Land Earth Stations (LES)

Inmarsat Service Providers (ISPs) operate Land Earth Stations (LES). The ISPs are typically public telephone companies of the country where the LES is located.

Using satellite communications antenna and up-anddownlink communications equipment, the LES converts the space segment to a format compatible with public and private telephone and data networks.

Each satellite is associated with a number of Land Earth Stations that fall within its coverage.

Mobile Earth Stations (MES)

The Mobile Earth Station (MES) provides ISDN service over the Satellite network similar to the ISDN services installed by telecommunications companies for land-based data communication.

The HSD Aeronautical Transceiver acts as a Mobile Earth Station providing the connection to the Inmarsat Swift64 service.

Figure 2 shows the basic connection between the MES, Satellite, LES, and land network connections.

About ISDN

ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a digital telecommunications technology that provides Internet, voice, fax, video, and data services.

ISDN is digital, which allows for greater speed, flexibility (supports a broad range of applications), and reliability.

Accessing the Internet using ISDN

To access the Internet using ISDN service, the user needs to:

• Establish a connection to the Internet through Dial-up Networking using a terminal adapter or router to connect to the Internet Service Provider

• Run a Web browser to access Web sites

HSD Aeronautical Transceivers

ISDN components

The components required for ISDN service over the satellite network are listed below:

• Euro ISDN terminal adapter or router

• Euro ISDN line

• ISDN Service Provider account

• Computer

• Dial-up Networking capabilities

• Web browser

The three main components required for ISDN service (terminal adapters, ISDN lines, and ISDN protocols) are described in the following sections.

Although routers are also an interface option, only an example set-up using a terminal adapter is described in this User’s Guide.

Terminal adapters—ISDN devices

Terminal adapters are ISDN devices that function similarly to a modem.; they dial and answers calls, and receive and transmit data.

Use a Euro S/T ISDN model terminal adapter with the HSD Aeronautical Transceiver. Inmarsat Swift64 service and the HSD Aeronautical Transceivers do not support the North American ISDN variant.

ISDN protocols

Terminal adapters use ISDN protocols to format data between the ISDN line and the user’s computer.

HSD Transceivers support all ISDN protocols that run over a B channel on an ISDN line. These protocols are implemented and configured through the user’s operating system.

User’s Guide EMS-MN-1110-10048

Performance considerations of satellite ISDN

The transmission of data over satellite networks differs from land-based ISDN applications. Satellite communications experience factors such as transit delay and bit errors caused by signal fading and blockages.

ISDN protocols are designed specifically for ground-based ISDN networks. Performance of different ISDN protocols varies depending on the properties of each application.

Because of these challenges, it is sometimes necessary to optimize the system to achieve peak performance over the satellite network.

Optimizing ISDN protocols for satellite networks

ISDN protocols are not designed specifically for use over satellite communication networks. To improve data transfer rates most ISDN protocols require minor adjustments.

For best results, consider how the ISDN protocol you intend on using sends data over the network and adjust the configuration taking into account the unique operating environment of satellite network communication.

As examples, consider the ISDN protocols TCP/IP over PPP and V.120.

As a basic protocol, PPP is typically operated under the networking protocol TCP/IP. PPP has error checking properties but does not offer flow control. TCP/IP is flexible and designed to run over different networks including the Internet which like satellite networks experiences high transit delays. Used together, PPP and TCP/IP protocols perform well over the Inmarsat ISDN service.

The protocol V.120 includes error correction and flow control applications. Flow control limits or fixes the amount of data that can be in transit at any one time and waits for acknowledgment of receipt from the other end of the connection before sending more data.

any third party other than the recipient organization, without the prior written permission of EMS Technologies Canada, Ltd.

HSD Aeronautical Transceivers

The default parameters of V.120 limit the maximum transit size of the data package to approximately 1764 bytes causing poor performance results over satellite ISDN networks.

Improve the performance of V.120 over satellite ISDN by changing the default parameters. Increase the maximum size of data allowed in transit at one time to a value up to approximately 8000 bytes. (Some applications of V.120 permit the user to change the ‘window-size’ just for this purpose.)

When choosing an ISDN protocol for satellite ISDN networks consider a flexible solution that allows for modifications to the operating parameters to suit the unique environment of satellite ISDN.

System performance also depends on which operating system you are using. At the time of printing, Windows 2000 is recommended for optimal performance.

For more details, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

User’s Guide EMS-MN-1110-10048

Activating service

Once registration is complete, your HSD Aeronautical Transceiver is assigned a Forward ID number—one for each channel card installed. These numbers act as ‘aircraft telephone numbers’.

