2. Introduction
2.1. The Inmarsat Aero Service
2.1.1. Overview
The Inmarsat Swift64 (also called High Speed Data or
HSD) and H+ services are based on 4 Geo-stationary 3rd
generation satellites situated above the equator. Geo-
stationary means that the satellites are always located
in the same position, i.e. they rotate at the same speed
as that of the earth. Each satellite covers a certain area
(footprint) and supports a number of powerful spot-
beams making the service available in virtually all ocean
regions on the earth between approximately 70°N and
70°S.
Note: the ISDN and MPDS services are only available on
Aero-HSD+ systems when the aircraft is positioned inside
an area with Spot Beam coverage.
The 4 Geo-Stationary Inmarsat Satellites
The satellites are your connection to the worldwide
networks, and they are managed by the Network Co-
ordination Stations (NCSs), run by Inmarsat. The primary
![](/img.php?id=411704&img=bgc.png)
Introduction The Inmarsat Aero Service
12 Dec 2003
2
functions of the NCSs are to constantly keep track of
which terminals are logged on to the system, and assign
a free channel when a call is made.
The gateway between the public network and the
satellites is operated by Land Earth Stations (LES) for
the high speed data communication or Ground Earth
Stations (GES) for the global voice, fax and PC modem
data capabilities. The LES and GES are run by different
operators around the world.
The services supported by the Inmarsat Fleet comprise:
• High speed services (64 kbit/s)
• 64 kbit/s universal data
• 56 kbit/s data
• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• MPDS (Mobile Packet Data Service)
• Low speed services (2.4 kbit/s)
• Voice
• Fax
• Data
• Packet Data Channel
For a more detailed explanation of the services, please
refer to the section Service Explanation on page 14.

The above mentioned services allow for a wide range of
applications. Examples are shown below.
Important notice: Before a terminal can be used on the
network, it has to be commissioned by one of the
Inmarsat Service Providers (ISPs). For further information

2.1.2. Service Explanation
The H+ services have a lower tariff than the high speed
services, which are high quality audio or high speed data
services and thus require more bandwidth.
High Speed Services
The 64 kbit/s UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information)
service enables the bi-directional transmission of data to
and from terrestrial 64 kbit/s ISDN and MPDS networks.
The 56 kbit/s DATA service is similarly used to make a
connection to 56 kbit/s ISDN networks, which are
primarily used in North America.
The Speech and 3.1 kHz audio services make it possible
to establish high quality analogue connections with
quality equal to terrestrial analogue connections via
digital networks/switches. The Speech service is used for
high quality voice connections, whereas 3.1 kHz audio
can be used to transfer analogue signals between fax
machines and modems with an analogue 2-wire
interface. The 3.1 kHz audio service is transparent, and is
suitable for all analogue applications including secure
telephones.
The MPDS service is a packet data service where the
tariff depends on the amount of data transmitted. This
service is a more cost-effective solution for web
browsing, and other applications where there is no need
for constant transmission of data in both directions. It is
also suitable for applications where a constant
connection is required, because the user is no longer
charged the “per minute rate”.

The Inmarsat Aero Service Introduction

H+ Services
The H+ service supports near terrestrial-quality Voice at
4.8 kbit/s, over two different physical channels in both
global- and spot beam. This means that the user is able
to have 2 voice connections up at all times. This can be
two incoming, two outgoing or one incoming and one
outgoing connection. This service is less expensive than
an ISDN connection, with only a small cost in voice-
quality.
Besides using the two voice-channels for voice, one or
both of the channels can be used for a modem or fax
connection. In both circumstances, the maximum bit rate
is 2.4kbit/s. The fax or modem can be connected to the
two-wire interface. If a fax or modem uses a channel,
this channel cannot be used for voice at the same time.
H+ also provides a low speed packet data mode, which
allows data transfers at up to 1.2 kbit/s. This service can
be used by an AFIS, ACARS or CMU to send data over the
satellite link.

When the display shows “Ready”, the system is ready to
use.
The H+ LED indicates that H+ services are logged on,
and the HSD LED indicates that HSD services are logged
on.
Note: If the system does not log on automatically, the
reason may be that the Logon policy is set to User
Demand. In this case you have to log on using the Logon
menu. For further information, see Logon Menu on page
66.
3.1.2. To Power off the System
The system is automatically powered off along with the
aircraft.
Some aircrafts are provided with a “SatCom on/off”
button, which can be used to power off the system while
the aircraft is powered.
If the aircraft does not provide a “SatCom on/off” button,
you can use the circuit breaker to power off the system.

