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 (ELB1) of the OCS to a second portion of a communications management function (CMF2) of the OCS. The message is configured into a transmittable data file and placed into an outgoing queue of the CMF2. The CMF2 automatically selects at least one desired communication channel from a plurality of available communication channels utilizing a configuration file of the CMF2. The CMF2 establishes 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.

29. An onboard computer system (OCS) of a mobile platform for transmitting data to a remote central computer system (CCS) including a CCS logbook application and a CCS communication management application, the OCS comprising:
-
a storage device;
an OCS logbook application residing on the storage device that is compatible with the CCS logbook application;
an OCS communication management application residing on the storage device that is compatible with the CCS communication application, and being configured to manage an outgoing queue and a plurality of communication channels between the OCS and the CCS;
an OCS processor in communication with the storage device and adapted to execute the OCS logbook application and the OCS communication management application to;
send a message containing data to be downloaded to the CCS from the OCS logbook application to the OCS communication management application;
configure the message into a transmittable data file;
place the transmittable data file into an outgoing queue of the OCS communication management application;
select at least one communication channel from a plurality of available communication channels; and
transmit the transmittable data file containing the data message from the OCS communication management application to the CCS communication management application, via the selected channel. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
