Introduction

INMARSAT-C SYSTEM

This chapter provides an overview of the Inmarsat-C satellite communication system.

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.

¡FleetNET

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.

Inmarsat System Configuration

Figure 2 Inmarsat-C satellite communication system

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

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.

NCS common channel The NCS has two major functions:

1) T ransmitting information on a common channel.

2) T ransmitting EGC messages to MESs.

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 ex-

changes data between MESs operating in different ocean regions.

MES interface The MES consists of the Data Circuit

T erminating 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 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

Types of MES

There are three types of MES: class 1, class 2 and class 3. The FELCOM 12 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 opera-

tion as an EGC receiver when not transmitting or receiving.

2) EGC-only receiver

Class 3 The function of class 1 plus simulta-

neous 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 DMC-

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.

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.

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 FF A version is active, vessel is automatically logged

in when the power is turned on.

EGC Settings

What is the EGC (Enhanced Group Call) service?

The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNET

or FleetNETTM messages via a LES to select groups of

ships, or to all ships within a defined geographical area. T o send an EGC message, the information provider prepares the mes-

sage, 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) SafetyNET

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) FleetNET

This service allows authorized information providers such as commercial subscription services, shipping companies and governments, which have registered with a LES that supports FleetNET Typical applications of FleetNET

, to broadcast messages to selected group of MESs.

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 registra-

tion

There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code and message with both addressee code and password.

When a FELCOM 12 receives a confidential message, the message is not displayed and printed immediately . T o display or print the contents of a confidential message, the recipient executes the key sequences shown on page 4-23.

Explanation of addressee code and password

Caller and recipient agree beforehand on both the addressee code and the password. The addressee code can be the title of the recipient; for example, CAPT AIN. The password could be the classification of the message; for example, SECRET.

Preparing message with addressee code Type S, 3 question marks, hyphen, addressee code, colon followed

by text of message.

Be sure to enter colon.

Transmitting

INMARSAT -C COMMUNICATIONS

This chapter explains how to transmit and receive in the Inmarsat-C system.

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.

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 IT A2. 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.
