Introduction
The Inmarsat Fleet Service
Overview
The Inmarsat Fleet service is based on 4 Geostationary 3rd generation
satellites situated above the equator, but can also operate on the new 4th
generation satellites. Geostationary 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 making the service available in virtually all ocean
regions on the earth between approximately 70°N and 70°S.
The 4 Geostationary Inmarsat Satellites

The satellites are your connection to the worldwide networks, and they are
managed by the Network Coordination 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 is operated by
Land Earth Stations (LES). The LESs are run by different operators around the
world.

Services
The Inmarsat Fleet service supports the following services:
• High speed services
• 2 x 64 / 2 x 56 kbps data1
• 64 kbps data
• 56 kbps data
• Speech
• 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.

1. 128 kbps is only available on new F77 systems

4 The Inmarsat Fleet

 Chapter 2:

The above-mentioned services allow for a wide range of applications.

Examples are shown below.

Introduction
Important Before a terminal can be used on the network, it has to be
commissioned by one of the Inmarsat Service Providers
(ISPs). 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.
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, meaning you must always dial the
country code.

The Inmarsat Fleet 5

Chapter 2:

Service explanation
The low speed services have a lower tariff than the high speed services,
because the high speed services are high quality audio or high speed
data services that require more bandwidth.
• The 128 kbps UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information) service enables 2 x 64
kbps or 2 x 56 kbps bidirectional transmission of data to and from
terrestrial ISDN networks
• The 64 kbps UDI (Unrestricted Digital Information) service enables the
bidirectional transmission of data to and from terrestrial 64 kbps ISDN
networks. The 56 kbps UDI service is similarly used to make a connection
to 56 kbps ISDN networks, which are primarily used in North America.
• The Speech and 3.1 kHz audio services make it possible to establish
high quality analogue connections of a 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 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 kbps and consequently reduces the cost.
• The 9.6 kbit Fax allows you to send and receive fax messages 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.

 Chapter 2:

Three Analogue RJ11 interfaces

Introduction
RJ11

The RJ11 ports shown above can be used for connection of analogue phones. For
all interfaces the following services can be used:
• Speech
• 3.1 kHz audio
• Mini-M voice
• 9.6 kbps fax
The type of service used on each interface is independent of each other and
can be configured in the Routing menu.

Hardware 1
Chapter 2:

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 kbps Data) and one D-channel (control) is
used.
The F77 optionally supports two B-channels (2 x 64 kbps 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 the section The Inmarsat Fleet
Service on page 3).
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.
When using only one B-channel, please ensure that your ISDN equipment is
configured to support one B-channel only.
The following services may be used on the ISDN interface:
• 128 kbps UDI (option on F77)
• 64 kbps UDI
• 56 kbps 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

1 Hardware
 Chapter 2:

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

Introduction
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 and service type (speech, 3.1 kHz audio, 128 kbps, 64 kbps or
56 kbps) fit the ISDN equipment.

Note When the 128 kbps service is not used, the ISDN interface supports
data transmission of one B-channel at 64 or 56 kbps as opposed to
two B-channels at 64 or 56 kbps 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.

RS-232 interface

RS-232

The RS-232 interface is a standard 9-pin serial ports, with a maximum port
speed of 115.2 kbps. The interface supports the following service types:
• MPDS service
• Configuration of the terminal via FleetCP software (See the section System
set-up using FleetCP on page 93)
• Connection of an IP Router
• 64 kbps UDI using RS-232
When using the FleetCP program, the PC must be connected to the RS-232
interface.

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 with no self-steering function has to be
installed.

Note The NMEA 0183/2000 interface is currently not supported.

Discrete I/O interface

Introduction
Discrete I/O

The transceiver also has a discrete I/O interface, containing 4 configurable

input/output.
Each input/output pin can be configured to one of these functions:
As input types: TxOffIn, RSOffIn
As output types: TxOffOut, RSOffOut, TxActiveOut

TxOffIn Input activates TxOff functionality.

: Input activates Radio Silence functionality.
RSOffIn
: Output indicates that TxOff is active.
Output indicates that Radio Silence is active.
TxOffOut:
RSOffOut Output indicates that Transmit is active.
:
TxActiveOut:

Each input or output pin can be configured as either active high or low.
TxOff (Transmit Off):
When this function is active the terminal will stop all transmission from the
antenna by terminating the call as it is normally done. Distress alarms from
ship or from land will be allowed.
RS (Radio Silence):
This function has higher priority than the Transmit-Off function. If this function
is active any transmission from the antenna will be blocked. Even distress calls
in both directions will be prohibited.
Both functions can only be activated by the discrete I/O pins. The pins have to
be configured from the Super User menu, which can only be accessed by
entering a password.

Use of PIN codes.

Overview
Access to some of the functions is restricted by a PIN code. Two different kinds

Getting started
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 phone book, choose an ocean region and a default LES, read the
alarm log and status and make a call from the Helpdesk. For a description
of these functions see Menu System on page 49. All other setup changes
have to be carried out by a Super User or a Service User.

Use of PIN 3
Chapter 3: Getting

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 Super User functions on page
64 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 is 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 Fleet system functionality that 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 is blocked. Only a PUK code
can unblock a blocked Service User PIN.
For use of the service menu, please refer 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 kbps service. Please refer to
Additional Features on page 87 and Pin codes on page 95 to see how to
enable the service.

