1. INMARSAT C SYSTEM
OVERVIEW

1.1 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 net-
work via satellite. Further, e-mail can be sent via the internet.

Communication mode is store-and-forward telex, which means all information sent are
first stored at an LES (Land Earth Station) and then delivered to designated party.

An EGC (Enhanced Group Call) receiver is built in the FELCOM system to receive the
following types of messages, broadcast by LESs:

• SafetyNET: Governments and maritime authorities can use this service to distribute
maritime safety information to ships within selected areas.
• FleetNET: Commercial subscription organizations or shipping companies 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 in-
formation.
• EGC system-related messages are 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. This manual, however, concen-
trates on the ship applications, the main application.

Inmarsat-C system configuration

The Inmarsat C system consists of the Operation Control Center (OCC), Satellite Con-
trol Centers (SCC), Network Coordination Stations (NCS), Land Earth Stations (LES)
and Mobile Earth Stations (MES). The OCC, located at Inmarsat’s London headquar-
ters, coordinates a wide range of activities in the Inmarsat system, including commis-
sioning 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-West Inmarsat 3, F4 54.0°W
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 Inmar-
sat C transceivers in its region and broadcasts information such as navigational warn-
ings, weather reports and news. The LESs provide the link between the MES and the
terrestrial telecommunications networks via satellite.

Section Description
NCS common channel The NCS has two major functions:
• Transmit information on a common channel.
• Transmit EGC messages to MESs.
NCS/LES signaling link The NCS/LES signaling link connects the NCS to all
LESs in its region. All EGC messages pass through
this link.
LES TDM channel The LES TDM channel carries the circuit control sig-
nal for MES and transmits messages from LES to
MES.
MES message channel The MES message channel carries messages from
MES to LES.
MES signaling channel The MES signaling channel transmits requests, data
reports, etc. This channel also carries login and logout
from MES to NCS.
NCS/NCS signaling link This NCS/NCS signaling link connects all NCSs. This
link exchanges data between NCSs operating in dif-
ferent ocean regions.
MES interface The MES consists of the Data Circuit Terminating
Equipment (DCE) and the Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE). The DCE consists of the antenna unit, and the
DTE consists of a communication unit and terminal
unit (PC).
Terrestrial network interface The major functions of the LESs are:
• Telex store-and-forward conversion
• Handling EGC messages
• Data reporting and polling
Types of MES
There are three types of MES: class 1, class 2 and class 3. This FELCOM is a class
2 MES.

Class 1: • Transmits messages to LES.

• Receives messages from LES.
Class 2: • The functions of class 1 plus operation as an EGC receiver when not
transmitting or receiving.
• EGC-only receiver
Class 3: The function of class 1 plus simultaneous operation as an EGC-only receiv-
er.

3.3 Login and Logout

Each time the terminal unit is turned on, login 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 for a prolonged period, you should logout from
the Inmarsat C system, before turning off the communication unit. The Inmarsat C sys-
tem 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.

3.4 EGC Settings

3.4.1 What is the EGC (Enhanced Group Call) service?

The EGC service enables EGC information providers to send SafetyNETTM, Fleet-
NETTM 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:

• The information provider prepares the message, and then accesses the appro-
priate Country of the international telex network to send the message to an LES.
• The LES processes and forwards it to the NCS for the ocean region designated
by the provider.
• Then, the NCS broadcasts the message throughout the ocean region. (The op-
erator may select the EGC messages to receive by position (one position) and
geographical position (nine areas). For further details see section 3.4.2.)

