2.3 SIM card

The SIM card carries subscription information from your Net service provider on
an integrated circuit. The FELCOM 70 used with the SIM card assumes the
identity of the SIM card.
The SIM card has its own set of Inmarsat Mobile Numbers (IMN) on which the
user can be contacted irrespective of the FELCOM 70 used. All outgoing calls
will be billed to the owner of the SIM card.
The SIM card is protected by a SIM PIN (Personal Identification Number).
Contact your Net service provider if you do not have the PIN code.
If the PIN code entered does not match the PIN code on the SIM card, operation
with that particular SIM card will lock-up after three failed attempts. You must
then use the SIM un-block code (PUK code) provided by your Net service
provider to un-lock the card. Contact your Net service provider if you do not have
the PUK code.
Note: When the PUK is used, the SIM PIN is set to 1 2 3 4.
To change or disable the PIN code, see "5.3 Access level" later in this manual.
The SIM card can store various information, e.g.:
• PIN code (Personal Identification Number)
• Phone book
• Allowed and preferred Net service providers
Note: FELCOM 70 can be used with or without SIM card. The Net service
provider, however, sometimes requires the use of SIM card.
The SIM card driver is located on the upper end of the Communication Unit, see
page 2-2. The cover must be removed to access the card slot. The cover is
attached by two serrated screws. No tools are required to loosen the screws.
Note: Turn on the power, wait for the indication “Ready for call”, and then insert
the SIM card. If the ship’s mains are turned off instantaneously, eject the
SIM card and turn the power off and on again.

2.4 FELCOM 70 starts up

At start-up FELCOM 70 performs system initialization and then search for a
satellite (expect a wait of about 30 seconds after power on).
Note: The Ocean Region used the last time the system was in operation will be
searched for.
Available Ocean Regions:
・ Atlantic Ocean Region East (AOR-E)

・ Atlantic Ocean Region West (AOR-W)
・ Indian Ocean Region (IOR)
・ Pacific Ocean Region (POR)
After completed the start-up sequence the FELCOM 70
enters idle mode.
See “3.2 Satellite Search” on how to initiate a manual
search.
If required, see “3.4 Selecting Default Net Service

Provider” in the HANDSET FUNCTIONS section.

3.2 Satellite search

Some geographic locations allow contact with more than one Ocean Region
satellite. It is recommended to choose an Ocean Region satellite providing
sufficient signal quality in order to have the selected services available. In
general, this requires that not less than 5 segments (70%) of the signal strength
bar are dark when in idle mode.
Both an automatic search for a satellite in any Ocean Region and a search for a
satellite within a specific Ocean Region may be initiated. A search within a
specific Ocean Region may be useful in order to find a satellite with better signal
quality than the current satellite found by an automatic search.
The “Satellite Coverage Map and the Coverage Map for Each Region” found on
the next page may be used to select a specific Ocean Region to search for. For
the latest edition of these maps, see http://maritime.inmarsat.com
Possible Ocean Regions are:

Atlantic Ocean Region West: (AOR-W)
Atlantic Ocean Region East: (AOR-E)
Pacific Ocean Region: (POR)
Indian Ocean Region: (IOR)
The options Region 4 to Region 7 are not used.
Select an Ocean Region Automatically

1. Select Menu from idle screen to open the main menu.
2. Select OK (Sat Search is the first option of the main menu).
3. Select OK (Select all is the first option of the Sat. Search menu).
The elevation to use is calculated based on the received GPS information.
If no satellite signal is found in any Ocean Region, a hemispheric search is
performed at an elevation varying from 0° to 90°.
Select Specific Ocean Region

2. Select OK (Sat. Search is the first option of the main menu).
3. Use and to highlight (indicated by the sign “>”) the desired Ocean
Region, and select OK.