Each Forward ID is assigned INMARSAT Mobile Numbers (IMN). A different IMN is assigned to each type of communication service supported by Inmarsat Swift64 (speech, 3.1k audio, 56k data, and 64k data, and 4.8 k). Two-channel systems are therefore assigned two IMNs for each service type.

Each service type also has a Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) associated with it. The MSNs are programmed into the terminal adapter or other routing device. They serve to identify the service type requested on outgoing calls and to recognize and route incoming calls to the appropriate system device (telephone, fax, or computer).

Dial code prefixes are also associated with each type of service. Although the HSD Transceiver automatically selects the appropriate service, these dial code prefixes are used to override defaulted service types on a call-by-call basis.

Table 1 shows the factory default assignments associated with each service—as defined by the HSD Transceiver’s channel card.

When connecting external devices to the HSD Transceiver, ensure that the service type required by the device has been configured (or assigned) the correct setting.

Speech, 3.1k audio, 56 k data, and 64 k data are typically assigned 9-digit IMNs that begin with 60. Low-speed (4.8 k) voice is assigned a 9-digit IMN beginning with the digits 76.

Low-speed (4.8 k) is an inexpensive service option for placing voice calls—but it provides lower audio quality.

Both low-speed voice and 64 k speech calls use the MSN of 40; however, they are assigned different IMNs.

To select low-speed voice for outbound calls, use the dial code prefix ¿80 ¿. The default service type for outbound calls (if no dial code prefix is used) is 64 k voice.

Operating considerations

The following section provides information on operating considerations that apply to HSD Transceivers.

Satellite transitions

The satellite beam used by the HSD transceiver changes as the aircraft moves from region to region at approximately the following coordinates:

• AORW (54°W) to AORE (15.5°W) at 34.75°W

• AORE (15.5°W) to IOR (64.5°E) at 24.5°E

• IOR (64.5°E) to POR (178°E) at 121.5°E

• POR (178°E) to AORW (54°W) at 118°W

Calls in progress (longer than ten minutes in duration) during beam crossover and satellite hand-off are terminated. Your connection needs to be re-established once the beam crossover and satellite hand-off are complete.

Satellite communications

Satellite communications have unique operating considerations:

• Communication, audio background-noise varies depending on the quality of the aircraft's sound insulation and handset quality

• Satellite communications experience a slight delay during two-way communication

HSD Aeronautical Transceivers

Setting up

HSD Transceivers provide a transmission link from the aircraft to the satellite network. This data link is compatible with a range of devices and operating systems providing the user with choice and flexibility in customizing their system.

This section provides general guidelines and instructions for a basic, system set-up only.

Consult the user manuals or help files of the devices and operating system installed in your onboard network for more system-specific instructions.

ISDN data call requirements

The following equipment is required to make an ISDN connection using a HSD Transceiver:

• Computer

• Euro ISDN terminal adapter with an RJ-45

connector (standard ISDN connector)

• RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable (ISDN cable)

• Details of your Internet Service Provider: ISDN

and International dial-up access, Dial-up number, account name (User ID), and password

Another set-up option is to use a router instead of a terminal adapter.

Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate system setup options.

Bonded calls (two-channel systems only)

Bonded calls are possible with HSD transceivers that have two channel cards installed. Bonded calls utilize both 64 k channels to provide a single 128 k data channel. The terminal adapter or router places two separate calls to combine the data transfer over both channels.

Although bonded calls provide a single 128 k channel, the actual link capacity is application and protocol dependant. Typical throughput on a Multilink PPP TCP/IP connection is only 80 to 90 % of the link capacity (running Windows

2000).

The system can only make bonded calls if both channels are available. If another device is using one of the B Channels, then the data call proceeds—but as a single channel call.

If a bonded call is in progress, (using both B channels) the system is busy and denies all other calls until a channel is free.

HSD Aeronautical Transceivers

Powering up HSD transceivers

HSD aeronautical transceivers are typically powered up when the aircraft crew activates the avionics systems.

System readiness

HSD transceivers need Inertial Reference System (IRS) navigational data to operate. The avionics systems must be powered on and warmed up before the HSD is system-ready.

With all avionics systems ready, HSD transceivers only require a minute to warm-up. Dial tone, heard through a handset, indicates that the HSD transceiver is ready for use.

HSD transceivers automatically perform the following functions:

• Select a satellite

• Select a Spot Beam

• Select a Land Earth Station (LES)

• Log-on (register)

• Control satellite and Spot Beam handovers

User’s Guide EMS-MN-1110-10048

User interfaces

HSD Aeronautical transceivers connect to a variety of interface options. The physical interface is EURO S/T, which supports several types of connections to user equipment.

