Abstract
According to some embodiments, a system includes a wireless test module (WTM) side hot-swap connector located between a chassis of a first WTM and a variable front end of the first WTM. The variable front end of the first WTM may mate to an aircraft connector. The WTM side hot-swap connector may mate to a front end side hot-swap connector of the variable front end of the first WTM. The WTM side hot-swap connector includes a female connector, an alignment peg configured to couple to the variable front end of the first WTM, a slip ring configured to secure the first WTM in place, and an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) read/write wire integrated on a circuit board operable to read/write data of the aircraft connector.
