The Inmarsat Fleet Service Introduction

2.2 The Inmarsat Fleet Service

The Inmarsat Fleet service is based on 4 Geo-stationary 3rd
generation satellites situated above the equator. Geo-
stationary means that the satellites are always located in
the same position, i.e. they rotate at the same speed as
that of the earth. Each satellite covers a certain area
(footprint) and supports a number of powerful spot-beams 2
making the service available in virtually all ocean regions
on the earth between approximately 70°N and 70°S.

The 4 Geo-Stationary Inmarsat Satellites

The satellites are your connection to the worldwide

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 whenever a call is made.

The gateway between the public network and the satellites

are operated by Land Earth Stations (LES). The LES are run
by different operators around the world.

The Fleet services are prepared for operation with the next
generation of Inmarsat satellites (Inm-IV) expected in
2005.

May 2005 5
 Introduction The Inmarsat Fleet Service

The services supported by the Inmarsat Fleet encompass:

• High speed services

• 2 x 64 / 2 x 56 kbit/s data1
• 64 kbit/s data
• 56 kbit/s data
• Speech

2 •
•
3.1 kHz audio
MPDS

• Low speed services

• mini-M voice
• 9.6 kbit fax

For a detailed description of each service see the last

section of this chapter. The above-mentioned services
allow for a wide range of applications. Examples are shown
below.

1
128 kbit/s is only available on new F77 systems

6 May 2005
The Inmarsat Fleet Service Introduction

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
Inmarsat Fleet 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.
2
Calling an Inmarsat Fleet terminal corresponds 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 up to an Inmarsat Fleet terminal through
the public network, you have to dial the IMN number in
addition to the international access code for Inmarsat, e.g.:

+870 600 555 555

Making calls from an Inmarsat Fleet terminal corresponds

to making international calls as the country code always
has to be dialed.

Service explanation:

The low speed 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.

The 128 kbit/s UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information)

service enables 2 x 64 kbit/s or 2 x 56 kbit/s bi-directional
transmission of data to and from terrestrial ISDN networks

The 64 kbit/s UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information)

service enables the bi-directional transmission of data to
and from terrestrial 64 kbit/s ISDN networks. The 56
kbit/s UDI service is similarly used to make a connection
to 56 kbit/s ISDN networks, which are primarily used in
North America.

May 2005 7
 Introduction The Inmarsat Fleet Service

The Speech and 3.1 kHz audio services make it possible

to establish high quality analogue connections with quality
equal to terrestrial analogue connections via digital
networks/switches. The Speech service is used for high
quality voice connections, whereas 3.1 kHz audio can be
used to transfer analogue signals between fax machines
and modems with an analogue 2-wire interface. The 3.1

2 kHz audio service is transparent, and is suitable for all

analogue applications including secure telephones.

The MPDS service is a packet data service where the tariff

depends on the amount of data sent and received. 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 service is only for voice transmission.

The voice transmitted over the satellite is subject to a
compression process that reduces the bandwidth to 4.8
kbit/s and subsequently the cost.

The 9.6 kbit Fax allows you to send and receive faxes
using a standard office fax machine. This service replaces
the previous Mini-M fax service. Using this service is
usually more cost effective compared to the 3.1 kHz audio
service.

May 2005 15
 Introduction Hardware Interfaces

2.5.1 Two Cradle/Handset interfaces

2

Cradle / Handset

The BDU has two 4 wire handset ports with RS-485 data
control. Each Handset can be used to set-up the terminal
and it can be used to make or receive phone calls utilizing
one of the following services:

• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• mini-M voice
• Distress call

Note: At present only one port (X4) is operational.

2.5.2 Three Analogue RJ11 interfaces


RJ11

The RJ11 ports as shown above can be used for connection

of analogue phones. For all interfaces the following services
can be used:

16 May 2005
Hardware Interfaces Introduction

• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• mini-M voice
• 9.6 kbit/s fax

The type of service used on each interface is independent

of each other and can be configured in the Routing menu.

2.5.3 ISDN interface


ISDN

This interface can be used for connection of ISDN

equipment – data as well as voice/picture based equipment
(phones, modems, terminal adapters, audio codecs, video
conferencing equipment, STE secure voice, etc.).

On F55 only one B-channel (1 x 64 kbit/s Data) and one D-

channel (control) is used.

