Introduction
FURUNO Electric Company thanks you for considering and purchasing the
FELCOM 16 Inmarsat Mini-C Mobile Earth Station. We are confident you will
discover why the FURUNO name has become synonymous with quality and
reliability.
The FELCOM 16 mainly consists of a communication unit and an antenna unit.
Connected to a PC (local supply), the FELCOM 16 provides a wide range of
communication services, such as e-mail and telex, for mobile and fixed terrestrial
subscribers in the Inmarsat C communication network. Its compact size permits
installation where space is limited.
FURUNO designs and manufactures this equipment with much attention to
operation and maintenance simplicity. However, please read and follow the
recommended procedures for operation and maintenance to get the most out of
the equipment.
This manual provides a brief introduction to the Inmarsat C system (pages ix thru
xiv). For more detailed information, refer to the information below.

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 may 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 16 to receive
the following types of messages, broadcast by LESs:
• SafetyNET
distribute maritime safety information to ships within selected areas.
• FleetNET
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.
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
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.
Inmarsat system satellites

AOR-East Inmarsat 3, F2 15.5°W
IOR Inmarsat 3, F1 64.0°E
POR Inmarsat 3, 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 LESs provide the link
between the MES and the terrestrial telecommunications networks via satellite.

Once the equipment is initialized, you need do no more than press a few keys to
transmit and receive.
Inmarsat assigns an MES an Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN) when it applies for
Inmarsat registration and it is entered during the installation of the MES. The
IMN is necessary to communicate in the Inmarsat system.

2.3 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 or receive EGC messages even if you are not logged
in.
If you will not be using the FELCOM 16 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 don’t receive the message.

2.4 EGC Settings
2.4.1 What is the EGC (Enhanced Group Call) service?
The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNETTM,
TM
FleetNET
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.)

3. FILE OPERATIONS
This chapter describes how to prepare, edit, save and print files (messages).
3.1 Files and Working Areas
To create a new message it is necessary to open a new file. After a new file is
opened, one of two working areas in the internal memory is secured to create
the message. The term “open a file” also refers to the loading of a prepared file
into a working area.
When you remove a file from a working area this is called “closing a file.”

4. To transmit the message you have just prepared, go to paragraph 4.1.2. To
save it to the hard disk, for future transmission, go to paragraph 3.3.
Page 73
3.2.2 Preparing a confidential file
If communicating with another FURUNO FELCOM, 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.
There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code
and message with both addressee code and password.
When the FELCOM 16 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
3. FILE OPERATIONS
Type the addressee code as shown in the illustration below and then type the
text of message.
Be sure to enter colon.

4. 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 an LES
which provides such services. Further it is necessary to register with an LES
which provides e-mail services in order to send e-mail from a land subscriber to
the FELCOM 16. For further details contact an 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 you’ve just prepared or one stored on the hard disk.
(Messages cannot be transmitted by direct keyboard input.)
4.1.1 Code description
Code can be specified at the terminal unit according to data type.
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 the question mark
(?).
DATA: Data (8 bit). Use this code to transmit data.

4.1.2 Transmitting prepared message
This section explains how to transmit a message you have just prepared. For
code number services, see the table in paragraph 4.1.6.

1. Prepare message on the screen. For e-mail or SMS, set Text Mode in the
Editor Setup menu to Ascii. See paragraph 3.2.3. For e-mail attachment,
