A method for processing previously detected identifications of apparatuses of an aircraft, wherein each apparatus has at least one communicative component. A reference dataset is used to compare the actual identifications with specified identifications, as a result of which a report signal based on the comparison result indicates whether the detected identifications correspond to the identifications represented by the reference dataset. If there is a positive match, this allows the conclusion that the apparatuses are correctly installed in the aircraft.

Method for processing identifications

A network access control method involves requesting access to a network via a wireless communication adapter for a personal electronic device. Then, an acoustic audio code output by an audio signaling device connected to the wireless communication adapter by wire is acoustically captured by the personal electronic device. A digital representation of the captured acoustic audio code is submitted from the personal electronic device to the wireless communication adapter via wireless communication. Subsequently, the wireless communication adapter authenticates the personal electronic device on the basis of the submitted digital representation of the captured acoustic audio code.

System for wireless network access control in an aircraft

A mobile monitoring device including a data signal interface for coupling to a data line arranged in an aircraft and carrying one or more sensor signals, such that, in operation, the data signal interface branches off and receives as input signal part of the energy of the sensor signals carried on the data line such that the input signal is characteristic of the one or more sensor signals, and provide an output signal characteristic of the input signal. The mobile monitoring device further includes a wireless communication interface connected to the data signal interface for receiving the output signal and adapted to wirelessly transmit the output signal to a remote location. The present disclosure further relates to a system including an aircraft and the mobile monitoring device, and to a method of collecting sensor measurement data from a plurality of sensors of an aircraft using the mobile monitoring device.
