The cabin services system automates many tasks that flight attendants previously performed
manually and allows easy control of lighting, boarding music, address system and cabin doors. The cabin
services system has improved the display of system faults by consolidating them on one panel, rather than
on individual panels above each seat. A better response time of maintenance crews servicing the aircraft
has resulted.
LynxOS' X and Motif subsystems handle the entire user interface. Boeing chose LynxOS
for its support of numerous off-the-shelf devices and for its strong adherence to industry standards.
Standards allow programmers to port code rapidly from other operating systems to LynxOS.