The F77 optionally supports two B-channels (2 x 64 kbit/s

Data ). In order to enable this service you need to enter a
special PIN code. Please contact your supplier to retrieve a
pin code. As with other services the terminal needs to be
commissioned to this service (see section 2.2).

The terminal does not support dynamic switching between

one and two B-channels. The user needs to decide to use
one or two channels before establishing the call.

May 2005 17
 Introduction Hardware Interfaces

Please ensure when using only one B-channel that your

ISDN equipment is configured to support one B-channel
only.

The following services may be used on the ISDN interface:

• 128 kbit/s UDI (option on F77)

• 64 kbit/s UDI
2 • 56 kbit/s UDI
• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• mini-M voice

Like 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 MSN's. 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, 128 kbit/s, 64 kbit/s or 56 kbit/s) fit the
ISDN equipment.

Please note: When not using the 128 kbit/s service the
ISDN interface supports data transmission of one B-
channel at 64 or 56 kbit/s as opposed to two B-channels at
64 or 56 kbit/s available on the terrestrial ISDN network.

When using satellite equipment a delay is introduced due

to the satellite link. Not all standard ISDN devices are
equally good at coping with this.

18 May 2005
Hardware Interfaces Introduction

2.5.4 RS-232 interface

2

RS-232

The RS-232 interface is a standard 9-pin serial ports, with

a maximum port speed of 115.2 kbit/s. The interface
supports the following service types:

• MPDS service
• Configuration of the terminal via FleetCP software (See
section 5.1)
• Connection of a IP Router
• 64 kbit/s UDI using RS-232

When using the FleetCP program, the PC must be

connected to the RS-232 interface.

2.5.5 NMEA 0183/2000 interface


NMEA 0183/2000

The NMEA 0183/2000 is a Gyro and Navigation interface. It

serves as a backup, if an alternative antenna without self-
steering, has to be installed.

Use of PIN codes. Getting started

3.2 Use of PIN codes.

Access to some of the terminals functionalities are
restricted by a PIN code. Two different kinds of User PIN
codes are used in the system: One PIN for the Super User
and one for the Service User.

Common for both PIN types is that the length must be

between 4 and 8 digits and that they contain digits
between 0 and 9.

The normal everyday user (Normal User) can make and

receive calls, access the phonebook, choose an ocean
region and a default LES, read the alarm log and status
3
and make a call from the Helpdesk. For a description of
these functions see section 4.1 Menu System. All other
setup changes have to be carried out by a Super User or a
Service User.

Super User PIN

The Super User has the same rights as the Normal User. In
addition the Super User can access the Super User menu.
See section 4.3 for details. A Super User will typically be a
person responsible for setting up and maintaining the
system. It is only possible to have one Super User PIN
code. If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PIN
becomes blocked. A blocked Super User PIN, can only be
unblocked by a PUK code or the Service User. The factory
PIN code is ‘12345678’.

Service User PIN

The Service User has access to all functionality in the Fleet
system, which is accessible through the handset. Only T&T
and/or the supplier of the equipment normally know this
PIN. If the PIN is entered incorrectly 3 times, the PIN
becomes blocked. Only a PUK code can unblock a blocked
Service User PIN. For use of the service menu you are

May 2005 39
 Getting started Normal calls

referred to the “TT-3084A SAILOR Fleet77, TT-3086A

SAILOR Fleet55, Installation Manual”.

STU PIN and 128K PIN

Pin codes must be retrieved from your distributor in order
to enable the STU functionality (Secure Telephone Unit) or
the 128 kbit/s service. Please refer to section 4.3.26 and
5.1.2 to see how to enable the service.

3.3 Normal calls

3
3.3.1 Call from handset
Any call made from the system, uses a service type (mini-
M voice, Speech or 3.1 kHz audio).

The service type used for a call from the handset is the
service type configured as default for this handset and the
LES operator used will be the default LES operator.

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).

E.g. to dial the number of Thrane & Thrane (+45

39558800), press the number:
 for international calls  for country code then
, followed by  or . The
display on the terminal handset will show how the call
proceeds.

40 May 2005
Normal calls Getting started

You hang up by pressing . During and after a call, the

display will show how long the call lasted.

Example:

Connected:
00:01:59

The Phone Book can also be used to initiate a call, either by

selecting an entry in the phone book or by using the short
code. See section 4.2.1 for details.

