8.13 WI-FI CONNECTIONS
The optional GDL 59 Data Link provides a high speed IEEE 802.11g Wi-Fi data link between the aircraft and a
ground computer network while the aircraft is on the ground and located within range of the network.
The system is capable of WEP64, WEP128,WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK encryption formats. WPA-Enterprise
and WPA2-Enterprise are not supported. Connections that require web proxies, captive portals, or other elements
that require user credentials, including a username and password or a redemption or access code; or require
action such as accepting a user agreement, are not supported.
Control and monitoring of Wi-Fi functions are accomplished through the AUX-WI-FI SETUP Page.
Viewing the Wi-Fi Setup Page:
1) Turn the large FMS Knob on the MFD to select the AUX page group.
2) Turn the small FMS Knob to select the AUX ‑ WI‑FI SETUP Page.
Setting up a new Wi-Fi connection:

window as shown in Figure 8‑114. Signal strength is shown for each network, as well as security requirements
and whether the network has been saved in the system’s memory.
