In case a ship is being attacked by pirates or terrorists the crew
needs a possibility to send a silent alert message to a predefined
alert centre. It should be possible to activate the alert (via an alert
button) from the navigation bridge and in at least one other location.
Via the alert message the alert centre knows that the ship is being
attacked and what the ship’s position is . Immediate action can be
taken to save the ship and the crew.
When the alert is activated an SMS will be sent from the SSAS
system to a predefined SMS number or Email address. The test
button will light green when the alert is active. Green is perceived as
OK and will not indicate alert or danger.
The alert message will be sent continuously until it is reset either by
the ship’s crew or from land. The alert can be deactivated from land
by sending a reset SMS message back to the ship.
Only in US SMS messages can be send to a cellular phone. In the
rest of the world SMS messages can only be send between Iridium
satellite phones.
The ship owner is responsible for setting up a security plan in which
he specifies who shall receive the alert message and who is to be
contacted.
The H4122 SSAS system consists of a SSAS control box including
test and alert buttons. The H4122 SSAS system is an add-on
solution to our Iridium Transceiver Unit.
The system allows the user to use the Iridium Transceiver for normal
speech and data transmission.
Iridium System
Iridium Satellite System
E-mail, SMS
Iridium Gateway
The system has full global radio coverage. Covers A1, A2, A3 and A4
areas.
The Iridium SSAS Box will send an alert SMS/Email when the alert
button is pressed for more than 2 seconds. The Iridium SSAS Box
controls the Iridium Transceiver via standard AT commands.
The SSAS control unit supports a Iridium Tracking System (ITS). Via
SMS or Email the shipowner will be able to follow the position of the
ship. On an ITS request the system will send a pre-configured
message to the recipient (shipowner) containing the latest position
information, which the SSAS control unit retrieves from the GPS. The
SSAS control unit can be set to automatically sending ITS messages
continuously at a predetermined time interval or/and it can send a
position upon a request from an incoming message with the correct
password for ITS requesting.
The LAN interface on the Iridium SSAS Box supports the connection
of a service PC for configuring the Iridium SSAS Box. On the Iridium
SSAS Box there is an HTTP server, which holds the configuration
pages made in HTML. The configuration can be used to:
- Set up Alert parameters (Email or SMS address of recipients
plus choose light indicator behaviour)
- Read status log of incoming alert resets
- Download new software to the Iridium SSAS Box
- Download new HTML pages for the configuration

How to use the SSAS
Normal mode
In normal mode the system is in stand-by. It is possible to use the
Iridium transceiver for normal usage (voice or data).
Data applications on a PC can be used by connecting the data cable to
the PC port on the Iridium SSAS Box. See “Connecting a PC”.
Power on indication
When the power is connected to the Iridium SSAS Box the system
will initialise and the green light indicator will turn on. This light
indicator is also used for error indication in case there is no connection to the Iridium transceiver or the GPS. See “Trouble shooting”.
Test button light indication
The test button can be used as indicator for the alert status of the
Iridium SSAS Box.
The behaviour of the test button can be set in 3 different modes:
NORMAL
INVERTED
OFF Turns the light off permanently
It is recommended to use the NORMAL setting.
Iridium Trac king System
The ITS can be active in normal mode. See “Iridium Tracking
System”.
Alert mode
Per default the light in the test button is off in normal mode
and turns on when an alert is active
The light will be constantly on i n normal mode and turns off
when the alert is activated
Notice:
It is possible to send alert messages and make a voice call at the
same time but a data call will be interrupted when an alert is activated.
The contents of the message are shown in table 1.
are count ry c ode )
decimals
Table 1
Activating the alert
Press one of the alert buttons and hold it for minimum 2 seconds.
After 2 seconds the button will light up and the button can be
released. Only the button, which is pressed, will light up.
The light in the test button will now turn on constantly and the unit is
in alert mode.
An alert message is sent immediately after pressing the alert button.
Alert messages will be sent periodically until they are reset. The time
between the messages can be set from 1x5 minutes to 255x5
minutes. The setting is made at the configuration page.
The message will be sent to all the predefined recipients listed in the
configuration.
When an alert message is sent the SMS messages stored on the
0424
*) The message code is fixed and will tell the recipients that this is
an alert.
**) Each message gets a successive sequence number, which
makes it possible to track the ship’s route. The counter counts to
99 and starts over again counting from 1.
The actual SMS body of the examples in the above template will be:
SECURITYALERT,01,Karaboudjan,MMSI041123456,IMO1234567,
POS12258.85,W,3722.42,N,TIME221008,DATE141103,COG274,
SOG08.4,ECI H4122

