- FIG. 2 schematically illustrates an example of a hardware and software architecture for an on-board router 14 of the ATN telecommunications aeronautical network.
- This embedded router 14 is constituted, as usual, a specialized computer with a central unit 20, a memory, and different input-output interfaces.
- the memory has different parts, mainly:
- ATN stack with registers whose manipulation by the central unit 20 allows the implementation of the transmission protocols of the ATN network as well to generate the flow of data transmitted from the edge to the ground from the information to transmission and service information used for establishing, maintaining and concluding a link within the ATN network, only for extracting the information contained in the data stream received from the ground during a link and their redirections to the onboard equipment concerned,
- a part 22 used for storing different program modules and a part 23 used for storing a database on the ATN network.
- the input-output interfaces connect the onboard router 14 with different equipment of the aircraft which are essentially:
- the transceiver systems 25, 26, 27, 28 of the aircraft can act as heads of air-ground communication subnetworks for the ATN network,
- the equipment 29 of the aircraft that can be brought to use the ATN network to exchange information with the ground, and

- MCDU Multipurpose Control Display Unit
- program modules stored in the part 22 of the memory of the router and executed in time shared by the central unit 20 of the router there are classically:
- a management and task management software module 31 managing the activities of the various on-board transceivers 25, 26, 27, 28 which can serve as a communication sub-network head,
- CMA 32 software module responsible for initializing, maintaining and cutting a link

- Non-ATC Apps responsible for the execution of tasks relating to the management of the flight and the aircraft
- an SM-SME software module 36 responsible for maintaining and completing a subnetwork connection.
- the CMA software module needs to know the address of the destination ground application in the ATN network. To determine this address and to enable the initiation of an automatic contact procedure, it is proposed to exploit the data broadcast by some telecommunication ground stations, including VDL ground stations.
- VDL ground stations periodically broadcast all the information needed by aircraft to communicate in the form of frames according to the GSIF protocol.
- the information contained in the GSIF frames there are the different protocols and radio frequencies that supports the transmitting ground station, as well as the operational parameters proposed by the service provider responsible for the management of the radio channel. These parameters describe the necessary characteristics that must be used at the on-board router in the aircraft to be able to establish an efficient data link with the ground station.
- This GSIF general data transmitted periodically from the ground does not allow to directly obtain the network address of a destination application but allow the identification of the telecommunication ground station concerned. From the identification of the telecommunication ground station, it is possible to locate it geographically and to determine the address of the context control application CM of the ground control center of the closest air traffic geographically, by consultation of a file giving the addresses of the CM applications of the ground control centers by geographical areas.
- the onboard router 14 of an aircraft is equipped, as shown in FIG. 2, with a GSIF software module 36 exploiting the general data broadcast by the ground routing centers.
- its ATN database 23 is provided with a file associating, at each telecommunication ground station broadcasting general identification data, the context preparation application address (es) CM of the ground center (s). air traffic control.
- CM When there is only one CM application address corresponding to the identification of the telecommunication ground station, which is the most frequent case, the on-board router of an aircraft can proceed completely automatically to the exchange and identification of the application configuration at the datalink level of the aircraft and the ground control center.
- CM When there is a possible choice of application addresses CM, this one, always very reduced, is entrusted to the crew of the aircraft which sees the management task datalink considerably simplified.
- CM when a choice is proposed to the crew of the aircraft, it may be made optional by presenting as the modifiable default choice, the application address CM of the most important air traffic control ground center. near the identified ground routing center.