3.2. Pin Codes.
For some of the functionality of the terminals, access is
restricted by a pin code. Three different kinds of user pin
codes are used in the system:
• one pin code for the Normal user,
• one for the Super User and
• one for the Service Provider.
Common for all pin code types is that the length must be
between 4 and 8 digits and that they contain digits
between 0 and 9.
Normal User Pin code
The normal everyday user can make and receive calls,
access the phone book, choose an ocean region and a
default LES and GES, and read the alarm log and status.
A Normal User will typically be the day-to-day user of the
system. All additional setup has to be carried out by a
Super User or a Service Provider.
Super User Pin code
The Super User has the same rights as the Normal User.
In addition, the Super User can access certain super user
functions. A Super User will typically be a person
responsible for setting up and maintaining the system.
Service Provider Pin code
The Service Provider has access to all functionality
accessible through the handset.
Only Thrane & Thrane and/or the supplier of the
equipment normally know this pin code.

5. PC Connection
5.1. ISDN and MPDS Overview
Please note: ISDN and MPDS services are only
available on Aero-HSD+ systems when the aircraft is
positioned inside an area with Spot Beam coverage.
Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) and Integrated
Services Digital Network (ISDN) are both services that
enable the mobile user to connect to the Internet. The
maximum data transfer rate is 64 kbit/s.
The difference between the Mobile ISDN and MPDS is
that with Mobile ISDN you are charged for connection
time and with MPDS you are charged for Mbits
transferred. This means that for applications like Web
browsing, email services, IP/LAN connectivity and small to
medium size file transfer, the MPDS will be the most
economic and convenient solution.
While in MPDS or ISDN mode the terminal is flagged busy
in the Inmarsat network, i.e. it is not able to receive any
ISDN calls, until it returns to normal idle mode.
For information on how to set up the computer and
transceiver for an MPDS connection, see section 5.2.2
Setting up MPDS via Ethernet and PPPoE.
For information on how to set up the computer and
transceiver for an ISDN connection, see section 5.2.3

manufacturer’s installation guide for details on how to do
this. Connect the modem to the Aero-HSD+ system via an
ISDN cable. The appropriate modem driver must be
installed on the computer. See the manufacturer’s
installation guide for details on how to do this.
ISDN / MPDS Hardware Connection through Router
For an ISDN/MPDS connection through a router, connect

6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Overview
If case of a fault situation, first check that the H+ and/or
HSD LEDs are lit, and that the display reads “Ready”.
Also make sure that the transmission path is not
obstructed, e.g. by buildings if the aircraft is on the
ground.
The system is able to display various error codes to help
you troubleshoot the system. The following sections
provide an overview and a list of some of the error codes
you may see in the display.
If you need further assistance, please call the supplier of
the Aero-HSD+ System.

6.2. Error codes
If there is a fault, the type of fault and the fault code is
displayed in the Full Feature Handset. Where possible
the fault code is translated into plain text. Two types of
fault codes are defined:
• BITE errors
• Cause Codes
For a complete list of BITE error codes and Cause Codes,
please refer to the Installation and Maintenance Manual.
6.2.1. BITE Errors
A BITE error is a hardware error detected by the
automatic error detection system in the Aero-HSD+
system.
The red LED on the handset indicates the presence of a
fatal or essential BITE error.
A fatal BITE error means that you are logged off and
cannot log on again.
An essential BITE error means that the functions are
limited and one or more services are not available.
A non-essential BITE error means that there are minor
errors, but all services are still available. The red LED on
the handset will not indicate this type of error.
Please report any BITE errors to the Maintenance
Responsible.
When a BITE error is present, the display toggles
between the error code and the previous display
contents.
The BITE error is shown in the second line of the display.
A BITE error has a unique 4-characters BITE code.

You can also view any active BITE errors in the Status
menu under Active Error.
6.2.2. Cause Codes
A Cause Code describes a fault detected by the Earth
Station during a call.
The cause codes can help you find the reason for an
error. In most cases, errors are caused by a problem in
the satellite network.
The Cause Code is displayed in the handset for a few
seconds after the call is interrupted. If possible, the code
is translated into plain text instead of the Cause Code. A
Cause Code is a unique 4-characters code.
The following section shows a list of cause codes with an
explanation of the error message.

error codes. See the previous page for an explanation of
the two kinds of error codes.
