Personal equipment systems can include wireless communication systems that allow external systems, users, or both to maintain the systems and/or run diagnostic procedures. Personal equipment systems are provided having one or more local devices coupled thereto and in wired communication with one another. Personal equipment systems can include a wireless system and local devices attached to a headgear system, the local devices being in wired communication with one another and in wireless communication with external systems. The wireless communication system is configured to establish a wireless connection with external systems for maintenance of local devices that are in wired communication with each other.
