WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATIONS
Any alteration of this product voids the FAA or FCC certific
ation and the AirCell warranty.
2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ST 3100 ASE system provides access to a range of
two way communication options from an aircraft,
including voice and data applications. With the ST
3100 system these services are available when the
aircraft is in the air or on the ground. The AirCell satellite
mode communications link is provided using the
1600 MHz Iridium LEO (Low Earth Orbit-485 miles altit
ude) satellite network, which provides coverage from
the ground up over the entire surface of the earth.
2.1 TOP LEVEL SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
The ST 3100 system consists of a number of primary sys
tem components. The heart of the system is the
ST 3100 ASE Transceiver, which includes internal elec
tronics to support operation in the Iridium satellite
network. Other system components include the externa
lly mounted antenna, a low loss coaxial cable, and
various user interfaces including multiple ASE handsets
(up to 9), an RS -232 data port, and an audio panel
interface.

The primary components of an ASE system include Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) and AirCell specifi
assemblies (such as coaxial cables or wiring harnesses) that are manufactured or purchased by the system
installer. A list of the LRUs and specified assemblies is provided in Table 2.1-1, and a representative block
diagram is provided in Figure 2.1-1 to demonstrate the interconnection of a typical ST 3100 system. For
detailed information on the system components, please refer to ST 3100 ASE System installation manual
(AirCell document 800-10680), or contact AirCell Technical Support for assistance.

I Note: Each 'Handset Channel' listed above is capable of supporting up to 3 ASE handsets, making it
possible to integrate up to 9 handsets in the ST 3100 system.
I 2.2 OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
The user interface and operation of the ST 3100 system is designed to be very similar to the operation of a
I terrestrial cellular or PCS phone. Some key features of the ST 3100 system are as follows:
• The system will power up when the avionics master switch for the aircraft is powered on. The
AirCell system is always on when the avionics master is powered on.
• ' The Satellite mode network provides coverage anywhere on (or above) the surface of the earth with a
I clear view of the sky in all directions.
• To place a call from the system handset, the user must verify that the system is 'in service'. SAT
mode calls are typically dialed as international long distance calls (00 + country code + phone
number). After dialing, the user must press the " SND " key on the handset, and the phone call will
proceed as a typical cellular or PCS call. At the completion of a call, the user may press the " END
" key to terminate the call.
• The user may receive incoming (ground to air) phone calls depending on the in service condition.
The user can answer these calls by pressing the " SND " key on the handset.
• Data calls can be made from Air to Ground over the ST system by connecting a Data Terminal
Equipment device (such as a PC) to the RS-232 port of the system. The ST system has a built in
modem function, so some user setup of the DTE will be required.
) More detailed operating instructions are provided for this system in the ST 3100 User's manual (AirCell
document 810-10680).
