How can I reduce the target list on the mini PDL-Pad so I only have settings that I use?

The mini PDL-Pad comes with a default target list. The operator has the possibility to tailor the target list by entering only the ones required on the FLS-Desk, This can be done by an Administrator in the Administration, ARINC615-A Settings menu, Further information on how to add the settings and a number of examples are contained here. Please note that when settings are defined here, the default settings, which are pre-installed on the mini PDL-Pad, will be unavailable.

What do the various banners that can be presented on the home page indicate and what are the consequences and required action to resolve?
- The following is applicable to PDLs with the ARINC 645 Security upgrade only. This banner is presented when the PDL has lost it's time reference. The consequences of this is that the LSAP digital signatures cannot be validated correctly at data load time, when the PDL is offline, as expiry dates, signing times etc require a date/time reference. This can be caused by the PDL being unpowered for a long period of time (>20 days) or a hardware fault with the Real Time Clock function. A hardware fault can be determined by synchronising the PDL, confirming the banner is removed and then power cycling the PDL. If the banner is present again after power up then a hardware fault is present that requires rectifying.

- The following is applicable to PDLs with the ARINC 645 Security upgrade only. This banner is presented when a certificate/CRL imported into the PDL is soon to expire, the default time is <1 week from the expiry date of the soonest certificate/CRL to expire. The certificates/CRL expiry dates should be checked either on the PDLs Advanced > Certificate Management page or the FLS-Desk Administration > Certificate Management page to determine which file(s) requires updating. Failure to replace the certificate or CRL within the required period will result in it expiring and any software parts that utilise that certificate/CRL in their trust chain will not be able to be loaded.

A clarification of the AMM has been identified when performing data loading of the ADIRU on A320, A330 and A340 aircraft. For the ADIRU to enter the reprogramming state it is required to see the reprogramming interlock discrete set when it powers up. The AMM task does not make this clear nor does it direct the operator to power on the ADIRU after the PDL and Cable have been attached to the data loading connector. An additional step is required to cycle the power of the ADIRU by opening and closing the circuit breaker after the portable data loader and cable have been connected to the data loading connector of the aircraft. Further details can be found in service information letter MBS_SIL_00023_A
