I've heard there's a one way (readonly) link from the aeronautic side to the IFE, which is used for sending the IFE a small amount of information, used to display the moving map and sensor values (altitude, temp, etc) on the seat back displays. I'm speculating, but this link could be for example some sort of legacy serial data link with only one TX->RX pin being used.
- sokoloff 11y agoI'm also speculating, but in the case of it being a serial link (very common), it's probably ARINC-429 as that's the predominant standard in aviation low and medium (read: very low and low) speed data exchange. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARINC_429 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARINC_429 ) I find ARINC-429 to be quite elegant/pleasing as an engineer and impressive for the time of its creation.
