INMARSAT C SYSTEM

Introduction The Inmarsat C system provides worldwide telex and data transmission and reception of written information to owners of an Inmarsat C transceiver or a terrestrial telex network via satellite. Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information sent are first stored at a LES and then delivered to designated party. An EGC (Enhanced Group Call) receiver is built in the FELCOM to receive the following types of messages, broadcasts from a LES:

• SafetyNETTM-governments and maritime authorities can use this service to distribute maritime safety information to ships within selected areas.

• FleetNETTM-commercial subscription organizations or shipping companies can use this service to transmit trade information (for example, company news or market prices) simultaneously to a selected group of ships, to provide up-to-the-minute information.

FELCOM allows you to make distress calls. They are given immediate priority over all other calls, and are automatically routed to a land-based Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC). Besides its primary application of ship-shore, shore-ship or ship-ship communications, the Inmarsat C service has also proved beneficial to trucking firms who have found it indispensable for communicating with their vehicles. In this manual, however, we will concentrate on ship applications, the main application.

Inmarsat C system configuration

The Inmarsat C system consists of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite Control Centers (SCC), Network Coordination Stations (NCS), Land Earth Stations (LES) and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at Inmarsat�s London headquarters, coordinates a wide range of activities in the Inmarsat system, including commissioning of mobile earth stations. The Inmarsat C system divides the world into four regions and each region is covered by its own satellite.

In each region there is one NCS and several LESs. The NCS keeps track of all Inmarsat C transceivers in its region and broadcasts information such as navigational warnings, weather reports and news. The LES provides the link between the MES and the terrestrial telecommunications networks via satellite.

Inmarsat C communications network NCS common channel The NCS has two major functions: 1) Transmitting information on a common channel. 2) Transmitting EGC messages to MESs. NCS/LES signaling link This is the link between NCS and all LESs in its

region. All EGC messages pass through this link. LES TDM channel This channel carries the circuit control signal for

MES and transmits messages from LES to MES. MES message channel This channel carries messages from MES to LES. MES signaling channel This channel transmits requests, distress alerts, data

reports, etc. In addition, it carries login and logout from MES to NCS.

NCS/NCS signaling link This is the link between NCSs. It exchanges data between MESs operating in different ocean regions.

MES interface The MES consists of the Data Circuit Terminating Equipment (DCE) and the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). The DCE consists of the antenna unit, and the DTE consists of the terminal unit, a keyboard and printer.

Terrestrial network The major functions of the LESs are: interface 1) Telex store-and-forward conversion 2) Handling EGC messages 3) Handling distress alerts 4) Data Reporting and Polling

INMARSAT C SYSTEM

Types of MES There are three types of MES: class 1, class 2 and class 3. This FELCOM is a class 2 MES.

Class 1: 1) Transmits messages to LES 2) Receives messages from LES Class 2: 1) The functions of class 1 plus operation as an EGC receiver

when not transmitting or receiving. 2) EGC-only receiver Class 3: The function of class 1 plus simultaneous operation as an

EGC-only receiver.

Peripheral Equipment

The following equipment can be additionally connected to the FELCOM.

Incoming Indicator (IC-306) The IC-306 releases an audio alarm and flashes its lamp when a routine message is received.

Distress Alert/Received Call Unit (IC-305) The IC-305 enables transmission of the distress alert from a remote location; for example, ship�s bridge. (For further details see paragraph 6.2.)

Distress Message Controller (DMC-5) The optional DMC-5 provides for transmission and monitoring of the distress alert. For further details, refer to the operator�s manual of the DMC-5.

2.3 Login and Logout Each time the terminal unit is turned on, register your vessel with the Inmarsat C system to enable communications between your vessel and an LES. This is called login. The first time you login you must do it manually; thereafter the NCS does it for you automatically, even when you move to another ocean region. Note that you can transmit the distress alert and receive EGC messages unless you are logged in. If you will not be using the FELCOM for a prolonged period, you should logout from the Inmarsat C system, before turning off the terminal unit. The Inmarsat C system will then register you as inactive, notifying anyone trying to call you that you are currently unavailable. If you do not log out before turning off the power, the LES may attempt to send a message to you. It may charge your correspondent, even if you don�t receive the message.

2.4 EGC Settings 2.4.1 What is the EGC (Enhanced Group Call) service?

The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNETTM or FleetNETTM messages via an LES to a specific groups of ships, or to all ships within a defined geographical area. To send an EGC message, the information provider prepares the message, and then accesses the appropriate Country of the international telex network to send the message to an LES. The LES processes and forwards it to the NCS for the ocean region designated by the provider. Then, the NCS broadcasts the message throughout the ocean region. Although all MESs can receive the EGC message, the message is accepted only by those EGC receivers that have been pre-programmed for the area or group conditions contained in the message. All other EGC receivers reject the message. Two EGC services are available: 1) SafetyNETTM

This provides a means for information providers to distribute Maritime Safety Information (MSI) from shore-to-ship. Authorized information providers include: a) Hydrographic Offices, for navigational warnings b) National Weather Services, for meteorological warnings and forecasts c) Rescue Co-ordination Center, for shore-to-ship distress alerts and other

urgent information d) International Ice Patrol, for North Atlantic ice hazards

2) FleetNETTM

This service allows authorized information providers such as commercial subscription services, shipping companies and governments, which have registered with a LES that supports FleetNETTM, to broadcast messages to selected group of MESs. Typical applications of FleetNETTM are a) Fleet or company broadcasts b) News broadcasts c) Commercial weather services d) Market quotations e) Government broadcasts to all vessels on a country�s registration

4. INMARSAT C COMMUNICATIONS This chapter explains how to transmit and receive. Before conducting any communications, be sure to login with the NCS in your area, following the instructions in paragraph 2.3.1. To transmit e-mail, register with the LES provider which provides e-mail services. E-mail charges are calculated separately.

4.1 Transmitting To transmit a message, create the message, attach the address of the recipient and then send it to the LES. The address of the recipient in the Inmarsat C system is his telex number, for transmission via landline, or MES Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN), when transmitting to a ship. The message can be one you�ve just prepared or one stored on a floppy disk. (Messages cannot be transmitted by direct keyboard input.)

4.1.1 Code description Code can be specified at the terminal unit. IA5: International alphabet No. 5, ASCII code (7 bit).

Specify this code to transmit English containing lower case alphabet. ITA2: No. 2 international communications alphabet (5 bit). Specify this code for

message which contains only No. 2 international communications alphabet (see A-11). ITA2 code is transmitted faster than IA5 code. Land-based telex equipment uses ITA2. The LES converts all codes into ITA2. Code which cannot be converted is shown with the question mark (?).

DATA: Data (8 bit). Use this code to transmit data.

4.4.2 Displaying EGC closed network ID (ENID) To join a FleetNETTM service, an MES must be registered with an information provider. The information provider adds the MES to the group which is to receive the service, by downloading a Group Call ID (via an LES which supports FleetNETTM broadcasts), uniquely addressed to the MES. The MES stores the ID and can accept broadcasts from the information provider. The MES operator cannot change this stored EGC closed network IDs (ENIDs). Up to 64 ENIDs are stored on a non-volatile memory. The ENID stored can be accessed for downloading and deleting via the satellite path. It is possible for an MES operator to inhibit (or activate as required), via the terminal unit, selected ENIDs previously downloaded. Along with the ENID, the name of the information provider is stored. In the event that a download command is received and the ENID storage area is full, an ENID which has been inhibited (de-activated) by the MES operator will be written over. If none has been inhibited, then the new download is not accepted. Follow the procedure below to inhibit (or activate) an ENID. 1. Press the function key [F4] to display EGC menu. 2. Press the [2] key to display the EGC Network ID List.

5. DATA REPORTING AND POLLINGThis chapter provides the information necessary for data reporting and polling reception. Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at regular intervals from your ship to your home office. When your ship receives a polling command from your home office, it automatically transmits polling data to your home office. No operator intervention is required during polling reception.

5.1 Data Reporting Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at predetermined intervals from your ship to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and other data sent from a navigator or an interface unit. The data transmitted from the FELCOM is temporarily stored in a data reporting file at the LES. When an operator at your home office accesses the LES, the LES delivers the data to your home office. Some LESs may deliver it without being accessed. Data reporting can be initiated by setting a data report on the FELCOM or receiving a polling command from your home office. FELCOM offers two types of data reporting as follows:

• Data report (on MES signaling channel)

Refer to paragraph 5.1.1.

• Message report (on MES message channel)

Refer to paragraph 5.1.2.

5.2 Polling When the FELCOM receives a polling command from your home office it automatically transmits data to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and other data sent from a navigator or an interface unit. A polling command from your home office can also activate a data report or message report if the corresponding setting is completed on the FELCOM. If a polling command with a file name is received, the FELCOM transmits the file to your home office.

5.2.1 Polling commands This paragraph shows you how to make the polling command at your home office. There are two kinds of polling commands: one is sent on the MES signalling channel and the other is sent on the MES message channel. Polling command on MES signalling channel

Request a land station to make the polling command because the format varies with land station. Polling command on MES message channel

To make the polling command, enter D???, hyphen, PIN code (max. 8 digits), hyphen, file name (stored in the floppy disk of the FELCOM), colon and text of message. To send file data, type a hyphen and file name. If no hyphen and file name is entered, MES automatically transmits nav data (own ship position, course, speed, etc). For PIN Code setting, refer to paragraph 5.1.2.
