This guide provides an overview of how to manage aircraft
data load functions using CPAS-3000 software. The data loader portion of CPAS-3000 transfers data files between a computer or tablet personal computer and various aircraft Line Replaceable Units (LRU). Please contact 319-295-5000 for technical support. NOTE This document is intended for quick reference only. For detailed operating instructions of CPAS-3000 software, please refer to the Rockwell Collins CPAS-3000 Data Loader Operators Guide, CPN 523-0790386. Complete the checklists that follow, in the order shown below, to install data into IFIS-5000 equipped aircraft using CPAS. CHECKLIST I Prepare the Computer for CPAS

CHECKLIST IV Prepare the Aircraft for Dataload CHECKLIST V Launch CPAS and Load Data
NOTE Aircraft loadable data from Rockwell Collins and Jeppesen is available through internet delivery and/or CD. This document will highlight the procedures for data received through the internet, and discusses CD operational issues where appropriate. CAUTION The computer network settings required by CPAS vs. the internet vary greatly, and it is recommended to dedicate the CPAS computer to aircraft use only. This document will highlight the use of a USB memory device to transfer data from an internet capable computer to the CPAS computer. This is not the only method available to load data in CPAS, but it is highly recommended.

CHECKLIST IV Prepare the Aircraft for Dataload
CHECKLIST V Launch CPAS and Load Data 1. Open the CPAS-3000 LAUNCHPAD icon on the desktop.
NOTE Dataload functions are only available when the aircraft is on ground. 1. It is recommended that the CPAS computer be plugged into an external power source, and that any power saving features be deactivated. 2. Connect the computer to the aircraft Ethernet port with a RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable. CAUTION There are two types of available Ethernet cables, straight and crossover. Contact your aircraft OEM to determine which is appropriate for your aircraft. NOTE Ethernet port locations vary by aircraft. Contact your aircraft OEM to determine port location for your aircraft. NOTE For aircraft equipped with dual Collins IFIS-5000, there will typically be two installed Ethernet ports. Each IFIS system is data loaded independently. 3. Place any installed data load or maintenance switch to its proper position to enable data load. NOTE The location and labels of any installed data load switching can vary by aircraft. Contact your aircraft OEM to verify switch location and correct position for dataload operations.
4. If an XM Broadcast Weather receiver is installed, it is
recommended to open (pull) the circuit breaker for this receiver. NOTE The location and label of this circuit breaker varies by aircraft. Contact your aircraft OEM to verify circuit breaker location and label.
2. Open the DATALOAD button. Make sure that the
message WAITING FOR THE NETWORK ADAPTER TO BE CONFIGURED AND FOR CPAS TO START UP is shows.
NOTE In some aircraft, the STAT button on the CCP is labeled DATABASE. The functionality remains the same.
CPAS-3000 Data Loading Instructions
Quick Reference Guide
8. Select the data file to be loaded.
9. Select the BEGIN LOAD button.
3. Once the CPAS DATALOADER window opens, select
the REFRESH TARGETS button. When selected, the REFRESH TARGETS button will gray out while target connections are made.
NOTE If the aircraft has dual Rockwell Collins FMS, then once an FMC 1 dataload is started, a dataload to FMC 2 can also be started. The two FMCs will load simultaneously. 10. Monitor the progress indicators.
NOTE On the MFD, the database list is removed and a PROCESSING REQUEST message is displayed. This message is replaced with DATABASE EFFECTIVITY FAULT and FSU INOP messages. All of these are normal messages during a CPAS dataload. 4. Wait for the REFRESH TARGETS button to restore. 5. Select the drop-down menu in the SELECT TARGET/LRU TO BE UPDATED field. Make sure all the available targets are shown. 429 Based LRUs FMC 1 FMC 2, if equipped with a dual Rockwell Collins FMS FSU MDC NODE.
5. Push the STAT button on the Cursor Control Panel
(CCP) to display the DATABASE EFFECTIVITY page on the Multifunction Display (MFD). Do not continue with data load operations until a complete list of installed data packages is shown. CAUTION Beginning a data load to the aircraft before the database list is fully populated will prevent normal data load operations and can damage the File Server Unit (FSU).
6. Highlight and select the intended target:
a. Select FSU if loading E-Maps, Jeppesen data, or Graphic Weather databases. b. Select FMC 1 or FMC 2 if loading FMS navigation data. 7. Select the drop-down menu in the SELECT DATA/SOFTWARE TO BE UPDATED field.
CAUTION If all targets are not visible, do not proceed. Contact Rockwell Collins for technical assistance, 319-295-5000.
11. When loading is complete, repeat steps 5 to 10 for
additional databases to be loaded. 12. When all dataloads are complete, select the EXIT CPAS button.
NOTICE INFORMATION SUBJECT TO EXPORT CONTROL LAWS
13. The message WAITING FOR THE ORIGINAL
NETWORK ADAPTER PARAMETERS TO BE RESTORED AND FOR CPAS-3000 TO SHUT DOWN will appear. Once the message clears, exit CPAS. 14. Monitor the DATABASE EFFECTIVITY page on the MFD until it has rebuilt the full list of databases. This is the indication that the FSU has restarted normally. CAUTION Shutting down avionics or aircraft power before the FSU has fully restarted can invalidate and corrupt the installed data. If this happens, the affected databases must be completely reloaded. 15. Reset all aircraft switches and circuit breakers to their normal positions. 16. Inspect the DATABASE EFFECTIVITY page for database currency.