3.3.2 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. This depends on whether you know which area the
terminal is within or not:

870: Area of terminal not known

(Requires that the LES support Mobility Management).

871: AORE
872: POR
873: IOR
874: AORW

To call the IMN-number on a terminal situated in IOR dial

00873 followed by the IMN number

May 2005 41
 Getting started Distress call

3.4 Distress call

Please note: The distress functionality is available on
Fleet77 systems only.

A distress call is an automated way of calling for help

(SOS). A distress call from the Fleet77 system is a voice
call, which means that the call will be connected to an
operator at the RCC (Rescue Co-ordination Center). When
the distress call is connected, the ships position and the
MES ID are sent to the RCC. This enables the center to
identify and locate the ship.
3
3.4.1 How to make a Distress call.
To initiate a Distress call, press and hold the Distress
button on the cradle. The button will flash with an interval
of 1 second and the cradle buzzer will beep with the same
interval. After 5 seconds, the button light will become
constant and the buzzer will stop beeping. Any ongoing
calls will be pre-empted, unless it is another Distress call.
During the preemption the handset display will show the
message ‘DISTRESS Wait’.

If the distress button is released within the 5 seconds, the

distress call will be canceled and the terminal will return to
its normal state.

After the preemption if any the handset will display the

message ‘Select LES’. Scroll through the LES list with the
 keys and select the LES by pressing . If a LES
is not selected within 15 seconds or one of the 2 keys
  is pressed, the call will be initiated through the
LES pre-configured in the "Distress LES". If no Distress LES
is configured, the Default LES will be used instead. If the

42 May 2005
Distress call Getting started

Default LES is also not configured, the NCS redirects the

call to an appropriate LES.

Note: If a Distress LES is not defined for each Ocean

Region, an alarm will appear and the entry ‘Distress
LES is not selected in all Ocean Regions’ will be
added to the alarm log.

To cancel the Distress mode, press and hold the ‘Distress

Stop’ button, after the button light becomes constant, but
before the 15 seconds timer runs out. The display will then
show ‘Distress Aborted’.

If the Distress call is continued, the handset will display 3

‘DISTRESS - Calling’. The call will be connected to the RCC,
the handset will display ‘DISTRESS - Connected’ and the
cradle LED ‘Priority call’ will light up. The user can now talk
to the RCC operator.

The ‘Distress’ button light will stay lit, until the call is
aborted.

3.4.2 Distress call failure.

If the Distress call fails to connect, due to a system
malfunction (BDU, ADU, satellite or terrestrial), the light on
the cradle ‘Distress’ button will turn off and the system will
return to a normal state.

3.4.3 Distress and Priority call to the ship

The RCC operator can generate a distress alert priority call
to the ship. The ‘Priority Call’ LED will start flashing on all
cradles and if the call has distress priority, the buzzer will
beep with 1 second intervals.

May 2005 43
 Getting started MPDS connection

Any calls with lower priority including MPDS sessions will

be pre-empted and a busy tone will be heard.

The distress and priority call is answered by picking up a

handset or by pressing  after which the ‘Priority Call’
LED will light steadily and the buzzer stops beeping.

The ‘Priority Call’ LED will turn off when the call is
terminated.

If the call is not answered by the ship, but terminated by

the RCC, the Alarm LED turns on to indicate that there was
an unanswered distress alert or priority call. Details about
3 the alarm can be checked in the alarm log.

3.5 MPDS connection

Please note: The MPDS service is only available on
Fleet55 systems when the vessel is positioned inside
an area with Spot Beam coverage. On Fleet77
systems the service is available in global beam.

Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) is a service that allows

the mobile user to remain “always connected” to the
Internet with billing based on the amount of data
transferred rather than the time spent online. This makes
the service an ideal and cost effective solution for
applications like Web browsing, email services, IP/LAN
connectivity and small to medium size file transfer. The
MPDS service provides a 64 kbit/s shared channel.

While in MPDS mode the TT-3084A is flagged busy in the

Inmarsat network. This means that the Fleet system is not
able to receive any incoming calls until it returns to normal
idle mode. However, the user can enable the Call Waiting
Notification feature. This allows the system to receive voice
calls during an ongoing MPDS call. For further information
about this feature, see section 3.5.1.

