1 Introduction
This manual provides instructions for configuring the Thrane & Thrane fishery transceivers and land mobile transceiver for use in Vessel/Vehicle Monitoring Systems. The manual provides informa­tion for both the TT-3020C SOLAS GMDSS Transceiver, the TT­3028CM Dual Mode SOLAS GMDSS Transceiver, the TT-3022D Non-SOLAS Fishery Transceiver and for the TT-3022C Land Mobile Transceiver.
The manual contains no information about general installation of the equipment. This information should be found in the relevant in­stallation manuals. The TT-3020C Installation Manual (document number TT98-107880 ), the TT-3028CM Installation Manual (document number TT98-111327), the TT -3022D Installation Man­ual (document number TT98-107719) and the TT-3022C Installa­tion Manual (document number TT98-107307).
This manual cover software versions from 3.28 and up.
1.1 An introduction to terms
This section describes the terms in vessel/vehicle surveillance that are needed to understand the role of Inmarsat and T&T in VMS.
The most important terms used in VMS are Land Earth Stations (LES), VMS Data Network Id (DNID) and Member numbers.
Figure 1 shows a typical transmission path of a position being transferred from the Inmarsat-C transceiver in a fishery vessel to the vessel surveillance centre. The same path applies - but in the opposite direction - for commands send to the vessel.

Figure 1 System Overview
When a position is transmitted from the vessel/vehicle to the sur­veillance centre the address of the recipient must be known by the Inmarsat-C transceiver otherwise the transceiver will not know where to send it. This address is called the VMS DNID and VMS LES. Figure 2 shows an antenna blocked position report being sent to recipient LES 312 and DNID 12345.

Short feature description Introduction
9-Nov-00 Page 1-3
The member number has a similar meaning as the return address on an envelope. The member number is used by the ves­sel/vehicle surveillance centre to identify the transceiver that transmitted the position report.
When a position report is received by the Land Earth Station (LES) a DNID file is created from the packets received in the VMS DNID mailbox. The DNID file can then be forwarded to the fishery authori­ties or other vessel/vehicle surveillance authorities via the terres­trial line. The type of network used to access the Inmarsat-C Land Earth Station (X.25, PSTN etc.) is not discussed in this document. It is also important to notice that the LES interface varies with the dif­ferent producer of LES.
Position reports as transmitted by the Inmarsat-C transceiver are one or two 15 bytes data packets on the satellite link but this infor­mation is packed into a DNID format before it is transmitted to the vessel/vehicle surveillance centre. Therefore it is the DNID format that is being described throughout this manual.
1.2 Short feature description
The Thrane & Thrane Fishery Transceiver is the market leader in Inmarsat-C Vessel Monitoring Systems. The Transceiver has been approved as Fishery Monitoring Unit in a large number of countries and offers a great variety of configurations depending on the spe­cific needs.
In the following is a short list of the primary features in both of the Thrane & Thrane Inmarsat-C fishery transceivers.
• Freely configurable position reporting interval
• Detection and reporting of Inmarsat-C antenna blockage
• Detection and reporting of GPS blockage
Introduction Short feature description
Page 1-4 9-Nov-00
• Configurable one or two packets report depending on the need for speed and course information.
• 4 different formats for date and time information
• Remote configuration from VMS centre of key features in the
transceiver.
• Password protection of configuration and relevant commands.
• Possible reduced transmission mode with long and short re-
porting interval depending on vessel movements
• Button for initiating manual position report or indication in har­bour status.
• Storing of up to 100 position reports when outside Inmarsat coverage
• Configurable macro codes for different events.
• Possibility of retransmission of failed reports
• Possibility of hiding transmission (Not applicable for SOLAS
transceiver)
• Sleep mode where the transceiver automatic turns off to save power when not sending (Not applicable for SOLAS trans­ceiver)
• Differentiation between “Power down” status and “Nice power down” status (special power off button).
• Surveillance zones giving a geographical area and a reporting interval to be used in that area .
The Thrane & Thrane Land Mobile Transceiver includes full VMS functionality identical to its maritime counterpart in both behaviour and in packet format.

