2 Description of the service
The Inmarsat Global Area Network service is based on 4 Geostationary satellites situated above the equator. Geo-stationary
means that the satellites are always located in the same position,
i.e. they move at the same speed as that of the earth. Each
satellite covers a certain area (footprint) and each satellite
supports a number of powerful spot-beams making the service
available on virtually all land masses on the earth between
approximately 70°N and 70°S. Please see Chapter 10 for more
detailed maps.
The Four Geo-Stationary Inmarsat Satellites
The Four Geo-Stationary Inmarsat SatellitesThe Four Geo-Stationary Inmarsat Satellites
The Four Geo-Stationary Inmarsat Satellites
The satellites are your connection to the world wide networks,
and they are managed by the Network Co-ordination Stations
(NCSs), run by Inmarsat. The primary functions of the NCSs are to
constantly keep track of which terminals are logged on to the
system, and assign a free channel when a call is made.
The gateway between the public network and the satellites are
operated by Land Earth Stations (LES). The LESs are run by
different operators, around the world.

Important Notice:
Important Notice:Important Notice:
Important Notice: Before a terminal can be used on the network, it
has to be commissioned by one of the Inmarsat Service Providers
(ISP’s). In order to use the different Global Area Network services
it is necessary to have at least one Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN)
for each of the above mentioned services. In case all 8 services
are commissioned on your terminal, you will have 8 IMN
numbers.
Calling a Global Area Network terminal is equal to making
international calls. If the satellite region/area is not known for the
terminal the “country” code for a terminal is 870. When you dial a
Global Area Network terminal through the public network, you
have to dial the IMN number in addition to the international
access code for Inmarsat, e.g.:
+870 762 555 555
Making calls from a Global Area Network terminal is equal to
making international calls as the country code always has to be
dialled

The mini-M services have a lower tariff than the high speed
services, as these are high quality audio or high speed data
services and thus require more bandwidth.

between faxes and modems with an analogue 2-wire interface.
The 3.1 kHz audio service is transparent, and is suitable for all
analogue applications including secure telephones.
The MPDS service
MPDS serviceMPDS service
MPDS service is a packet data service where the tariff
depends on the amount of data transmitted. This service is a more
cost-effective solution for web browsing, and other applications
where there is no need for constant transmission of data in both
directions. It is also suitable for applications where a constant
connection is required, because the user is no longer charged the
“per minute rate”.
The mini-M voice
mini-M voicemini-M voice
mini-M voice service is only for voice transmission. The voice
transmitted over the satellite is subject to a compression process
down to 4.8 kbit/s, which reduces the bandwidth use and
subsequently the cost.
The mini-M fax
mini-M faxmini-M fax
mini-M fax service supports fax transmission at 2.4 kbit/s.
This can be useful and cost effective in case your fax is received
at a low speed.
The mini-M data

mini-M data service is used to transmit data at 2.4 kbit/s. This
can be a benefit when small amounts of data are sent or received,
e.g. when a short e-mail is sent.

The TT-3008A Antenna, connected at the rear, radiates micro
wave signals during a call with the strongest radiated signal in
front of the antenna (on the focal line) and drops off fairly quickly.
It is therefore important that no persons or animals are within the
safety distance, which is approx. 2 meters.

analogue phones, secure phones, modems or group III fax
machines. For both interfaces the following services can be used
• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• mini-M voice
• mini-M fax
Selection of service for the two is independent of each other.
Transmission speed of modem and fax depends on the attached
equipment and how they can cope with the delay.
If the mini-M voice is selected a phone must be connected as only
voice connections can be established. If the mini-M fax service is
selected a group III analogue fax must be connected and it will
always run at 2.4 kbit/s.