5.7.1 Restricted dialing
The restricted dialing function allows the owner to establish a Barred list of
subscriber numbers that cannot be called; or set FELCOM 70 for dialing from
Phone Book only. The restricted dialing modes prevent misuse of FELCOM 70.
• Barred list, which may contain up to 10 phone numbers or part of numbers
that can not be called. E.g. the entry "0087" in the barred list prevents all
mobile-to-mobile calls.
• Dial from Book only, which restricts calls to the numbers in FELCOM 70
Phone Book. It is still possible to append: an entry with number field "0047"
means that it is possible to dial all Norwegian numbers.
When a SIM card is inserted, the SIM entries will not be merged with the
"phone" entries. The function is active for non-SIM operation and for one
specific SIM card. See "5.7.4 Restricted SIM usage".

When the access code function has been activated, the user is always prompted
for a 1-8 digit personal code when making a call.
All telephones are activated. To release a telephone for use without access code,
see “5.13 MSN configuration”. Entering the personal code allows the
subscriber number to be dialed, e.g.:

Note 1: Dial input cannot be corrected by DEL key when an access code has
been set. When you misdialed on an ISDN Handset, hook it on once
and then repeat the call initiation procedures from inputting an access
code. Once an access code has been set, the dialing signal from the
Handset is sent to the mobile terminal with each key input (the same as
when dialing from an analog telephone). Therefore, correction by DEL
key is not possible.
• Note 2: For old type handset, Phone Book key is unavailable when
access code has been set. When an access code has been set, utilize a
prefixed call “23XX#” (XX: registered number on Phone Book). Phone
Book key does not work by the same reason as above.

5.12 Routing of incoming calls

When applying for IMN numbers, a Terminal Id (OID/DID) is received from the
Net service provider. All devices connected to FELCOM 70 can make outgoing
calls. For incoming calls it must be assured that the Terminal Ids and MSN
numbers configured are as commissioned.
To make an incoming call reach a particular device, an MSN number and the
Terminal Id "connected" to the IMN number must be programmed into the
Communication Unit (CU). See later in this manual.
The table below lists valid MSN numbers for the available ISDN services.
Numbers to be programmed:
In ISDN device: In Communication Unit:
MSN number MSN number and Terminal Id
(the Terminal Id is paired with a specific IMN number)
For an easy start, the some Terminal Ids and MSN numbers have been
preprogrammed into the CU (marked with a star in the table).
In the 4.8 kbps speech and 3.1 kHz audio columns of the ISDN PORTS table the
Term.Id is represented by an X, allowing an ISDN Term.Id to be used for
analogue ports.
Note: A Term.Id already entered is not accepted.
5-31
Routing of incoming calls (examples)

The table below illustrates the use of appropriate Terminal Ids for the various
services combined with examples incoming IMN numbers.
* Preprogrammed, see table on previous page.
Note: If the Net service provider does not specify which Terminal Id should be
used with the various IMN numbers, select Term. Id no.1 for the first 4.8
kbps telephone, then no. 2 for the second phone. Use the same principle
for the other type services. It is advisable to note down the selections.

6. DATA COMMUNICATION
6.1 Mobile Packet Data Service (RS-232)
6.1.1 Introduction
The Mobile Packet Data Service complies with the communication protocol
defined by the Inmarsat F77 system.
The transmission data rate over the satellite link is typically 20 kbps (a 64 kbps
channel is shared with other users).
Switching between MPDS and Mobile ISDN service is done from the PC.
The PC must have Windows XP or Windows Vista installed.
With MPDS you only pay for the amount of data received or transmitted, rather
than for the time you are connected.
MPDS can be efficient for applications that involves brief bursts of
communication followed by periods of inactivity, such as:
• E-mail
• Internet/intranet
• Navigational updates
• Scada
• Database queries
• E-commerce
• VPN - Virtual Private Network
Land
Earth
Station,
LES
R
FELCOM 70 LES
SBS (Shared Base Station) assigns channels to SBS

the MPDS user and handles the MPDS
communication. Terminals in MPDS mode share
PC w/Windows data channels with other users.
2000 or later RLES (Regional Land Earth Station) sets terminal
in MPDS list. A terminal can not receive a voice Home
call when in MPDS mode. Internet
LES
Home LES (Home Land Earth Station) gives
access to MPDS service like Internet/e-mail. It
also handles the MPDS biling system.

