2 Introduction

2.1 The Inmarsat Fleet Service

The Inmarsat Fleet service is based on 4 Geo-stationary 3rd 2
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
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 76°N and 76°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 when a call is made.

A Land Earth Station Operator (LESO) runs the gateway

between the public network and the satellites. Different
operators around the world run the various LES’s.

Apr 2004 3
 Introduction The Inmarsat Fleet Service

The Fleet services are prepared for operation with the next
generation of Inmarsat satellites (Inm-IV) expected in
2005. The services, which allow for a wide range of
applications, supported by the Inmarsat Fleet
encompasses:

• Circuit switched services:

2 •
•
Mini M voice call (Global)
9.6 kbps data (Spot beam only)
• 9.6 kbps fax (Spot beam only)
• Packet switched services
• 64/28 kbps MPDS (Spot beam only)

(cf. Appendix B for a map on global and spot beam

coverage).

Service explanation:

The 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 9.6 kbps fax service is a service that enables G3 fax

machines employing one of the modem standards: V.27 or
V.29.

The 9.6 kbps data service allows you to establish a 9.6

kbps circuit switched data connection employing the
modem standard: V.24.

The 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

4 Apr 2004
The Inmarsat Fleet Service Introduction

rate”. The channel is a shared channel i.e. the transmission

speed may be reduced when other users are using the
same channel. The channel to be shared among the users
has a capacity of 64 kbps in the direction to the terminal,
and from the terminal the channel to be shared among the
users has a capacity of 28 kbps.

Important notice: Before a terminal can be used on the

network, it has to be commissioned by one of the Inmarsat 2
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 3 circuit switched services
are commissioned on your terminal, you will have 3 IMN
numbers.

Calling an Inmarsat Fleet 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 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 is equal to

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

system is ready to make and receive calls.

3.1.2 How to Shut Down the System.

Note: To make sure that writing to the configuration
module is completed, please wait at least 10 seconds
after any changes to the configuration, before
shutting the system down.

To shut down the system from the handset, you press the
 button for 3 sec. The display now shows that if you
press the key for further 4 sec the terminal will power
down. The display counts down to zero, but by releasing
the button any time before it reaches zero, you may abort
the power down procedure.

Apr 2004 23
 Getting Started Use of PIN Codes.

To shut down the system from the transceiver press and

hold the power button for a few seconds, until the handset
display shows the message shown below.


Thrane F33
Goodbye

Let go of the button and the system will shut down.

Note: After a shut down please wait at least 5

3 seconds, before trying to power up the system again.

3.2 Use of PIN Codes.

Access to some terminal functionality is restricted by PIN
codes. Two different kinds of User PIN codes are used by
the system: One PIN for the Super User and one for the
Service User.

For both PIN types the length must be between 4 and 8

digits and they must contain digits between 0 and 9.

The normal everyday user (Normal User) can make and

receive calls, access the phonebook, chose an ocean region
and a default LES, read the alarm log and status and make
calls from the Helpdesk. For a description of these
functions refer to section 4.3 “Menu System”. All other
functionality has to be carried out by a Super User or a
Service User.

Super User
The Super User has the same rights as the Normal User. In
addition the Super User can access the Super User menu
(see section 4.4 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

24 Apr 2004
Normal Calls Getting Started

code. If the code is entered incorrectly 5 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 will normally know
this PIN. If the PIN is entered incorrectly 5 times, the PIN
becomes blocked. Only a PUK code can unblock a blocked
Service User PIN. Refer to the “TT-3088A Capsat Fleet33
Installation Manual” for the use of the service menu. 3
3.3 Normal Calls

3.3.1 Calling From the TT-3088A

When making calls from a handset or from a fax keypad
just type in the phone number as if you were making an
international call (with prefix for automatic international
calls equal to 00).

Example:

To dial the number of Thrane & Thrane (+45 39558800),

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

 Getting Started Normal Calls

You hang up by pressing . After hanging up, the display

will show how long the call lasted.


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 4.1.1 for details.

3.3.2 Calling To the TT-3088A
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

3.4 Data Calls

3.4.1 MPDS Connection

The Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) provides the
mobile user with an economic and flexible data connection.
The user is only charged by the transferred traffic (in MB).
This means that for applications like Web browsing, email
services, IP/LAN connectivity, small to medium size file
transfer, the MPDS will be the most economic and
convenient solution. The maximum data transfer rate is 64 3
kbit/s to the terminal and 28 kbps from the terminal.

A connection can be started automatically by an application

like Internet Explorer or Outlook Express. The connection
can also be established manually. In windows, open Dial-
Up networking and double click the appropriate icon. Enter
username and password if necessary. Click ‘Connect’. Wait
for the connection to be completed, indicated by a ‘Dial-up
Networking’ icon in the task bar tray.

To disconnect: Right click the tray icon and choose

‘Disconnect’.

See section 5.2.1 on how to setup the computer and

transceiver for an MPDS connection.

Please note that while in MPDS mode the TT-3088A is

flagged busy in the Inmarsat network, i.e. it is not able to
receive any calls, until it returns to normal idle mode.
However you may have a “Call Waiting Notification” if the
terminal is configured for the feature and supported by
your service provider.

3.4.2 9600 Data Connection

9.6 kbps data is a circuit switched service, i.e. you have
the 9.6 kbps speed all the time, and you pay for the time
you are connected. This service will be the most economic
solution for batch data transfers.

The connection can be established manually. In windows,

open Dial-Up networking and double click the appropriate
icon. Enter username and password if necessary. Click
‘Connect’. Wait for the connection to be completed,
indicated by a ‘Dial-up Networking’ icon in the task bar
3 tray.

To disconnect: Right click the tray icon and choose

‘Disconnect’.

See section 5.2.2 on how to setup the computer and

transceiver for a 9.6 kbps data connection.

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
INSERT function is only for adding additional IMN
numbers (or for creating the first IMN in case the list
is empty).

When entering one of the above submenus it is possible to 4

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: i.e. mini-M voice. 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 both RJ11 interfaces at the same
time. This will make it possible, to have an incoming call
being routed to two 2-wire phones simultaneous.

Menu System - Super User Operation

This menu is used to select a list of LES operators. It

contains the following sub menus:

• Default LES
• PreferredLES
• Reset LES

The Default LES list contains a list of those LES operators,

which may be selected as gateway to the terrestrial
network. The last used LES will be marked with * and this
LES will also be the first LES tried next time the terminal is
logged on. If there's no LES list selected under Allowed or
Preferred LES, the Default LES list will contain the LES list
from the satellite bulletin board, meaning all available LES
in the selected Ocean region. Use  and  to select
a Ocean region and then a LES.

You may also edit the LES names in the “Default LES” list.
Press  to start editing the selected name. You may
4
clear the name by pressing .

An Allowed LES list can be selected under the Service

User menu. If an Allowed LES list exists, only the LES's in
this list can be selected under Default and Preferred LES.
An Allowed LES list contains all available LES operators in
the selected ocean region. Those operators marked with *
can be used as Default LES operators and thus appears in
the Default LES list above. If all LES operators are allowed
and can be used there are no markings.

As there are many operators, you can use PreferredLES

to make selections easier. The Preferred LES list can be
used to indicate in which order LES operators should
appear on the Default LES list. This is done by pressing
 for each LES intended to be on the list and in the
order they should appear in the Default LES list. Press 
to update the preferred LES list. To remove a LES from the
list, press  and then  to update the list.