This interface can be used for connection of ISDN equipment –
data as well as voice/picture based equipment (phones, audio
codecs or video conferencing equipment).
The only exception is that normal terrestrial Basic Rate ISDN (BRI)
is based on 2 channels (128 kbit/s Data) and 1 D channel (16 kbps
Signalling). The Capsat® Messenger has 1 B channel (Data) and 1
S channel (simulated D channel) which combined equals a total
bandwidth of 64kbps. Please ensure that your ISDN equipment
has the possibility of supporting 1 B channel, otherwise it will not
work.
The following services may be used on the ISDN interface:
• 64 kbit/s UDI
• 56 kbit/s UDI
• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• mini-M voice
Equal to the terrestrial ISDN network the terminal offers the
possibility to have more than one device connected to this
interface. Each device can be individually addressed when called
and the service type can be selected individually. This requires
that the attached equipment supports MSN (Multiple Subscriber
Number). Depending on the brand of equipment it may be
possible to program the equipment with more MSNs. If a device
should respond to a certain IMN number, it must be programmed
in the ISDN equipment using the IMN as MSN. Note that the
equipment will only react if both MSN as well as service type
(speech, 3.1 kHz audio, 64 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s) fits with the ISDN
equipment.
Please note that the ISDN interface supports data transmission of
64 kbit/s (one B-channel) as opposed to 2 times 64 kbit/s (two Bchannels) available on the terrestrial ISDN network and that the
delay is also greater. Not all standard ISDN devices are equally
good at coping with these differences.

3.3 SIM card
The terminal also supports usage of a SIM card. If inserted the
terminal will have a new identity (a new set of IMN numbers and a
new set of allowed LES Operators) on the Global Area Network
corresponding to the information stored on the SIM card. If the
SIM card is removed the terminal will have the same
configuration as before.
Depending on the configuration of the terminal it may be
mandatory to insert a SIM card before operation can begin. In
case the SIM card is lost or not working you can configure the
terminal so that you are able to make one call through the Help
Desk. This is done by pressing . The Help Desk contains
phone numbers for the ISP.

3.5 Handling of the battery pack
Please observe that the battery pack is sensitive to how it is
charged and discharged. To keep the battery capacity high and
to avoid memory effects, the battery should be fully discharged
occasionally.
Generally it is sufficient to discharge the supplied NiMH battery
pack completely when the battery pack has been partly
discharged and charged 50 to 70 times. For NiCd battery packs a

complete discharge should be performed after 5-10 partly
discharges.
Avoid exposing the battery pack to direct sunlight, as high
temperature will reduce battery lifetime.
Pull the battery pack out before long-time storage (months), as
this action prevents battery pack degradation.
Please note that the high capacity NiMH-batteries (TT-3686C) are
not recommended for use at temperatures below approximately 5
degrees C. For such low temperature applications the NiCdbattery (TT-3686D) pack is recommended instead.
Charge indicator:
The battery pack charge status is shown on an LED located on the
right side of the front of the electronics unit. The LED has the
following interpretation :
Constant green light : Fast charging. Charge time is approx. 3h
for NiMH and 2h for NiCd.
Slow flashing green light: Charge pending. This happens when
the battery voltage is too low, i.e. below approx. 10V. Low battery
voltage can occur if the battery has not been used for a long
period of time. Charge pending is proceeded by fast charging.
Fast flashing green light: Maintenance charge. Indicates that the
battery pack is fully charged.
Constant red light : No charge. If the battery pack temperature
exceeds +55°C or drops below 0°C the charge is suspended.
Constant yellow light : Slow charge for NiCd only. If the battery
pack temperature drops below 0°C the charging is slowed down.
Charge time is 10–20 hours.

It is necessary to configure the terminal with respect to the
different IMN numbers which have been assigned to this terminal.
The terminal supports 8 different services, which may have 1 or
up to 16 IMN numbers assigned. The terminal has 6 hardware
interfaces of which the ISDN interface may have 8 devices
attached.
For each hardware interface it is necessary to setup a default IMN,
which should be used for billing if a call is initiated from here. As
all IMN’s are associated with one service type the default service
type for calls initiated from this interface is thus also defined if the
device attached makes a call.
Normally this is only done once by your distributor. Details of
how to setup the phone can be found in section 6.7.
The terminal has a directional antenna and it is necessary to point
the antenna in the direction of the satellite.
In order to install the terminal correctly, and to establish a
connection via the Global Area Network the following steps must
be followed:

