17. These conditions cause the common core system (CCS) to power-up in the inhibited mode: (1)
Airplane in the air or (2) Either FUEL CONTROL switch set to RUN or (3) No air/ground or FUEL
CONTROL switch data is available.

18. If a network switch fails, there is no effect on airplane system operation. The same data goes on both
the A and B channels.

19. On battery power only, the CCR system powers up in the uninhibited mode. This takes 2 to 3
minutes.

20. The power conditioning modules in the L CCR cabinet remove and reapply power to the cabinet
modules.
21. No, this is not a good idea. The reset switches do not let the CCR cabinet do a normal shutdown and
can cause memory faults. These switches are for flight crew use only.

22. The 42 CCS maintenance pages show the status of these connections.

63.  Fault code
 EICAS message
 Fault description
 Maintenance message number
64. Yes. You can get the maintenance message number from CMCF on a multifunction display or the
EFB. Enter the number on the FIM Fault Finder page in Toolbox Remote to see the link to the FIM
procedure.

65. These are the steps to make a wireless full connection to the airplane:
1. Make a wireless limited connection to the airplane

4. On a cabin handset, dial the correct 2 digit code

2. Click on the Connection link on the MCDF toolbar

5. Enter the 4-digit code that shows on the laptop into the cabin handset

3. Select CHANGE CONNECTION on the dialog box that shows on the maintenance laptop

You have 30 seconds to complete these steps.

66. The factors that decide which MCDF AIRPLANE FUNCTIONS are available are (1) connection type
and (2) GND TEST switch position.

67. If the arrows turn, the maintenance laptop is connected to the airplane and data transfer is active.

68. If the arrows do not show or turn, disconnect and reconnect the laptop to the airplane. If that does not
fix the problem, the next step is to restart the maintenance laptop.

 Central Maintenance: CMCF

69. If fault data goes to the primary display system (PDS) to make a flight deck effect and the fault data
also goes to CMCF, CMCF shows a correlated maintenance message.

70. A sensor has a fault and sends fault data to CMCF. There is no flight deck effect (FDE). CMCF shows
a non-correlated maintenance message.

71. fault code with no maintenance message.

72. You can use these devices to see and control the CMCF:
 Maintenance laptop (ML)
 Electronic Flight Bag (EFB)
 Multifunction Display (MFD)
73. Use LINE MAINTENANCE > INBOUND FLIGHT DECK EFFECTS to see data about this fault. To
show in EXISTING FLIGHT DECK EFFECTS, a fault must be ACTIVE or LATCHED. Since this fault
went NOT ACTIVE during the flight, it only shows in INBOUND FDE (and FAULT HISTORY).

74. EXTENDED MAINT > PRESENT LEG FAULTS. Remember, non-correlated maintenance messages
do not have a related flight deck effect. You could also find data about this fault in EXISTING
FAULTS.

75. If a fault tolerant system is one fault away from making an FDE, the CMCF makes a MAINTENANCE
MEMO.

76. For most ground tests, the GND TEST switch must be in the ENABLE position. Only use the
DATALOAD/ENABLE position if you use ODLF to do a data load.

77. Show MCDF toolbar > Select AIRPLANE FUNCTIONS > Select CMCF from the pull-down menu.

show.
Correct the fault.  1st  2nd  3rd  4th  5th  6th

82. Use CMCF to collect more data about a fault. Look for the maintenance message number.

83. Step 5 of the 6-step fault isolation process is ‘Return to the FIM’. The FIM may have another task to
do. It also tells you the corrected fault conditions (such as ‘the maintenance message shows NOT
ACTIVE or does not show’)

84. The technician did not do Step 6 of the 6-step fault isolation process; ‘Verify the FDE does not show’.
The technician did not go to the flight deck and verify the status message does is gone. If the ground
test passed, the status message that the flight crew sees is probably a latched status message.

 Data Management, ACMF

85. The terminal wireless LAN unit (TWLU) automatically loads software to and from the core network file
server module when the airplane is at the gate.

86. If TWLU does not operate, use the software maintenance tool (SMT) to move LSAPs from the airline
server to the core network.

87. Use the onboard data load function (ODLF) to load LSAPs from the file server module (FSM) on the
airplane to airplane systems.

88. SMT is on the maintenance laptop.

89. You use onboard storage management (OSM) to view or delete LSAPs stored on the FSM on the
airplane.

90. You can use these devices to get access to OSM and ODLF:
 Maintenance laptop
 Electronic flight bag (EFB)

91. To use the maintenance laptop to load data using the onboard dataload function (ODLF) you:
 log on to the maintenance laptop with a wired or wireless full connection.
 set the ground test switch to the DATALOAD / ENABLE position.

92. The airplane condition monitoring function (ACMF) monitors, records, and reports airplane conditions
such as engine performance and trend analysis of maintenance data?
93. Use these devices to get access to the airplane condition monitoring function (ACMF):
 Electronic flight bag (EFB)
 Maintenance laptop
94. These software parts are necessary for the ACMF to operate:

 ACMF
 Data gathering application (DGA)
 Airline modifiable information (AMI)
95. ACMF stores configuration data and reports in the file server module in the core network (but data
can also go to the printer, ML, or be sent via datalink to a ground station)

 EFB, FR, Printer, FDEVSS
96. To see an EFB fault, select SYSTEM PAGE. The EFB MAINENANCE page shows.

97. Make these selections on the EFB to show the CMCF?

> >

98. When you push the EFB button on a CCD, the cursor moves to the onside EFB display. This is the
only way to show a cursor on an EFB.

99. The controls on the left and right sides of the electronic flight bag (EFB) display unit (DU) are line
select keys (LSK). The function keys are at the top and bottom.

100. To enter data on the electronic flight bag (EFB), use the:

 virtual keyboard.
 optional keyboard.
101. True. The EFB is touch screen. You can also use the captain or first officer cursor or line select
keys to make selections.

102. When the XFR (transfer) mode is active, only the XFR and MENU buttons operate.

103. From the EFB main menu, select to get access to the MMEL.
104. Remove the FR from the airplane and send the FR to the shop. You cannot download FR audio if
the FR is installed in the airplane.

105. The forward flight recorder and the flight deck area microphone get power from the RIPS. The
RIPS does not send power to the aft FR.

106.  Captain EFB

 First officer EFB
 Maintenance laptop
 Multifunction display (MFD)
107. The signal flow for the video signal from a flight deck entry camera is camera to SCIU to core
network to EFB EU to EFB.

108. A failure in the surveillance camera interface unit (SCIU) could cause all 3 video images to fail.
The CCR cabinets are not part of the FDEVS system.

109. The cameras get 12v dc from the SCIU. If there is no power at a camera, the most likely cause is
a fault in the SCIU.

110. If the border around a FDEVSS video thumbnail is blue, it means that image is frozen and can not
update.