Deactivating the alert
The alert can be deactivated in two ways.
Either by pressing the test button or by sending an SMS message to
the system.
Press the test button to deactivate the alert
The green light will turn off when the alert is deactivated.
A message will be send to the recipients that the alert has been
deactivated and the system is back to normal mode.
Normal mode message:
NORMALMODE,<Shipname>,MMSI<number>,IMO<number>
Send an SMS to deactivate the alert
Send an SMS or Email to the Iridium Transceiver using the phone
number on the SIM card. The SMS or Email message shall contain
the following:
ALARMRESET,<PASSWORD>
Where the password is an 1 to 8 digit code free of choice. The
password is set at the configuration page. Use capital letters.
Example:
ALARMRESET,99887766
You can send the message in three ways:
1. Send an SMS from another Iridium transceiver, which has
either SMS service in the handset or via a PC with the
EuroCom Industries SMS Client installed.
2. Or send an SMS from Iridium satellites homepage on the
internet www.iridium.com. Chose “Send a Satellite Messages” and enter the phone number and the reset message.
3. Or send an Email from any Email client (like Outlook) by
entering the Iridium phone number into the following generic
address, 8816[number]@msg.iridium.com. Enter the reset
message in the text field.
When the SSAS unit receives the reset message with a valid
password the SSAS unit will go back to normal mode and send a
normal mode message to confirm the alert deactivation. The normal
mode message will be sent to all the recipients who got the alert
message.
Test mode
The test mode is used to check that the system is working properly.
The test message will contain the same information as the alert
message (table 1). The only difference is the message code
“TESTALERT” at the beginning of the messages.
Test messages will be send only to the recipients listed in the
configuration setup page.
“TESTALERT,MESSAGE_NUMBER,SHIPNAME,MMSI_number,
IMO_number,POSITION,TIME,DATE,COURSE_OVER_GROUND
,SPEED_OVER_GROUND,ECI H4122”
When the test button is pressed the Iridium SSAS Box will send 2
test messages. When the last test message is sent the Iridium SSAS
Box will go back to normal mode and send a normal mode message.
The time between the 2 test messages can be set from 5 minutes to
30 minutes in intervals of 5. The setting is done at the configuration
page.
Before running the test procedure all communication to the PC port
must be stopped since the PC data application will occupy the data
bus to the Iridium transceiver.
Test procedure
1. Press the test button.
2. The green light in the test button is flashing for 10 seconds
(the test can be stopped within these 10 seconds by
pressing the test button again).
3. The green light lights constantly and the first test message is
sent.
4. Delay (according to the setting in the configuration page).
5. The second and final message is sent.
6. The green light is flashing for 10 seconds and turns off.
7. The Iridium SSAS Box goes back to normal mode.
8. A normal mode message is sent.
Notice:
When the test mode is started it is not possible to cancel the test
mode. The test sequence has to be completed before the system
returns to normal mode.
Though an alert activation has always highest priority. Pressing any
of the alert activation buttons will cancel the test and alert messages
are sent instead.

Iridium T racking System
With the Iridium Tracking System the SSAS control unit can send
information about the ships position. There are two ways to get the
position information:
Automatic ITS
Automatic ITS mode is set and enabled at the configuration page. In
this mode the SSAS unit will send periodical tracking messages. The
period between messages can be set from 1x5 minutes to 255x5
minutes.
Connecting a PC
When the Iridium SSAS Box is in normal mode the data interface of
the Iridium transceiver can be used for various data applications, e.g.
running the SMS PC client.
Connect a computer with a standard 9 pole RS232 serial cable to the
PC port on the Iridium SSAS Box. Set PC com port to 19200 baud.
The Iridium SSAS Box will sense the data communication on the PC
port and enter a transparent mode where it will forward any data to
and from the Iridium transceiver.
ITS request
It is possible to send an SMS to the SSAS control unit to request
position information.
Send an SMS or Email to the Iridium terminal using the phone
number on the SIM card. The SMS or Email message shall contain
the following:
ITSREQ,<PASSWORD>
Where the password is an 1 to 8 digit code free of choice. The
password is set at the configuration page. Use capital letters.
Example:
ITSREQ,77347562
When the SSAS unit receives the ITS request message with a valid
password the SSAS control unit will send one message with position
information.
The recipients of ITS messages shall be entered at the configuration
page. It is possible to send both to an Iridium telephone number and
to an Email address.
Notice:
The ITS message will be send only to the recipient listed in the
configuration page. It will not reply to the sender if this is different
from the listed recipients.
In case the alert is activated the data communication will be stopped.
Notice:
When a PC program uses the Iridium Transceiver as a modem via
the PC port on the SSAS control box the test mode can not be
started. The Iridium Tracking System will not be able automatically to
send neither position data nor requested position data.
Stop the PC program in order to enable the use of the test mode or
the Iridium Tracking System.