• Select a satellite region/area dependent on your position.
• Point the antenna towards the satellite. This is described in
detail in section 4.2
• Fine align the antenna until the terminal communicates
correctly with the NCS and the LES. To search for the
maximum signal strength use either the audible signal
strength indicator on the antenna or look at the display on the
Capsat® Messenger.
The steps will be described in detail in the following sections.
4.1 Select satellite
Before pointing the antenna, it is necessary to select which of the
four satellites to point at. The four satellite regions/areas are
labelled after the ocean, which they are placed above and they
are:
• Atlantic Ocean Region East (AORE)
• Atlantic Ocean Region West (AORW)
• Indian Ocean Region (IOR)
• Pacific Ocean Region (POR)

region.
It is for example not possible to “see” the POR satellite in Europe
and thus this should not be chosen. Depending on the exact
position in Europe either AORE or IOR may be chosen.
In order to evaluate which satellite to use you need to look at the
coverage maps. They show the coverage area of each satellite
together with elevation/azimuth. The maps are placed in chapter
10.
Azimuth is the angle between geographical north and the
direction towards the satellite (clock wise). An azimuth of 90° is
the direction east and 270° is the direction west.
Elevation is the angle between horizontal and the direction
towards the satellite. At equator the elevation is 90° and it will
decrease when moving away from equator (north or south).
If two or more satellites can be “seen” the best choice will be the
one with the highest elevation.
Read your elevation/azimuth position on earth on the coverage
maps.

Se either chapter 4.2.1; 4.2.2; 4.2.3 or 4.2.4 for detailed
information, depending on your type of antenna.
Note
NoteNote
Note
Due to the increased sensitivity of the antenna, the antenna must
be aligned very carefully for maximum signal strength. When the
antenna is adjusted for maximum signal strength, the RF-power
amplifier automatically reduces its output power level to a level
that is required for a stable satellite connection. This results in an

Notes
NotesNotes
Notes
• The antenna radiates RF signals during a call, therefore a
safety distance must be observed. Allow a passage distance
of approx. 2 meters from the antenna. The radiated signal is
strongest on the focal line of the antenna and drops off
quickly! The antenna can be secured to the ground by
loading the frame with sandbags, bricks or other suitable
weights. Keep the front panel of the antenna free from
obstructions!
• Precise adjustment of the antenna will make it possible for
the RF power amplifier to reduce the transmitted power
automatically to the required minimum for a reliable satellite
connection. This will result in an extension of the battery
capacity with up to 100%, depending on the exact
application.

Notes
• The antenna radiates RF signals during a call, therefore a safety
distance must be observed). Allow a passage distance of approx. 2
meters from the antenna. The radiated signal is strongest on the focal
line of the antenna and drops off quickly! The antenna can be
secured to the ground by loading the frame with sandbags, bricks or
other suitable weights. Keep the front panel of the antenna free from
obstructions!
• Precise adjustment of the antenna will make it possible for the RF
power amplifier to reduce the transmitted power automatically to the
required minimum for a reliable satellite connection. This will result
in an extension of the battery capacity with up to 30%, depending on
the exact application.

4.3 NCS/LES connectivity
After setting up the antenna, turn on the terminal by pressing the
key. If the terminal is protected by a PIN code (PIN1, security
is described more in detail in section 6.7.4 Security), you will be
prompted to enter the PIN-code on the handset before you can
proceed.
After a while the display reads “Search for satellite”. This is due
to the fact that the antenna alignment seldom gives an adequate
signal quality. It is necessary to fine align the antenna. For this
purpose it is possible to activate an audible tone in the antenna,
which indicates the received signal quality. It is activated on the
handset by pressing . This also implies that the C/No value
is shown (signal quality) in the display on the handset. Now fine
align the antenna for maximum received signal strength, it should
read at least 53 dB/Hz in order to make it possible to use the high
speed services.
Now turn off the audible tone by pressing and turn off the
C/No indication by pressing .
The terminal now receives the signal transmitted by one of the
NCS’s. This signal contains information about which satellite
(area) you are connected to and the handset will now prompt you
to accept this area (AORE, AORW, IOR or POR). Accept by
pressing .
If the terminal previously with success has been used in this
ocean region. It will automatically select the same LES operator
again as gateway to the terrestrial network. Ocean region and
LES operator is indicated on the handset display.

The terminal is now ready for making and receiving calls.In case
the terminal has never been used in a ocean region the terminal
requires that you either acknowledge the LES operator, which the
terminal suggests, or that you setup a default LES operator for this
ocean region. This is done in the Satellite setup menu, which is
described in more detail in section 6.6.