* Navtex station
Ch2
* Coast guard LES2 MES
* Rescue center
* Shipping company, etc. Ch3

Ch1-Ch3 are dedicated
channels for each LES.
There are three types of EGC services:

1) SafetyNETTM
This provides a means for information providers to distribute Maritime Safety Infor-
mation (MSI) from shore-to-ship. Authorized information providers include:
• Hydrographic Offices, for navigational warnings
• National Weather Services, for meteorological warnings and forecasts
• Rescue Co-ordination Center, for shore-to-ship distress alerts and other urgent infor-
mation
• International Ice Patrol, for North Atlantic ice hazards

2) FleetNETTM
This service allows authorized information providers such as commercial subscrip-
tion services, shipping companies and governments, which have registered with a
LES that supports FleetNETTM, to broadcast messages to selected group of
MESs. Typical applications of FleetNETTM are
• Fleet or company broadcasts
• News broadcasts
• Commercial weather service
• Government broadcasts to all vessels on a country’s registration

This chapter describes how prepare, edit, save and print files (messages).

4.1 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 section 5.1.2. To save it
to the hard disk, for future transmission, go to section 4.3.2.

4.2.2 How to prepare a confidential file

If communicating with another FELCOM19, you can prepare a confidential message
by entering “S???-addressee code(-password):” in the first line of message text. You
can also receive confidential messages containing this header from a land subscriber
or any MES which uses the FELCOM19.

There are two types of confidential messages: message with addressee code and
message with both addressee code and password.

When the FELCOM receives a confidential message, the message is neither dis-
played nor printed immediately. To display or print the contents of a confidential mes-
sage, the recipient executes the procedure shown in section 5.2.3.

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.

How to prepare a message with addressee code

Type the addressee code as shown in the illustration below and then type the text of
message.

Be sure to enter colon.

5. INMARSAT COMMUNICATIONS
This chapter explains how to send and receive. Before conducting any communica-
tions, be sure to login with the NCS in your area, following the instructions in
section 3.3.1.

To send e-mail, register for e-mail services with appropriate LES which provides such
services. Further, it is necessary to register with appropriate LES to receive e-mail
from land mail system. For further details, contact appropriate LES.

5.1 How to Send a Message

To send 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
sending to a ship.

The message can be one you have just prepared or one stored on the hard disk. (Mes-
sages cannot be sent by direct keyboard input.)

5.1.1 Code description

Code can be specified at the terminal unit as follows:

IA5: International alphabet No. 5, ASCII code (7 bit). Specify this code to send English
containing lower case alphabet.
ITA2: No. 2 international communications alphabet (5 bit). Specify this code for mes-
sage which contains only No. 2 international communications alphabet (see the Ap-
pendix 4). ITA2 code is sent 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 send data.

5.4.2 How to display EGC closed network ID (ENID)

To join a FleetNET service, an MES must be registered with an information provider.
The information provider adds the MES to the group which is to receive the service,
by downloading a Group Call ID (via an LES which supports FleetNET broadcasts),
uniquely addressed to the MES. The MES stores the ID and can accept broadcasts
from the information provider. The MES operator cannot change this stored EGC
closed network IDs (ENIDs). Up to 64 ENIDs are stored on a non-volatile memory.

The ENID stored can be accessed for downloading and deleting via the satellite path.
An MES operator can inhibit (or activate as required), via the terminal unit, selected
ENIDs previously downloaded.

Along with the ENID the name of the information provider is stored. In the event that
a download command is received and the ENID storage area is full, an ENID which

has been disabled by the MES operator will be written over. If none has been disabled,
then the new download is not accepted.

Follow the procedure below to enable or disable an ENID.

1. Press the F4 and 2 keys to show the [EGC Network ID] screen.

6. DATA REPORT AND POLLING
This chapter provides the information necessary for data reporting and polling recep-
tion. Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at regular intervals from
your ship to your home office. When your ship receives a polling command from your
home office; that is, a request for navigation data from your ship, it automatically trans-
mits this data to your home office.

No operator intervention is required during polling reception.

6.1 Data Reporting

Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at predetermined intervals from
your ship to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and other data
sent from a navigator or an interface unit.

The data transmitted from the FELCOM is temporarily stored in a data reporting file at
the LES. When an operator at your home office accesses the LES, the LES delivers
the data to your home office. Some LESs may deliver it without being accessed.

Data reporting can be initiated by setting a data report on the FELCOM or receiving a
polling command from your home office.

This FELCOM offers two types of reports:

• Data report (on MES signaling channel). See section 6.1.1.