Normal calls
Call from handset
Any call made from the system uses a service type (Mini-M voice, Speech or

Getting started
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).
For example, to dial the number of Thrane & Thrane (+45 39558800), press
the number:
00 for international calls, 45 for country code then 39558800, followed
#
by or . The display on the terminal handset will show how the
call proceeds.

Hang up by pressing . During and after a call, the display will show
how long the call lasted.
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 Call using phone
book on page 60 for details.

Calling the terminal

Calling the terminal or a device connected to the terminal is similar to making
international calls. The specific IMN-number1 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 supports 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

1. A terminal may have more IMN numbers, because different services exist
and more devices may be connected to the different hardware interfaces of
the terminal.

Distress call
Introduction
Note

Getting started
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 Coordination Center). When the
distress call is connected, the ship’s position and the MES ID are sent to the
RCC. This enables the center to identify and locate the ship.

To make a Distress call.

To initiate a Distress call, do as follows:

1. Press and hold the Distress button on the cradle.

The button will flash with intervals of 1 second and the cradle buzzer will
beep with the same interval. After 5 seconds, the button light becomes
constant and the buzzer stops beeping. Any ongoing call is preempted,
unless it is a Distress call. During the preemption the handset display
shows the message ‘DISTRESS Wait’.
If the distress button is released within the 5 seconds, the distress call
is canceled and the terminal returns to its normal state.
2. Release the Distress button when the light in the button becomes constant.
After the preemption, if any, the handset shows the message ‘Select

LES’. Scroll through the LES list with the and keys and
OK
select the LES by pressing .
#
If you do not select a LES nor press or within 15 seconds, 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 no Default LES is configured, the NCS redirects the call to an
appropriate LES.

Distress 4
Chapter 3: Getting

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 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. You can now make the Distress call
3. Use the handset to talk to the RCC operator.
The ‘Distress’ button light will stay on until the call is aborted.

Distress call failure.

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

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. Any calls
with lower priority, including MPDS sessions, are preempted and a busy
tone is heard.
Answer the distress and priority call 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 is turned 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 the alarm can be checked in the alarm log.

MPDS connection
Introduction
Note

Getting started
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 also 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 kbps 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 Call waiting on page 45.
The sections Setting up MPDS over RS-232 on page 104 and Setup using
Ethernet/PPPoE on page 128 contain descriptions of how to setup an MPDS
connection using your PC.

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-wire interfaces can be configured for 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:

MPDS 4
Chapter 3: Getting

• The user can reject the preemption of the MPDS connection by pressing
* Exit
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 ringing stops on all handsets that are configured
for the service.
• The user can accept the preemption 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 to which the call is routed starts ringing and
the call can be answered. Note that the call can be answered 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.
• The user may also choose to do nothing. After a certain time the
notification stops and the preemption of the MPDS connection is implicitly
rejected, if no other lines have accepted the notification.
Configuration of the Call Waiting notification is described in Call Waiting
Notification on page 89.

ISDN Connection
Introduction
Note

Getting started
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 also available in global beam.
Though 128K can not be guaranteed by INMARSAT.
The Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) enables a bidirectional
transmission of data to and from terrestrial ISDN networks.
The mobile ISDN service is charged by connection time. That makes the service
feasible for transmissions that require a large data throughput.
The section Setting up ISDN on page 111 contains a description of how to setup
an ISDN data connection on your PC.

Supported services
The Fleet55 and the generic Fleet77 support a single B-channel (1 x 64 kbps
Data) and one D-channel (control).
The Fleet77 optionally supports two B-channels (2 x 64 kbps 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 kbps service.
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 128 kbps service does not support mixed
fixed and mobile originated calls, mixed UDI and voice calls nor the ability
to close 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 64kbps calls.
Please refer to ISDN interface on page 16 for additional information about the
ISDN interface.

The Routing menu is used to associate the services with one or more
interfaces. The menu has been divided into a number of submenus – one for
each interface:
• Handset #1
• Handset #2
• RJ11 #1
• RJ11 #2
• RJ11 #3
• ISDN
• RS-232 #1
• USB

IMN numbers

Note 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 Some users want the IMN number to reflect the corresponding
telephone number. In this case the user should EDIT the default IMN
number. The INSERT function is only for adding additional
IMN numbers. (or for creating the first IMN in case the list is
empty).

Operation
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 IMNs associated with voice: Mini-M voice, Speech, 3.1 kHz audio.
The ISDN menu has the same, but in addition also the services 64 kbps
and
56 kbps and, if enabled, 2x64 kbps and 2x56 kbps.

Changing routing status

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.

Routing an IMN to more interfaces

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 enable an incoming call
to be routed to three 2-wire phones simultaneously.

Because of the built-in GPS, the antenna is capable of finding the
satellite within a few seconds. However, a heading of the ship is also
needed. Because the GPS does not supply the antenna with this
information, you must enter a relative angle of the antenna compared to
the ships bow. Valid angles are 0(REAR), 90(PORT), 180(BOW), and
270(STARBOARD) deg, positive in a

Setting up MPDS over RS-232

MPDS hardware connection

The illustration below shows typical hardware setup for an MPDS data
connection.

For an MPDS session, connect an RS-232 cable between the COM port of the
computer and the COM ports on the Fleet system. The COM port on the Fleet
system is marked X10.
This setup procedure is intended for PCs running a MS-Windows operating
system.
The PC communicates with the transceiver as if it were a modem. Connect the
transceiver to a COM port via a standard RS-232 cable.

Configuring the TT-3084A, TT-3084B & TT-3086A

The transceiver has to be configured for the right ocean region and LES
operator that provides the MPDS service. This is done using the handset user
interface.