5 Making calls
5.1 Calling the terminal
Calling the terminal or a device connected to the terminal is
similar to making international calls. The specific IMN-number (a
terminal may have more numbers as different services exist and
more devices may be connected to the different hardware
interfaces of the terminal) has to be preceded by one of the five
possible international access codes for the Global Area Network.
This depends on whether you know which area the terminal is
within or not:
870: Area of terminal not known
(requires that the LES supports Mobility Management).
871: AORE
872: POR
873: IOR
874: AORW
To call the IMN-number on a terminal situated in IOR dial
+873 followed by the IMN number
5.2 Transferring incoming calls
In case an incoming call is routed to more hardware interfaces
and is answered on a wrong hardware interface it is possible to
transfer the call to another interface by using the followed
by a number indicating the hardware interface. The hardware
interfaces have the following numbers or local extensions:

It is possible to address a specific device on the ISDN interface if
more devices are connected in parallel to this interface. This
requires that the IMN-number has been programmed into the
ISDN device as a so called MSN (Multiple Subscriber Number). To
address a specific device on the ISDN interface press
followed by the IMN number.
5.3 Call from handset
When making calls from the handset just type in the phone
number as if you were making an international call (with prefix
for automatic international calls equal to 00).

5.6 Call via RS-232
The terminal can be used as a Hayes compatible data modem by
using the RS-232 interface. If the device attached to the RS-232
interface does not have the possibility to issue dialling commands
the handset keypad may be used for this.
The RS-232 interface of the terminal has automatic baudrate and
framing detection so it is not necessary to configure this in the
terminal before usage. It is important that the wiring between the
RS-232 interface of the terminal and of the attached device (a PC
for example) is correct. The terminal is of type DCE (Data
Communication Equipment) whereas PC’s for example are of
type DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). DCE’s and DTE’s are
connected by a one-to-one cable. It is also important that the type
of data flow control is known and identically configured in both
devices. This cable is supplied as standard device.
The AT-command to establish a call to a modem with phone
number 39661010 situated at Thrane & Thrane in Denmark is as
follows:
ATD004539661010<CR>
Hereafter the modems can exchange data with each other.
The display on the terminal handset will show how the call
proceeds.

6.5 Mailbox
The mailbox feature handles messages being sent from the LES
operator. If a call is made to a terminal, which is busy, switched
off, etc. the LES operator may offer the facility to record a short
message. When the terminal again becomes operational a
message is sent indicating that the LES operator has recorded a
short message for the terminal.
The symbol in the handset display indicates the presence of
such messages.
Each message can be seen in the Mailbox menu and contains the
following information:
• LES Access Code
• Service type (voice, fax, data).

Prefer LES list can be used to indicate in
which order LES operators should appear on the Default LES list.
This is done by entering a number for each LES in the list –
number 1 will appear first in the default LES list.
These lists can only be read and changed when the terminal is in
contact with the NCS – receiving the signal from the NCS. And the
allowed LES operators can only be selected when PIN2 is known –
see section 6.7.4 Security.

Route outgoing menu is used to select which IMN-number
should be used for billing for each of the different hardware
interfaces and thus a default service type is also selected. An
example: The handset is configured to always use inexpensive
mini-M voice, if a call is initiated from here, whereas one of the
analogue phone interfaces is configured to always use “3.1 kHz
audio” when a call is initiated from here.
To give a better overview of these three submenus the figure
below indicates the routing matrix representing all three menus
as can be seen in the PC configuration software. The X’s indicates
which IMNs are routed to which hardware interface, whereas #
indicates default IMN for billing and thus service type for each
hardware interface.
The Security

indicated the corresponding ID’s along with the IMN-numbers. If
the ID shown by the terminal corresponds with the ID given by
the ISP press . If not, then correct the ID and then press . If
the ISP has not indicated the ID for each IMN number two
situations exist:
If there is not more than one IMN-number pr. service the ID
shown by the terminal will always be correct and thus just press
.
If there is more than one IMN-number pr. service the normal rule
is that the first (or upper) IMN on the returned commissioning
form will have the lowest ID and each subsequent IMN-number
will have an ID which is 1 higher than the predecessor. Please
remember that the ID’s are hexadecimal numbers. In case the
IMN’s are combined with the wrong ID’s the wrong interface may
be activated for incoming calls. Furthermore, reference IMN for
an hardware interface when making outgoing will be wrong. Thus
service type and billing will be otherwise than expected. The ISP
may help you with this.
ID’s are entered as decimal and the allowed range pr. service
type is as follows:
Service ID – range
Mini-M voice 1-15
Mini-M fax 17-31
Mini-M data 33 – 47
Speech 145 – 159

