Allocating Communication Matrices to a Bus

You can allocate communication matrices to a bus of a topology or a bus of a subsystem.

Notes:
  • With the Electrical, Electronics and Software Architect (ELAET) and Electrical and Control Architect (EEWCI) roles, you can work with VLANs.
  • With the Avionics Architect (AVARA) role, you can work with virtual links.

Before you begin: Create a system mapping.

  1. Right-click the Bus Mappings node, select Allocate Matrices on Bus .
  2. Optional: If the topology of the system mapping is a subsystem, select Buses or Shared Virtual Links, in the Allocate Matrices on Bus dialog box.
  3. Depending on the type of topology, perform the following procedure:
    Topology TypeProcedure
    The topology is not a subsystem Select a bus and select a matrix with the same type.
    The topology is a subsystem and Buses is selected Select a bus and select a matrix with the same type.
    The topology is a subsystem and Shared Virtual Links is selected Select a shared virtual link and select a matrix with the same type (Ethernet).

    Note: You can also drag a matrix onto a bus or a shared virtual link.

  4. To associate these elements, click when it turns from red to green.

The mappings of communication matrices on the bus appear under Bus Mappings.
