Abstract
A system and method are provided for establishing a communication link between an on onboard computer system (OCS) of a mobile platform and a central computer system (CCS) located remotely from the mobile platform. A message containing data to be downloaded from the OCS to the CCS is sent from a first portion of an electronic log book function (ELB) of the OCS to a second portion of a communications management function (CMF) of the OCS. The message is configured into a transmittable data file and placed into an outgoing queue of the CMF. The CMFautomatically selects at least one desired communication channel from a plurality of available communication channels utilizing a configuration file of the CMF. The CMFestablishes a secure link between the OCS and the CCS utilizing the automatically selected communication channel and sends the transmittable data file to the CCS, via the secure established link over the automatically selected channel.
