AV-Link Configuration Change When Connected to the AV-HSI

Configuration Changes When Connecting the AV-Link to the AV-HSI

Moving the AV-Link from the back of an AV-30 to the AV-HSI requires configuration changes in both the AV-HSI and AV-Link settings. Simply relocating the AV-Link without changing these settings will prevent it from communicating correctly.

1. Configure Serial 4 in the AV-HSI

Using a connected AV-30:

1. Open the AV-30 Installation Menu.
2. Navigate to AVHSI CFG and press the center knob.
3. Navigate to Serial 4.
4. Select the appropriate setting:

5. AV-HSI configuration	Serial 4 setting
   AV-Link only on Serial 4	AV-LINK
   AV-Link and an AV-30 connected through Serial 4 using pins 8 and 15	AVL+AV30

The AVL+AV30 setting allows Serial 4 to support both the AV-Link and the AV-30 connected through that channel.

2. Update the AV-Link Settings

After configuring Serial 4:

1. Power the AV-HSI and AV-Link.
2. Connect a computer or tablet to the AV-Link Wi-Fi network.
3. Open a web browser and navigate to 192.168.5.1.
4. Select Wi-Fi Settings in the lower-left corner.
5. Locate the AV-HSI Settings section.
6. Specify whether the AV-Link is connected to:
   • An AV-HSI without an AV-30 on Serial 4, or
   • An AV-HSI with an AV-30 on Serial 4.
7. Select Save.
8. Power-cycle the AV-30 displays, AV-HSI, and AV-Link.

3. Confirm Communication

After the system restarts, reconnect to the AV-Link Wi-Fi network and verify that the connected AV-30 units and AV-HSI are detected.

Each AV-30 must be running software version 3.0.1 or later to access the AV-HSI configuration menu and communicate through the AV-HSI.

Important: The AV-HSI Serial 4 setting and the selection in the AV-Link web interface must agree. If one is configured for an AV-30 on Serial 4 and the other is not, communication and software updates may not work correctly.

For the latest requirements, refer to the official AV-30 update and AV-Link configuration instructions.
