MODES AND OPERATION
The AIC includes basic modes of operation, Protocol Conversion Mode, Remote
Access Mode, and Stand Alone Mode.
3.1 Standalone Mode
Standalone mode allows the AIC to operate as a user programmable computer
system. Software Development Kits (SDKs) are provided for MIL-STD-1553 and
ARINC 429 to facilitate the development of applications requiring communication on
these avionics I/Os. Onboard video, a Serial port and USB ports can also be utilized
to further enhance Standalone mode. The user will not need to depend on a host PC.

3.2 Remote Access Mode
Remote Access Mode is a capability of the Avionics Interface Computer.
Figure 5 shows an example of the Avionics Interface Computer operating in Remote
Access Mode. In Remote Access Mode, users are able to develop applications
running on a remote computer that communicates over Ethernet to the AIC’s MIL-
STD-1553 and/or ARINC 429 channels. In the remote access configuration, the user
is able to write applications running on a remote host that invoke the AceXtreme MIL-
STD-1553 and/or ARINC 429 APIs. For use in Remote Access Mode, DDC offers