44 May 2005
MPDS connection Getting started

Paragraph 5.2.1 and 5.3 contains a description of how to

setup an MPDS connection using your PC.

3.5.1 Call waiting

As indicated in the previous section the user can enable the
Call Waiting Notification in order to receive incoming voice
calls during an MPDS session. The enabling can optionally
be restricted to specific phone numbers.

The 4-wire and 2-wires interfaces can be configured for

3
usage for the Call Waiting Notification. When the
notification arrives, the user is notified by a special ringing
tone and a message is shown in the display if the 4-wire
handset is selected for the service.

In case of an incoming call during an MPDS session with

the Call Waiting Notification enabled, the user has three
options:

1. The user can reject the pre-emption of the MPDS

connection by pressing “*” or “Exit” on the 4-wire
handset (if enabled) or by taking an enabled 2-wire
phone off hook, pressing “*” and placing the phone on
hook again. The ringing stops on all handsets that are
configured for the service.

2. The user can accept the pre-emption of the MPDS

connection by pressing “OK” or “#” on the 4-wire
handset (if enabled) or by taking an enabled 2-wire
phone off hook, pressing “#” and placing the phone on
hook again. The MPDS session is now deregistered and
the call gets through after a short while. The phone(s)
to which the call is routed starts ringing and the call
can be answered. Note that the call can be answered

May 2005 45
 Getting started ISDN Connection

on another interface than the interface that was used

to accept the call – e.g. a fax will normally only be
routed to a specific RJ11 connector and not the 4-wire
handset.

3. The user may also choose to do nothing. After a certain

time the notification stops and the pre-emption of the
MPDS connection is implicitly rejected, if no other lines
have accepted the notification.

Configuration of the Call Waiting notification is described in

paragraph 4.3.28.

3.6 ISDN Connection

Please note: The ISDN service is only available on

Fleet55 systems when the vessel is positioned inside
an area with Spot Beam coverage. On Fleet77
systems the services are available in global beam.

The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) enables a

bi-directional transmission of data to and from terrestrial
ISDN networks.

The Fleet55 and the generic Fleet77 supports a single B-

channel (1 x 64 kbit/s Data) and one D-channel (control).

The Fleet77 optionally supports two B-channels (2 x 64

kbit/s Data ). In order to enable this service a pin code is
needed. This pin code can be retrieved from your
distributor. As with other services the terminal needs to be
commissioned to the 128 kbit/s service.

46 May 2005
ISDN Connection Getting started

The terminal does not support dynamic switching between

one and two B-channels. The user needs to decide whether
to use one or two channels before establishing the call. The
Fleet77 128kbit/s service does not support mixed fixed and
mobile originated calls, mixed UDI and voice calls or the
ability to lay down one of the B channels dynamically.

For fixed originated calls, the terrestrial user is expected to

dial the same INM number twice for each of the 64kbit/s
calls.

Please refer to section 2.5.3 for additional information

about the ISDN interface.
3
The mobile ISDN service is charged by connection time
that makes the service feasible for transmissions that
require a large data throughput.

Section 5.2.2 contains a description of how to setup an

ISDN data connection on your PC.

• Handset #1
• RJ11 #1
• RJ11 #2
• RJ11 #3
• ISDN
• RS-232 #1
• USB
• Ethernet

Note 1: The IMN-number has to be defined, before

the service can be routed to an interface. The service
will not be listed in the routing table, unless it has an
IMN-number defined.

Note 2: Some users want the IMN number to reflect

the corresponding telephone number. In this case
the user should EDIT the default IMN number. The

list is empty).

When entering one of the above submenus it is possible to

scroll through a list of all relevant IMN-numbers for the
interface. In the handset menu, you will see all IMN’s
associated with voice: mini-M voice, Speech, 3.1 kHz
audio. The ISDN menu has the same, but in addition also
the services 64 Kbit/s and 56 Kbit/s and if enabled 2x64
Kbit/s and 2x56 Kbit/s. If an IMN has an incoming route to
an interface it is marked with “*”. If it has an outgoing
route to an interface, it is marked with a “#”. It is possible
to change the routing-status for each IMN to the opposite
by pressing  for incoming and  for outgoing.

It is possible to route one IMN to more interfaces. E.g. an

IMN can be routed to all three RJ11 interfaces at the same
time. This will make it possible, to have an incoming call
being routed to three 2-wire phones simultaneous.