In the Traffic Log window:

MPDS: note that this information is
included for information only and
should not be used e.g. for billing
purposes. It contains some of the
information also indicated in the
"Real Time" status indications, and
can be usefull to pinpoint any
potential problem during a call. A
low C/No < 535, will most likely
give many retransmissions on the
sattelite link. You should see this in
the number of Srej TX and RX
being higher than normal.
Press [→] key.
6-24
6.1.7 AT-commands
The commands listed below are performed automatically with the dial string
**94#, but can be useful for advanced debugging of the MPDS system (e.g. SBS
and HLES):
A T + W L E S = X X X R
selects Net Provider (XXX = LES access code) for the serial port used.
Example:
A T + W L E S = 0 0 4 R
selects Telenor: 004
A T + W N E R A M P D S M S N =
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 . . . . R
sets and retrieves MPDS MSN.
Up to 22 digits are supported and the value is immediately saved to flash. The
value is not used and is only provided for information.
A T + W R E G = 1 R
registers the user with the default Net Service Provider.

This command will make the terminal register at the R-LES only, i.e. the terminal
will not be connected to the Internet. In many cases when the MPDS system
does not work it is important to verify whether the fault is in the SBS, RLES or
HLES.
If this command is performed via e.g. Hyperterminal and you get the prompt
Registered, then the fault is probably located in the H-LES.
If you do not get registered, your mobile is either rejected because of limited
SBS resources or your mobile is not registered (commissioned) in the RLES.
A T + W R E G = 0 R
deregisters the user.
A T + W S 4 5 = 4 R
sets the FELCOM 70 terminal in MPDS mode.

This is implicitly done when using the **94# dial string. This command will make
the FELCOM 70 terminal Register at the RLES when the Windows
dial Up adapter sets up a PPP connection to the H-LES (Internet).
A T + W S 4 5 = 1 R
sets the FELCOM 70 terminal back to Normal mode (UDI) mode.
Note: Local echo of keyboard entries is set to ON with the commands:

A T E 1 R
6-25
Note that all the above commands are not required if you use the Dial String
**94# to select MPDS; all other Dial Strings will use SCPC.
It is included for information only. However when you are not able to establish
the Dial Up Adapter, the "FURUNO" procedure has been to try the At+Wreg=1 ,
in order to verify whether or not this has been a SBS or RLES problem.
Verifying MPDS with AT-commands

Access to AT-commands
Instead of using the PC hyperterminal facility, access can easily be
accomplished using SAILOR vtLite, or using Hyperterminal.
Start vtLite again:

You can now key in at+wreg=1 from vtLite:
REGISTERED : MPDS is operational

FAILED : MPDS is not operational.
Verify that MPDS is available for
your terminal. See function 99,
Customization > Paid functions.
If necessary, check that MPDS
has been commissioned at your
Net Service provider.

Check that no other application for example hyperterminal or vtLite is using the
serial port and check that the serial cable is properly connected between the PC
and the terminal.
The MPDS real time status display starts but the connection fails to establish
before timing out.
Start hyperterminal or another terminal emulator so AT commands can be
entered to the terminal.
First check the LES being used AT+WLES? The terminal will reply with the LES
access code being used. If this is not what you expect change the value with
AT+WLES=xxx and save the new value with AT&W now check that it is possible
to access the MPDS service by entering AT+WREG=1.
The real time status display should show “Allocating” “Tuning” and finally
“Registered”
If instead you see “Failed” “Inactive” then the terminal has not been able to
connect to the MPDS service with the given access code.
The result of the registration attempt is also shown to the AT interface.
If registration worked then deregister with AT+WREG=0.
The registration attempt succeeds but connection attempts fail

Check that the max speed of the modem that was setup is 115200bps.