It is possible to route one IMN to more interfaces. The only
exception is that the same IMN can not be routed simultaneously
to both analogue 2-wire interfaces (RJ11 interfaces).
The print-menu is used to print all this information to the RS-232
interface.
6.7.3 Route outgoing
This menu has got the following submenus:
• Handset
• 1st RJ11
• 2nd RJ11
• RS-232
• USB
• ISDN
• Print
For each interface it is necessary to select which IMN-number
should be used for reference (billing) and thus which default
service type should be used.
Pressing implies that this IMN is now the selected one and the
previous IMN is deselected. A * is used to define which interface
should be used for incoming calls and a # is used to define which
interface should be used for outgoing calls.
Each of the two RJ11 menus gives the possibility to select the
default service to be used for these two 2-wire interfaces:
• mini-M voice
• mini-M fax
• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio

The PIN codes
PIN codesPIN codes
PIN codes menu gives the possibility to change the different
PIN codes. There are four PIN codes:
• PIN1 (4-8 digits)
• PIN2 (4-8 digits)
• CONFIG PIN (4-8 digits)
• SIM lock PIN (10 digits)
If a SIM card is inserted the PIN1 and PIN2 codes will be the ones
stored on the SIM card. If there is no SIM card, the two PIN codes
will be the ones stored in the terminal.
The PIN1
PIN1PIN1
PIN1 code controls general access to the terminal. If enabled
it is only possible to use the terminal if PIN1 is entered when the
terminal prompts for it. The PIN1 code in the terminal when
delivered from the factory is equal to the PIN1 unblock code (8
digits). The PIN1 unblock code is used to unblock the terminal
when it blocks due to 3 attempts with wrong PIN1 codes.
The PIN1 can be unblocked within 10 attempts. After the 10.
attempt the SIM card is permanently blocked and has to be
returned to the ISP.
Note that the terminal can be protected by PIN1 after it has been
turned on and the PIN1 code has been entered the first time. This
is done by pressing on the handset keypad. The next
person who tries to use the terminal will be prompted to enter the
PIN1 code.
The PIN2
PIN2PIN2
PIN2 code controls access to editing the Allowed LES list and
to edit entries in the Helpdesk. In the Allowed LES list it is
possible to select the subset of LES operators which this terminal
may use. The PIN2 code in the terminal when delivered from the
factory is equal to the PIN2 unblock code (8 digits). The PIN2
unblock code is used to unblock the terminal when it blocks due
to 3 attempts with wrong PIN2 codes. PIN2 is typical used by ISP’s
to make sure that this terminal utilises the LES operators which
the ISP has got an agreement with.

The SIM lock PIN
SIM lock PINSIM lock PIN
SIM lock PIN code is used to control access to the capability
of locking /unlocking the terminal to SIM card usage.
There is no SIM lock PIN programmed in terminals delivered
from the factory, but typically the ISP has entered a SIM lock PIN
code and the ISP is the only one who knows this PIN code. If no
SIM lock PIN code is present in the terminal just press when
prompted for the SIM lock PIN code.
The Allowed Dial
Allowed DialAllowed Dial
Allowed Dial menu gives the possibility of entering a number
of “masks” which consist of 1 to 22 digits or which consist of an *
followed by 1 to 22 digits. Whenever a call is made via the
terminal the dialled number is compared to all masks. Only if the
dialled number fits one of the masks starting without * the call is
initiated. If a mask is for example 3 digits long only the 3 first
digits of the dialled number is compared with the mask.
The Autoprefix
AutoprefixAutoprefix
Autoprefix menu is used to enter a string of digits (including
*) which will automatically be inserted in front of every telephone
number entered for making calls except for 2-digit Inmarsat
Service codes. This includes numbers used from the phonebook.
