4.4.1.4 ARINC 429 Ports
Configuring the ARINC 429 ports should be done before configuring the avionics equipment. Select
ARINC 429 ports from the Setup menu, the ARINC 429 receiver menu will be displayed. With all
avionics equipment turned on, you can set the speed and the equipment type for each channel
automatically (Autodetect) or individually. Manually configuring each individual receiver channel is
recommended, however you can select Autodetect.
Autodetect will configure the equipment type and speed of each receiver channel. To identify the
equipment Autodetect checks for ARINC-429 label 377 (equipment ID), if that's not present then it
checks for label 371 (general aviation equipment ID). If the equipment can not be identified then the
receiver channel will be set to the default of NoType and NoSpeed. Autodetect will not work for multiple
data inputs (i.e., ARINC-429 superbus).
Selecting ARINC 429 ports from the Setup menu will cause the ARINC 429 Receivers menu to appear:
