INMARSAT C SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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. Further, e-mail can be sent via the internet. Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information sent are first stored at an LES and then delivered to designated party. An EGC (Enhanced Group Call) receiver is built in the FELCOM 15 to receive the following types of messages, broadcast by LESs:
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. EGC system-related is sent by Inmarsat to certain shipping companies and geographical areas.
FELCOM 15 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 Inmarsats 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. Inmarsat system satellites

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 LESs provide 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. This is the link between NCS and all LESs in its region. All EGC messages pass through this link. This channel carries the circuit control signal for MES and transmits messages from LES to MES. This channel carries messages from MES to LES. This channel transmits requests, distress alerts, data reports, etc. In addition, it carries login and logout from MES to NCS. This is the link between NCSs. It exchanges data between MESs operating in different ocean regions. 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 a terminal unit, a keyboard and printer. The major functions of the LESs are: 1) Telex store-and-forward conversion 2) Handling EGC messages 3) Handling distress alerts 4) Data Reporting and Polling

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. Note that you can transmit the distress alert or receive EGC messages even if you are not logged in. If you will not be using the FELCOM 15 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, some LESs may attempt to send a message to you. They may charge your correspondent, even if you dont receive the message.

EGC Settings
What is the EGC (Enhanced Group Call) service?
The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNETTM, FleetNETTM and System messages via an LES to a specific groups of ships, or to all ships within a defined geographical area. Each type of EGC service is sent as follows: 1) The information provider prepares the message, and then accesses the appropriate Country of the international telex network to send the message to an LES. 2) The LES processes and forwards it to the NCS for the ocean region designated by the provider. 3) Then, the NCS broadcasts the message throughout the ocean region. (The operator may choose the EGC messages to receive by position (one position) and geographical position (nine areas). For further details see paragraph 2.4.2.)

Preparing a confidential file

If communicating with another FELCOM 15, you can prepare a confidential message by entering S???-addressee code(-password): in the first line of the message text. You can also receive confidential messages containing this header from a land subscriber or any MES which uses the FELCOM 15. There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code and message with both addressee code and password. When the FELCOM 15 receives a confidential message, the message is neither displayed nor printed immediately. To display or print the contents of a confidential message, the recipient executes the procedure shown in paragraph 4.2.3. Addressee code and password Caller and recipient agree beforehand on both the addressee code and the password. The addressee code might be the title of the recipient; for example, CAPTAIN. The password could be the classification of the message; for example, SECRET. Preparing message with addressee code Type the addressee code as shown in the illustration below and then type the text of message.
Be sure to enter colon.

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, you may need to register for e-mail services with appropriate LES which provides such services. Further, it is necessary to register with appropriate LES to receive e-mail from land mail system. For further details, contact appropriate LES.
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 youve 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. 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. IA5:

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 [F4] key to display EGC menu. 2. Press the [2] key to display the EGC Network ID List.

DATA REPORTING AND POLLING

This 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; that is, a request for navigation data from your ship, it automatically transmits this data to your home office. No operator intervention is required during polling reception.

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 15 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 15 or receiving a polling command from your home office. FELCOM 15 offers two types of reports 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.

DISTRESS OPERATIONS
Transmitting the Distress Alert
Set the LES where to send the distress alert, referring to steps 1-3 in paragraph 6.2. When a life-endangering situation arises on your vessel and you do not have the time to specify the nature of distress, do the following to transmit the distress alert to an LES. 1. Open the cover of the [DISTRESS] button on the terminal unit or the Distress Alert Unit/Received Call Unit IC-305. 2. Press the [DISTRESS] button until the lamp in the button lights continuously (about four seconds). The distress alert will not be transmitted until the lamp in the button lights continuously and the audio alarm sounds. The message Sending Distress Alert appears on the screen while the distress alert is being transmitted. When you receive acknowledgment of the distress alert from an LES, the message Distress Acknowledgement Received appears on the screen, the lamp in the [DISTRESS] button flashes slowly and the audio alarm sounds intermittently. To silence the audio alarm, press the [F10] key on the keyboard. Note: The [DISTRESS] button on the FELCOM 15 or the Distress Alert/Receive Call Unit IC-305 cannot be used to silence the audio alarm for incoming distress or EGC urgency broadcast. The [DISTRESS] button is for transmitting distress alert for own ship. It cannot be used to silence the audio alarm. Use the [F10] key to silence the audio alarm.

E-MAIL BY PC
Overview
The FELCOM 15 incorporates various e-mail protocols including POP3 and SMTP. Connected to a LAN via the Ethernet(10Base-T) port on a PC, the FELCOM 15 can send and receive e-mail using the PCs e-mail application, for example, Outlook Express.
8.1.1
Overview of mail functions

Mail gateway Received mail may be forwarded to specific mail server. Selective forwarding Received mail which contains a keyword can be forwarded to the mail address which appears after the keyword in a message. Access restriction A specific PC on a network can be designated to send mail. Automatic attachment decoding MIME-encoded mail sent from a network can be automatically decoded by UUENCODE or BINARY decoding format. Outgoing message size restriction The administrator of the FELCOM 15 can specify maximum outgoing message size (Max. size 32KB) allowable for the PC client. This allows control over the size of mail messages which can be sent by the PC client.
8-1
8. E-MAIL BY PC
8.1.2
E-mail restrictions
The Inmarsat C e-mail system has restrictions not found on the land-based e-mail system. Further there are some restrictions which apply to the FELCOM 15.
Use 7-bit characters in the Subject field, text and attachment. Some LES may not use 8-bit characters (Japanese, etc). Since most LES use 7-bit characters in the header, 8-bit characters may not be properly received. US-ASCII characters
Space ! # $ % & ( ) * + , . / 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; < = > ? @ A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z [ ] _ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~
The maximum number of simultaneous transmissions is 32. Any simultaneous transmission in excess of that amount will not be sent. When transmitting, wait until the message Successful Sending message. appears before transmitting another message. The maximum number of characters available for the Subject field is 60. The maximum number of characters per line is 1000. Characters in excess of 1000 will not be transmitted. Use maximum 1000 character per line. The maximum number of multiple addressees is 10. Any number in excess of that amount will not be transmitted. Destination cannot be specified as Bcc:. Bcc: is automatically changed to Cc: because Bcc is not used in Inmarsat C. Set the encoding format on the PCs e-mail client to BASE64.
8.1.3
E-mail precautions
Confirm the port chosen to output received messages from the FELCOM 15. Set Message Output Port on the System Setup menu to INT or INT+EXT. Set the mail format at the e-mail client for Text. HTML increases communication charges because of its large size. The FELCOM 15 does not have account management functions, for example, multiple accounts. All received and transmitted messages (incl. those on a LAN) are saved to the communications log. The log may be printed in real time or when desired. Sending and receiving stations should use the same font to read each others messages. Use of different fonts may result in unreadable characters.
8-2
8. E-MAIL BY PC
When a file with an attachment is transmitted from land, the LES (e-mail service provider) separately forwards the file and attachment to the intended MES. The file name for the attachment as received at the FELCOM 15 is ATTACH.DAT. For that reason request that land-based e-mail with attachment contain the attachment file name in the text of the message. File and accompanying attachment are sent separately regardless of the delivery address specified with the auto delivery keyword. The message file is delivered according to the auto delivery keyword setting and the attachment goes to the Mail Address set on Mail Gateway.

MAINTENANCE, TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter provides the information necessary for the maintenance and checking of the FELCOM 15. Please review the safety information at the beginning of this manual before attempting any maintenance procedures.
9.1
General Checking and Maintenance

Turn off the power before conducting any maintenance procedures other than the cleaning of the terminal unit.
NOTICE
Do not apply paint, anti-corrosive sealant or contact spray to coating or plastic parts of the equipment. Those items contain organic solvents that can damage coating and plastic parts, especially plastic connectors.
Cleaning the terminal unit Wipe the LCD carefully to prevent scratching, using tissue paper and an LCD cleaner. To remove dirt or salt deposits, use an LCD cleaner, wiping slowly with tissue paper so as to dissolve the dirt or salt. Change paper frequently so the salt or dirt will not scratch the LCD. Do not use solvents such as thinner, acetone or benzine for cleaning; they can remove paint and marks or deform the equipment. Checking connectors and earth terminal Check that the connectors and earth terminal on the terminal unit are tightly fastened. If the copper strap (earth material) has rusted, clean it. Floppy disk drive head The floppy disk is coated with a magnetic material which stores the information entered into the disk. If this material is damaged by foreign material adhering to the disk drive head it may not be possible to read from or write to the disk. Clean the head regularly with a cleaning floppy disk to prevent loss of data. When the power cant be turned on When the terminal unit cannot be turned on do the following:
Check that the power cable connector on the rear panel of the terminal unit for tightness. Check if the ships mains switchboard is turned on. Have a qualified technician check the power voltage at the power connector on the rear of the terminal unit.

Parts List
This equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practical (IMO A.694(17)/8.3.1. Only some discrete components are used. FURUNO Electric Co., Ltd. believes identifying these components is of no value for shipboard maintenance; therefore, they are not listed in the manual. Major modules can be located on the parts location photos on the next several pages.