• Message report (on MES message channel). See section 6.1.2.

6.2 Polling
When the FELCOM receives a polling command from your home office it automatically
transmits data to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and other
data sent from a navigator or an interface unit.

A polling command from your home office can also activate a data report or message
report if the corresponding setting is completed on the FELCOM. If a polling command
with a file name is received, the FELCOM transmits the file to your home office.

6.2.1 Polling commands

This section shows you how to make the polling command at your home office.

There are two kinds of polling commands: one is sent on the MES signalling channel
and the other is sent on the MES message channel.

Polling command on the MES signalling channel

Request a land station to make the polling command because the format varies with
land station.

Polling command on the MES message channel

To make the polling command, enter D???, hyphen, PIN code (max. 8 digits), hyphen,
file name, colon.

To send file data, type a hyphen and file name. Then, only the file specified in the di-
rectory of the Message Directory is transmitted. If neither hyphen nor file name is en-
tered, nav data (own ship position, course, speed, etc.) is transmitted.

PIN Code

How to register your PIN code

The PIN (Personal ID Number) code is a password used in message reporting, and is
an eight-digit number agreed upon by communicating parties. There is no rule for de-
termining PIN code. When a ship receives a polling command w/PIN code from a
shore subscriber and the code matches that of the ship, the ship sends a message
report.

6.5 LRIT Overview

6.5.1 LRIT overview

This equipment can function as a marine communications terminal for the LRIT (Long-
Range Identification and Tracking) system, as prescribed by the IMO resolution
MSC.202(81). The LRIT uses the FELCOM's Data Report/Polling feature for LRIT po-
sition reporting.

The LRIT system is fully automatic, thus no operation is required of the user. However,
follow the guidelines shown below to use this equipment as an LRIT device.

The data listed below is sent by the FELCOM when it receives a command from the
LRIT data center.

• ID number of this equipment

• Position of your ship
• Time of position
The FELCOM sends data at intervals between 15 minutes and 6 hours.

The FELCOM automatically receives commands (related to time of position reporting,

transmission interval) from the LRIT data center. To receive the commands at all
times, keep the equipment powered and logged in.

6.5.2 About the LRIT system

z Power the equipment and keep it logged in at all times except for special occasions
such as when the ship is dry-docked for repairs. Position information is automati-
cally sent at fixed intervals, thus no operation is required. However, keep the equip-
ment in a ready state to received commands from the LRIT data center. Combined
use for routine messages, distress messages and SSAS (Ship Security Alert Sys-
tem) is possible.
z The source of position data for this equipment can be its internal GPS receiver or
external GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) equipment. For GNSS equip-
ment, interface directly to the shipborne global navigation satellite system equip-
ment.
z If external GPS equipment is used, set it to use WGS84 datum. Further, the output
sentences should minimally be as follows:
• Time data input: ZDA
• Position data input: RMC or GGA and VTG (pair)
z This equipment and external GNSS equipment must be powered in the following
manner.
• If the above equipment is used as a GMDSS device also, connect them to an
auxiliary power source (radio communications battery).
• If the above equipment is not used as a GMDSS device, connect them to both
main and emergency power sources (via AC/DC Power Supply Unit PR-240).
z If an error message appears, take the necessary measures to restore normal op-
eration as soon as possible. Shown below are representative alarms.
• "WARNING: External NAV equipment failure." Position data is not input from
the external GNSS equipment. Check the GNSS equipment and the wiring be-
tween the GNSS and the FELCOM.
• "WARNING: Internal GPS UNIT failure." Position data is not input from the in-
ternal GPS receiver. If this alarm occurs frequently, have the set checked.
• "WARNING: Synchronization loss." Check the current Ocean Region.
• "WARNING: BBER over 80%. Scanning NCS start manually." Problem with
receiving the Inmarsat-C signal. Check if the current sea area is suitable for your
position. If it is not, change the sea area. If the area is suitable and the alarm con-
tinues, check the antenna and antenna cable. Request service if the problem
persists.
