Abstract
The object of the invention is a method and a device for testing or evaluating the configuration of an equipment item in an aircraft comprising an on-board information system having a highly secured part and a less secured part, the less secured part comprising a network interface capable of exchanging data with an external information system, the secured part comprising a maintenance function. After at least one command to test or evaluate the configuration of the equipment item has been received (400) via the said network interface, the received command is encoded (410) then transmitted (415) to the secured part of the information system of the aircraft. In response to the reception of the encoded command, this is filtered (420). In response to the filtering step, the encoded command is translated and executed (425) in relation to the maintenance function.
