INTRODUCTION
The Communication Management system typically includes three
software applications: the Airline/Aircraft Operational Control (AOC),
Air Traffic Services (ATS), and the Technical applications. Additional
applications may be supported based on customer specific needs.
These additional applications are not required to have associated
display pages. The AOC application can provide for the customer
specific functionality. The ATS application provides for air traffic services
such as ATIS, TWIP, and clearances. The Technical application
provides for link maintenance and other system and maintenance
functions that are not typically used by the operator. For this reason,
this guide includes only the portions of the Technical application that
may be of procedural interest to the operator.
The CMU software system is partitioned into three applications to allow
the customer to easily make modifications to the AOC functionality and
field it quickly. The system is certified such that the AOC application is
a user-modification dataset that is not required to be certified. This
allows the AOC to be easily modified to meet the needs of the individual
customer.
Although the partioning of the applications is designed to be as
seamless as possible, it cannot be made completely transparent to the
user. This operators guide is organized with the intent of providing a
logical flow while keeping the contents of each application grouped
together. It is intended to serve as a quick reference summary. The
reader should keep this in mind when looking for a particular function or
display page description.

Safety Summary CMU-4000/RIU-40X0
SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING
Individual operators may set specific operating procedures which
may not be the same as those described in this guide. Refer to
the appropriate airplane flight manuals for information specific to
your airplane.
WARNING
Sunglasses with polarized lenses or lenses that are designed to
filter specific colors/frequencies of light may adversely affect a
pilots ability to see some colors shown on displays. Some elements
on the display can be completely invisible while wearing these
types of sunglasses. Also, the color of some elements may be
changed. For example, some blue light filtering lenses can change
magenta to red.
WARNING
The CMU-4000/RIU-40X0 and related components exhibit a very
high degree of functional integrity. However, users must recognize
that it is not practical to provide monitoring for all conceivable
system failures, and that erroneous operation could occur without
a fault indication. The operator has the responsibility to detect
such an occurrence by means of cross-checks with redundant or
correlated information available in the cockpit.

CMU-4000/RIU-40X0 Introduction
OVERVIEW DATALINK SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The Datalink Communication system provides for the transmission
of digital data to and from an aircraft via VHF, HF, and SATCOM
subnetworks. These messages, referred to as uplinks and downlinks,
facilitate two-way communication for applications such as:
Weather reports
Air Traffic Control clearances
Communications with airline Dispatch and Maintenance through fixed
format and free text messages.
Other applications included automated OOOI reports (Out-Off-On-In)
reports and flight plan filing and updates, just to name a few.
The onboard AOC functionality interacts with an Information Provider
via a ground Datalink Service Provider (DSP). The Information Provider
services all AOC transactions with the aircraft. The aircraft operator
contracts with a selected Information Provider to service all AOC
transactions. The Information Provider, in turn, contracts with worldwide
ground DSPs, such as ARINC, SITA, Avicom, etc. to establish the
ground/air links and message routing capability with the Information
Provider
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A datalink system installation consists of a Communication Management
Unit (CMU), up to three Multifunction Control Display Units (MCDU)
and one or two Flight Management Computers (FMC), as well as
communication radios such as VHF, HF and/or SATCOM. The CMU
allows datalink communications with the Information Provider via the
DSP. The CMU also has the capability to transfer datalink flight plan
information to and from the FMCs. As a future enhancement, the CMU
will interact with other onboard systems to access weather files and
other Information Provider data that is saved on disk or in mass memory
during preflight planning.

System Description CMU-4000/RIU-40X0
KEY OPERATING FEATURES

The intent of the Datalink System is to eliminate the need to transmit
routine information by voice communications. Several benefits of
datalink transmission over voice communication have been realized.
Datalink communication reduces the congestion on voice
frequencies.
Datalink communication allows for the transmission of large amounts
of information in very short bursts.
Datalink communication provides for automated reporting of OOOI
and position data.
In the cockpit, an organized display of uplinked information and text
messages may be stored and selected for display at a later time.
If a printer is installed, text messages or data may be printed for
future reference.

