CDBR/AIU

a) The mounting location of each CDBR/AIU should be accessible at later times for

system checkout and troubleshooting.

b) Prior to unit installation, perform a visual inspection on each unit for damaged

connectors or mounting hardware.

c) When connecting device cabling to a unit, insure that the connectors are fully engaged

and that the screws joining the connectors are securely fastened. Also ensure that

proper cable strain relief is provided at the unit interface to eliminate possible latent

stress damage problems.

d) Only cables that are to be used with equipment presently installed in the aircraft shall

be connected to each unit (i.e. cables placed in the aircraft for future expansion of

system capabilities shall not be connected to a CDBR/AIU).

Note: Only one digital phone shall be connected to a CDBR digital handset port.

Do not connect more than one digital phone to a CDBR digital handset phone port.

(Do !!.2! make a "split" phone cable to connect two phones or two jacks to one

CDBR phone port.)

HANDSETS

5.1.16.1 Generallnfomation

a) Prior to Handset installation, perform a visual inspection of each Handset and

Handset cable for damaged connectors or mounting hardware.

b) When connecting a Handset to the Handset cabling, insure that the connector is fully

engaged.

c) After the Handset is installed in the aircraft, remove the Handset from its holder and

insure that the Handset cord ratchet mechanism functions properly.

d) Replace the Handset in the holder and insure that the Handset seats properly.

5.1.6.2.1 System Overview

The MagnaStar C-2000 Airborne Radio Telecommunications Unit (ARTU) operates a

Local Area Network (LAN) bus. which LAN repeaters such as the CDBRs and the CAS

use to interface with the ARTU. A Cabin Distribution Bus Repeater model 1 (CDBR-1) is

used to interface one or two digital handsets to the system. A Call Alerter Switch (CAS)

can be used to interface a ringer to each digital handset to the system.

5.1.6.2.2 CDBR-1/Handset Cable (W6)

The CDBR-1/Handset Cable is identified as cable W6 in the C-2000 Interface Control

Document (ICD). If needed, refer to paragraph 2.3.4.1 of the C-2000 ICD for specific

information about the pinouts or components of W6. W6 P1 connects to the CDBR-1 J3

or J4, and P2 provides a connection point for the digital handset