1.2.1 Restriction to the SOLAS Fishery
Some of the features described in this manual are in conflict with the SOLAS GMDSS requirements. Therefore thes e features are not implemented in the TT-3020C SOLAS Fishery Transceiver or in the TT-3028CM Dual Mode SOLAS GMDSS Transceiver.
A short list of the missing features are listed in the following. A more comprehensive description of the feature is given in the rele­vant sections of this manual.
• Nice Power Down Support. Please see section 4.1.8.
• Disable Send LED on position report TX. Please see section
4.1.9
• Position report packet 2 - bit mask. Due to the fact that no GMDSS Message Terminal supports this feature. Please see section 4.1.22.
• Sleep mode. Please see section 4.5.
• Password protection of the commands “Login” and “Scan”.
Please see section 4.2.

2 LES Interface
This manual does not discuss the interface between the Vessel Monitoring Centre and the Inmarsat-C Land Earth Station. However a description of the DNID file format is discussed in section 2.1 as this should give a good hand-on feeling of the actual information that can be passed between the Vessel Monitoring Unit and the Vessel Monitoring Centre.
2.1 DNID Common Format
The format of the DNID file on the LES depends on the configura­tion of LES DNID account. In the following it is assumed that the DNID files are stored using API headers. Please reed more in about API headers in the document “TT-6000 Inmarsat-C Land Earth Station API-Header Description”.
In Figure 3 the common API Header is described and in Figure 4 the first part of the position report is illustrated. Finally in Figure 5 the format of the optional second position report is described.

3 Initial setup of transceiver
The initial set-up depends on the choice of transceiver. In the fo l­lowing the initial configuration of the two different Thrane & Thrane transceiver are described.
3.1 TT-3020C SOLAS Transceiver
The TT-3020C is a GMDSS approved Inmarsat-C transceiver for SOLAS applications. When the transceiver has installed software version V3.24 or above is approved for both GMDSS and fishery surveillance.
Figure 6 TT-3020C Maritime Capsat Transceiver
When receiving the transceiver the TT-3020C is default set to SO­LAS Maritime behaviour i.e. no fishery surveillance is enabled. Some configurations are necessary before setting the transceiver on-air to fulfil the VMS requirements.
3.1.1 Making a SOLAS Fishery Transceiver
To change the TT-3020C SOLAS Maritime transceiver into a TT ­3020C SOLAS Fishery transceiver the command “SE-B” must be
Initial setup of transceiver TT-3020C SOLAS Transceiver
Page 3-2 9-Nov-00
executed in the transceiver terminal. The SE-B command enters the system parameter initialisation menu. Menu entry 7 Change
MES into SOLAS Fishery transceiver changes the transceiver into a SOLAS Fishery transceiver.
Please notice that once the transceiver has been changed to a SOLAS Fishery it is no longer possible to change it back to a normal SOLAS Maritime transceiver.
The transceiver will automatically reboot when changing trans­ceiver type and after power-up identify itself as a SOLAS Fishery transceiver.
TT-3020C SOLAS Fishery does not allow external position to set the position of the transceiver and therefore NMEA input is dis­abled.
3.1.2 Ocean Registration
When the transceiver is configured for SOLAS Fishery the trans­ceiver will automatically login to the ocean region with the best sig­nal (if not already logged in). Using the transceiver terminal com­mand "SET -O" the preferred ocean can be configured and the transceiver will try to login into this preferred ocean when going on­air for the first time.
TT-3028CM Dual Mode Fishery Transceiver Initial setup of transceiver
9-Nov-00 Page 3-3
3.2 TT-3028CM Dual Mode Fishery Transceiver
The TT-3028CM is a GMDSS approved Inmarsat-C transceiver and Mini-M phone for SOLAS applications. When the transceiver has installed software version V3.24 or above is approved for both GMDSS and fishery surveillance.
Figure 7 TT-3020C Maritime Capsat Transceiver
When receiving the transceiver the TT-3028CM is default set to SOLAS Maritime behaviour i.e. no fishery surveillance is enabled. Some configurations are necessary before setting the transceiver on-air to fulfil the VMS requirements.
3.2.1 Making a SOLAS Fishery Transceiver
To change the TT-3028CM SOLAS Maritime transceiver into a TT­3028CM SOLAS Fishery transceiver the command “SE-B” must be executed in the transceiver terminal. The SE-B command enters the system parameter initialisation menu. Menu entry 7 Change
