prevents all mobile-to-mobile calls.

• Dial from Book only, which restricts calls to the

numbers in Nera F33 Phone Book. It is still possible
to append: an entry with number field "0047" means
that it is possible to dial all Norwegian numbers.

Routing of incoming calls

When applying for IMN numbers, a Terminal Id
(OID/DID) is received from the Net service provider.

All devices connected to Nera F33 can make outgo­ing calls. For incoming calls it must be assured that
the Terminal Ids and MSN numbers configured are
as commissioned.

To make an incoming call reach a particular device,
an MSN number and the Terminal Id “connected” to
the IMN number must be programmed into the Main
Communication Unit (MCU). See later in this manual.

The table below lists valid MSN numbers for the
available services.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

Inmarsat GAN system/Fleet33

The Inmarsat Global Area Network service (GAN)
provides 4.8 kbps voice communications service and

9.6 kbps data transmission to and from mobile/fixed
subscribers anywhere within the worldwide coverage
of the Inmarsat 3 spot Beam system, see

Coverage Map in Getting Started.

The benefit of the INMARSAT system
is its high capacity, and the rapid and
reliable connection between the land
based (fixed) users and the Mobile
Earth Stations (MESs).

Each satellite region is under the
control of a Network Coordinating
Station (NCS), which controls and
monitors the traffic between the

MESs and the LESs.

Nera F33

USER MANUALUSER GUIDE

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONT’D

System satellites

The satellites are positioned in a geostationary orbit
above the equator at approximately 35700 km
altitude.

See figure.

In geostationary orbit, each satellite moves at the
same rate as the earth, and so remains in the same
relative position to the earth.

The satellites provide 99% landmass coverage.
Nera F33 can communicate via the four satellite

Ocean Regions:

AOR-W Atlantic Ocean West Region
AOR-E Atlantic Ocean East Region
IOR Indian Ocean Region
POR Pacific Ocean Region

For coverage area of the satellites for Nera F33, see

Satellite Coverage Map in Getting Started.

Transmission frequencies

The Inmarsat terminals operate in the following
frequency bands:

MES transmission frequencies:

1626.5 MHz - 1646.5 MHz
MES receiving frequencies:

1530.0 MHz - 1559.0 MHz

A large number of channels are available (20 kHz

communication.

Duplex communication uses two channel frequen­cies, one in each direction.

The LESs provide interface to the international
networks for telephony and data: PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Networks) and PSDN (Packet
Switched Data Networks).

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONT’D

Antenna search pattern

USER GUIDE

Azimuth sweep

A 360° rotation of the antenna in azimuth at a fixed
elevation angle.

Hemispheric search

A hemispheric search is constituted by azimuth
sweeps at elevation angles 5°, 25°, 45°, 65° and 85°.

The antenna searches on the NCS Common TDM
channel frequency (NCSC), initiated by the Nera F33
Main Communication Unit (MCU).

When finding the satellite signal, it completes the
hemispheric search and moves to the position where
the strongest signal was detected.

The Antenna reports back to the MCU for verification
of valid NCSC.

If no valid signal is detected, no further automatic
action occurs until the MCU initiates a new search.

A search request from the MCU may contain channel
frequency and an order to make a full 360° search at
a specific elevation, calculated from map and GPS
information. If no satellite is found, a hemispheric
search will be performed.

Tracking

At the end of a search, Nera F33 performs a fine­tuning of the antenna position around the strongest
detected signal. The fine-tuning is obtained by a
squinting function based on satlite signal quality.

USER MANUALUSER GUIDE

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONT’D

Net service provider

The Net service provider issues your user licence
and IMN (Inmarsat Mobile Number) phone numbers.
It is also responsible for the billing of calls (charges).

The Nera F33 may respond to individual IMN num­bers, giving the possibility to transfer a call directly to
each device attached to it.

Note! TermlD is a term that includes both Originating
Identity (OlD) and Destination Identity (DID).
The DID is used from LES to MES to identify the
service, whereas OlD is used from MES to LES to
identify the service.TermlD is used in this manual
because the DID and OlD have the same value.

Calls from Mobiles

See figure.

To make an outgoing call, you use a standard inter­national telephone number with the 00 prefix. The
MES automatically includes information to identify
itself and the particular device that originates.

System signalling

The LES uses the identifying information of the
attached device for billing purposes.
The MES transmits the dialing information on a
channel specially assigned by the NCS to the LES.
LES routes the call over the public telecommunica­tions networks to the intended destination. When the
called party responds, the call proceeds.

Call announcement from mobile to fixed:

The MES uses the Return Identity (RTNID) to com­municate with the LES. It uses the TermlD to identify
its IMN number and the service in use.

The attached equipment dials the number and
transmits its MSN number to the MES. The MES
routes the MSN to a TermlD.

LES checks that the RTNID is commissioned before
connecting the call to the fixed net.

Example of MES Translation Table

Calls from Mobiles

When the MES originates a call it starts
by sending a request to the LES.
This initial request for service contains
the MES Return ID and type of service.
Nera F33 incorporates a configuration
table that contains Terminal Id for every
device connected and type of service.

Nera F33

USER MANUALUSER GUIDE

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION CONT’D

Calls to Mobiles

See figure.

The Nera F33 terminal receives incoming calls via
the IMN phone numbers. IMN numbers are assigned
to the following ports by the user:

• ISDN ports

• RS-232 serial data ports

• RS-422 serial data port

• USB serial data port

Calls are made as ordinary international (Satellite)
calls by dialing the international prefix (normally 00)
followed by 870 and the IMN number, e.g.:
00 870 762420510.

The common Ocean Region access no. 870 con­nects the call to the dialed Nera F33 regardless of
the Ocean Region the user currently communicates
through.

If the Net service provider does not support access
no. 870, call the Ocean Region directly:

871 – AOR-E (Atlantic Ocean Region East)
872 – POR (Pacific Ocean Region)
873 – IOR (Indian Ocean Region)
874 – AOR-W (Atlantic Ocean Region West)

Call announcement from fixed to mobile:

The LES uses the MES’s Forward Identity (FWID) to
communicate with the MES, and the Terminal Identity
(TermlD) to identify the IMN number and the service
in use.

The FWID together with the TermlD replaces the
need of the IMN number to be transmitted through
the Inmarsat system in order to identify the MES and
the specific equipment attached to it. This means
that LES routes an IMN number received from the
fixed net to the specific FWID and TermlD identifying
the MES.

The MES identifies the FWID and the TermID and
routes it to a Mobile Subscriber Number (MSN)
which is programmed in the attached equipment.
Nera provides a table to identify which TermlD is
routed to an MSN.

Example of MES Translation Table

When requested to call a specific IMN, LES
translates the IMN to a Terminal Id.
The request is then sent to the MES which
translates the Terminal Id to an MSN number.

Term.Id

To "connect" a Terminal Id to a physical line, Nera
F33 incorporates a translation table. This table
can contain up to 100 Id translations, and each
Terminal Id in use is programmed with type of call
and destination.

A call is not allowed to be routed to a device that
is configured to another type than the Terminal Id
specifies. A telephone Terminal Id can only be
routed to a phone type device. A telefax Terminal
Id can only be routed to a fax device.