Terminal adapters and routers must be EURO ISDN S/T models.

HSD transceivers provide either one or two ISDN S Bus interfaces (depending on which model and service mode is installed).

Each Bus is capable of hosting up to eight, EURO ISDN devices—which means a two-channel system supports connections to up to sixteen, EURO ISDN devices.

Each channel card provides one, 64 k B channel that is available to either ISDN Bus. If the channel (or channels) is “busy” or “in-call”, the request for service is denied (the system is busy).

For ISDN data devices that support bonding and are connected to a two-channel card HSD transceiver, the device will attempt to use both B channels to increase data throughput as long as no other devices are “in call”. (See the section Bonded calls (two-channel systems only.)

Figure 3 and Figure 4 illustrate a variety of interface options. Each system set-up configures to meet specific user needs.

Configuring a terminal adapter

This section provides basic instructions on how to configure a terminal adapter.

Various combinations of operating systems, equipment models, and configurations are possible; therefore, consider the following procedure as a guideline only.

Important: Ensure that you are using a EURO ISDN model—

not

a North American model.

To configure a Terminal Adapter:

1. Select EURO ISDN as your switch type.

2. Select an ISDN protocol. It should be the same at both ends of the connection. (Contact your service provider for the appropriate protocol.)

3. Enter both the Directory Number (DN) and Service Provider ID (SPID) provided by your Internet Service Provider (IPS).

4. Enable the phone ports that you are using, and if necessary assign each port a Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) number. (See Table 2 for default settings.)

The terminal adapter uses the MSN numbers to identify outgoing calls, and to recognize and route incoming calls to the appropriate device.

It is possible to have multiple devices on the ISDN line. Each service type has a MSN associated with it. The MSN defaults, as defined in the HSD transceiver channel card(s), are listed in Table 2 ISDN default MSN settings.

HSD Aeronautical Transceivers

To configure a Terminal Adapter for bonded calls (two-channel systems only):

If the HSD Transceiver has two channel cards, bonded calls provide the potential for higher throughput. For bonded calls, configure the terminal adapter and connections to use Multilink PPP as the protocol.

The system can only make bonded calls if both channels are available. If another device is using one of the B Channels, then the data call proceeds—but as a single channel call.

If a bonded call is in progress, (using both B channels) the system is busy and denies all other calls until a channel is free.

The following is an example configuration for bonded calls using a DIVA Terminal Adapter. Other manufacturer’s terminal adapters or if used routers may require different or more complex configurations to configure the system for bonded calls.

1. Using Hyperterm, connect to the DIVA T/A ISDN modem.

2. Type AT@MENU.

The following screen appears.

HSD Aeronautical Transceivers

Voice calling overview

Placing voice calls from the aircraft to the ground is similar to placing an international telephone call. Air-to-ground calls need to include the following codes:

• An international access code (The international

access code for all airborne equipment is 00. For ground-to-air calls, use the international code of the location the call is originating from.)

• The country code of your call destination

• The area code and city code (if applicable) of

your call destination

Before making calls, make sure that the HSD transceiver system is ready. Pick up the handset and listen for dial tone. Dial tone indicates that the system is ready.

Satellite calls take longer than normal ground communications to complete—expect a short delay before your call rings through (approximately 30 seconds).

To complete or ‘send’ your call, you must end your dialing sequence by pressing the pound key #. Pressing # signals the system to send your call.

NOTE:

• Always remember to complete your

dialing sequence by pressing #. This sends your call.

• After a call is terminated, wait for the

system to ‘clear down’ before placing new calls (approximately 30 seconds).

Dialing sequence explanation

The following diagram explains the different components of a typical dialing sequence required when placing voice and fax calls from air-to-ground using a HSD Transceiver. The components are described as follows:

• The Fax Call Prefix is only used when sending

fax. The prefix indicates to the system the type of service being requested.

• The International Code of [00] is required for all

calls from the aircraft.

• The Country Code, Area Code or City Code, and

Telephone or Fax Number are dialed the same as ground-based calls.

• The pound key [#] must be included at the end of

the dialing string to initiate (send) the call.

Optimizing your system

The data rate performance varies due to the following factors:

• Satellite system or Internet congestion

• Satellite communication properties (high transit

delays)

For best results:

• Optimize both ends of the connection

• Ensure that the protocol settings are identical on

both ends of your connection

• Choose TCP/IP run over PPP as your protocol

• Use Windows 2000 as an operating system

• Check your modem manufacturer’s

configuration guidelines—changing the default settings (e.g. window size) may improve data transfer rates
