RCH
The Remote Control Head (RCH), Telecore P/N 2AA-00600-00 is an aircraft rack-mount human machine
interface (HMI) device that provides a remote control interface for configuring and controlling the FAA
version of the MILSTAR Summing Device (MSD), Telecore P/N 2AA-00500-00. The RCH feature suite
includes provisioning, alarm management, call control, and system status information for the MSD system
through its 320x240 TFT-VGA display with touch screen control. A new RCH-PC version is now
available, providing for the same feature suite as the RCH.
The MSD will support up to two RCH units, allowing two remote sites simultaneous access to one specific
MSD. The control link between the RCH and the MSD is an RS-422 compatible link implementing a
point-to-point (PPP) protocol data control channel. The MSD and RCH provide optional differential inputs
for RS-422 transmit and receive clocks for synchronous operation; otherwise the RS-422 link will operate
asynchronously between the MSD and RCH.
The RCH is equipped with a front panel speaker used to sound alarm tones. The speaker volume and the
alarm tone are both adjustable via the front panel touch screen interface.
