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 12 to receive the following types of messages, broadcast 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 12 allows you to make distress calls which 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. 5 Inmarsat System Configuration Figure 2 Inmarsat-C satellite communication system 6 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. Table 1 Inmarsat system satellites Region Satellite Satellite Position AOR-West Inmarsat-2, F4 54.0°W AOR-East Inmarsat-2, F2 15.5°W IOR Inmarsat-2, F1 64.5°E POR Inmarsat-2, F3 178.0°E 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. 7 8 Figure 3 Coverage area of satellites INMARSAT-2, F3 INMARSAT-2, F1 INMARSAT-2, F2 INMARSAT-2, F4 POR IOR AOR-EAST AOR-WEST SATELLITE NAME AREA 54.0° W 64.5° E 15.5° W 178° E POSITION Communications Network Figure 4 shows the Inmarsat-C communications network.

NCS/LES signalling 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. 9 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 communication unit. And the DTE consists of the terminal unit (or a PC), keyboard and printer. Terrestrial network interface 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 Types of MES There are three types of MES: class 1, class 2 and class 3. The FELCOM 12 is a class 2 MES. 10 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 a EGC-only receiver. Peripheral Equipment The following equipment can be additionally connected to the FELCOM 12. Distress/Urgent Receiving Unit (IC-303) The IC-303 releases an audible alarm and blinks the lamp when distress message is received. (Refer to page 4-26 for further details.) When an EGC distress or urgent message is received, with an aural alarm and blinking lamp. Distress Alert Unit (IC-302) The IC-302 enables transmission of the distress alert from a remote location; for example, ship’s bridge. (Refer to page 6-3 for more details.) Distress Message Controller (DMC-5:Option) The DMC provides for transmission and monitoring of the distress alert. For further details, refer to the operator’s manual of the DMC5. Inmarsat C Distress Message Controller DMC-5 Figure 5 Distress Message Controller system 11 This page is intentionally left blank. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW This chapter provides an overview of the FELCOM 12 system. The Communication Unit The communication unit is the heart of the FELCOM 12 system, transmitting and receiving messages and alerting you to equipment fault. On its front panel you should see the POWER switch and POWER lamp. Normally, the power is left on while underway. POWER Switch FURUNO POWER lamp INMARSAT- C MOBILE EARTH STATION POWER NAME PLATE Figure 1-1 Communication unit IC-212 Self test When the communication unit is turned on it conducts a series of self-tests to check itself for proper operation. When the audible alarm sounds The audible alarm sounds in the following circumstances: 1) EGC distress or urgent message is received. (To silence the alarm, press [ESC] followed by [F10].) 2) During the interval between the transmission of the distress alert (by own vessel) and the receiving of the distress acknowledge signal from LES. (The alarm automatically stops when your ship recives the distress acknowledge signal.) 3) The system status monitor detects equipment fault. (To silence the alarm, press any key.) The audible alarm sounds and the terminal unit displays which alarm is sounding. 1-1 The Terminal Unit The DTE may consist of IB-581 or IBM compatible pc. All operations are carried out from the terminal unit, through an easy-to-understand menu system. For personal computer connection a system disk (supplied) is required to boot up the computer. Opetarion by a computer is the same as with the terminal unit except when turning on the power. Power switch Floppy disk drive BRIGHT control CONTRAST control Figure 1-2 Terminal unit IB-581 To turn on/off the unit, press the POWER switch. Controls for adjustment of screen brilliance and contrast are to the right of the POWER switch. Floppy disk drive The terminal unit provides a floppy disk drive for storing transmitted and received messages on floppy disks. Floppy disk The floppy disk used with the system is a standard 3.5” floppy disk. Always leave a floppy disk inserted to save incoming messages. Terminal unit cannot print file from a floppy disk when there is not enough space remaining on the disk. In this case, replace disk with formatted disk. 1-2 Printer PP-510 (optional supply) The printer prints transmitted and received messages. The POWER switch is on the right side of the unit. A lamp on the switch lights when the power is on. If the paper is set correctly the ON LINE lamp also lights. When both these lamps are lit the printer is ready to print information received from the terminal unit. For further details, refer to the operator's manual of the PP-510.

Login and Logout Each time the DTE and communication unit are turned on register your vessel with the Inmarsat C system, to enable communications between your vessel and 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 the distress alert can be transmitted and EGC messages received regardless of whether you are logged in or not. If you will not be using the FELCOM 12 for a prolonged period you should logout from the Inmarsat C system, before turning off the power to the communication 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 never receive the message. Note: The communication unit should be idle (“Current State: IDLE” appears at the bottom of the screen) to login and logout. Note: When the FFA version is active, vessel is automatically logged in when the power is turned on. 2-7 Login 1. Confirm that “SYNC (NCS)” appears at the bottom of the screen. 2.

The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNETTM or FleetNETTM messages via a LES to select 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 Country of international telex network to send the message to the LES. The LES processes and forwards it to the NCS for the ocean region designated by the provider. Then, NCS broadcasts the message throughout the ocean region. Although all MESs can receive the EGC message, the message is accepted only by those 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 2-11 EGC setup The FELCOM 12 receives EGC messages directed to its present position and Navarea without further programming.

Before conducting any communications, be sure to login with the NCS in your area. To transmit E-mail, register with the LES provider. E-mail charges are calculated separately. Transmitting To transmit a message, you first create the message, attach the address of the recipient and send it to the LES. The address of the recipient in the Inmarsat-C system is his telex number for land-line or MES Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN) for ship. The message can be one you’ve just prepared or one stored on a floppy disk. (Messages cannot be transmitted by means of direct keyboard input.) Code description Code can be specified at the IB-581 or PC. 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 a question mark (?). DATA: Data (8 bit). Use this code to transmit data. 4-1 Table 4-1 Message, subscriber destination and code Message English Russian Japanese Data Subscriber Inmarsat C Sta.

The information provider adds the MES to the group which is to receive the service by downloading a Group Call ID, via a 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 can not 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 DTE, 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, then 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 [F4] to display EGC menu. 2.

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 data to your home office. No operator intervention is required during polling reception. Satellite Data report Message report Polling Mobile Earth Station Land Earth Station Subscriber Data Reporting Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at regular (preset) intervals from your ship to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and other data sent from a navigational equipment or an interface unit. The data transmitted from the FELCOM 12 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 12 or receiving a polling command from your home office. FELCOM 12 offers two types of data reporting as follows: ¡Data report --------- on MES signalling channel Refer to “Setting a data report” below. ¡Message report --- on MES message channel Refer to “Setting a message report” on page 5-4.

The data are position, speed, bearing and other data sent from a navigational equipment or an interface unit. A polling command from your home office can also activate data report or message report if the corresponding setting is completed on the FELCOM 12. If a polling command with a file name is received, the FELCOM 12 transmits the file to your home office. Polling command 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 vavies with land station. 5-6 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 12), 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 page 5-4.