System Description CMU-4000/RIU-40X0
COMPONENTS
CMU The CMU-4000 and RIU-40X0
products provide the same
functionality. The RIU-40X0
product will be used in datalink
installations with a Rockwell
Collins integrated audio system.
The CMU-4000 will be used with
non-integrated audio systems.
The CMU provides the airborne
interface between the datalink
communications network ground
stations and the aircraft. The
CMU may interface with VHF
radio, HF data unit, or SATCOM
through either a shared voice/data
or dedicated VHF transceiver,
HF data radio, or satellite data
unit. The CMU encodes digital
messages into data that can
pass through the communication
system, and decodes audio
signals received from the
ground/satellite into digital data.
Control Display The CDU is a combination display
Unit (CDU) screen and keyboard, and is the
pilots primary interface with the
datalink system. The CDU may
be a Multipurpose Control Display
Unit (MCDU) that can be shared
with an FMS, ACMS/DFDAU,
SATCOM, or other avionics. The
CDU may also be one of a variety
of Interactive Display Units (IDU)
that combine display and entry by
using a touch screen for display,
keyboard entry, and line select
key presses.

CMU-4000/RIU-40X0 System Description
Communication The communication system may

System consist of two-way VHF data
radio, HF data radio, SATCOM,
or any combination of the three.
SATCOM is generally used only
on transoceanic flights where
VHF line-of-sight communications
are not possible, or where
VHF receiving stations are
not available. HF is used in
transoceanic or long distance
communications either as a
primary system or as a backup to
SATCOM.

MESSAGES AND ANNUNCIATORS
INTRODUCTION
Active advisories signal the crew that either a condition requires
attention or that a function is available. The advisory text is displayed
next to line select key R6 (refer to figure on page 4-4 and the figure on
page 7-1.) Typically a crew action clears the advisory. Three categories
of active advisories are available. TECHNICAL advisories have the
highest priority, followed by ATS, then AOC advisories. Only the highest
priority active advisory is displayed when more than one advisory is
activated concurrently.
The AOC Active Advisories are designed to work in a hierarchical
fashion. The intent is to be able to get the user directly to (or as close
as possible to) the uplinked report just received. Therefore, if a single
report is received, an advisory will be displayed to take the user directly
to that report. On the other hand, if more than one report has been
received (and not yet viewed), an advisory that takes the user as close
as possible to those reports will be displayed. For example, if both
WINDS ALOFT and TERM WX reports are received, the WEATHER
advisory, which takes the user to the WEATHER menu, will appear .At
that point, the user makes the decision as to which reports to view.
The AOC advisory hierarchy is shown in the following diagram.
Figure 6-1 AOC Advisory Hierarchy
Inactive advisories are informational in nature. The advisory is

displayed as depicted in figure on page 7-1. Typically these advisories

5. The RETURN select causes the display of either the previous menu
page or the previous function page if an active advisory activated
the page that is currently displayed.
ADVISORIES
The Datalink system alerts the crew to specific events or conditions
in the cockpit. It reports any delay or divergence from the expected
events in a flight leg. The CMU shows active and inactive advisories
on all display pages.
Active advisories alert the crew that a condition requires attention, or
that a function is available. Active advisories show in the lower right
corner of the display. When selected on the display by pushing the
adjacent line select key, active advisories cause a specific function to
be performed.

Advisories CMU-4000/RIU-40X0
Figure 7-2 ATC Advisory On Display Page
Inactive advisories are informational in nature, and do not require

action from the crew. Typically these advisories are extinguished when
either the triggering condition no longer exists or a timer expiration has
occurred. Inactive advisories show in the lower-center of the display.
When more than one active or inactive advisory is simultaneously
activated, only the highest priority advisory shows. When the advisory
is cleared, the next highest priority advisory shows. This continues until
all advisories are cleared. Refer to the Messages and Annunciators
chapter of this pilots guide for the list of the active and inactive
advisories. They are listed in order of priority, from high to low.
AURAL ALERTING
The MU supplies two relay contact sets that are connected to visual
and aural annunciators, usually recognized as a chime (bell) and a light.
On EICAS-equipped aircraft, the EICAS displays a Datalink message
and triggers the cockpit chime when appropriate. The relays may be
triggered by any of the following:
TECHNICAL
Manual selection via the CHIME TEST page.
Detection that system configuration data is incomplete.
