USING ARINC 429 FUNCTIONALITY 

4.1  Connecting Applications running on Host System to ANET429 

The  following  chapters  describe  how  to  connect  PBA.pro  or  any  customer  specific 
application running on a host system to your ANET429. 
 

4.2  Connect to a ANET429 with PBA.pro 

Open the “Help\About\Settings” tab in PBA.pro and setup the “servers_ppa429” setting 
t

o the alias name or IP address used for your ANET429,  e.g.  “ANET429-3.local” (see 

figure “Figure 4-1 Connect to ANET429 with PBA.pro” below) and re-start the PBA.pro. 
 

 

Figure 4-1 Connect to ANET429 with PBA.pro 

 
After  a  re-start,  PBA.pro  should  show  the  available  ANET429  ARINC-Resources.  The 
figure below shows how it looks like for an ANET429-16.  (For the  -4 or -8 Versions,  4 
respectively 8 channels are shown in the resources window)