Fault finding
After starting the connection as described above one should see:
a) The dial up networking connection dialogue shows the normal progression of
“dialing” “verifying user name and password” and “registering your computer
on the network”
b) The real time status indication on the terminal should show “Registering” then
“Registered”
c) Once a “Connect” has been received from the host the Modem display/ISDN
Handset will show “Connected”.
d) The connection should be established and usable after the completion of
PPP negotiation.

6.2 Mobile Packet Data Service (USB)

6.2.1 Introduction
The Mobile Packet Data Service complies with the communication protocol
defined by the Inmarsat Fleet F77 system.
The transmission data rate over the satellite link is typically 20 kbps (a 64 kbps
channel is shared with other users).
Switching between MPDS and Mobile ISDN service is done from the PC.
The PC must have Win 2000 or Win XP installed.
With MPDS you only pay for the amount of data received or transmitted, rather
than for the time you are connected.
MPDS can be efficient for applications that involves brief bursts of
communication followed by periods of inactivity, such as:
• E-mail
• Internet/intranet
• Navigational updates
• Scada
• Database queries
• E-commerce
• VPN - Virtual Private Network

switched call types.
Clicking the right arrow key
expands the level of detail on
entries listed. C/No
In the Traffic Log window:

MPDS: note that this information is
included for information only and
should not be used e.g. for billing
purposes. It contains some of the
information also indicated in the
"Real Time" status indications, and
can be usefull to pinpoint any
potential problem during a call. A
low C/No, < 535, will most likely
give many retransmissions on the
sattelite link. You should see this in
the number of Srej TX and RX
being higher than normal.
6-51
6.2.8 AT-commands
The commands listed below are performed automatically with the dial string
**94#, but can be useful for advanced debugging of the MPDS system (e.g. SBS
and HLES):
selects Net Provider (XXX = LES access code) for the serial port used.
Example:
A T + W L E S = 0 0 4 R
selects Telenor: 004
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 . . . . R
A T + W R E G = 1 R
registers the user with the default Net Service Provider.

This command will make the terminal register at the R-LES only, i.e. the terminal
will not be connected to the Internet. In many cases when the MPDS system
does not work it is important to verify whether the fault is in the SBS, RLES or
HLES.
If this command is performed via e.g. Hyperterminal and you get the prompt
Registered, then the fault is probably located in the H-LES.
If you do not get registered, your mobile is either rejected because of limited
SBS resources or your mobile is not registered (commissioned) in the RLES.
A T + W R E G = 0 R
deregisters the user.
A T + W S 4 5 = 4 R
sets the FELCOM 70 terminal in MPDS mode.

This is implicitly done when using the **94# dial string. This command will make
the FELCOM 70 terminal Register at the RLES when the Windows
dial Up adapter sets up a PPP connection to the H-LES (Internet).
A T + W S 4 5 = 1 R
sets the FELCOM 70 terminal back to Normal mode (SCPC HSD) mode.
Note: Local echo of keyboard entries is set to ON with the commands:

A T E 1 R
Note that all the above commands are not required if you use the Dial String
**94# to select MPDS; all other Dial Strings will use SCPC.
6-52
It is included for information only. However when you are not able to establish
the Dial Up Adapter, the "FURUNO" procedure has been to try the At+Wreg=1 ,
in order to verify whether or not this has been a SBS or RLES problem.
Verifying MPDS with AT-commands

Instead of using the PC hyperterminal facility, access can easily be
accomplished using SAILOR vtLite, or using Hyperterminal.
Start vtLite again:

You can now key in at+wreg=1 from vtLite:
REGISTERED : MPDS is operational

FAILED : MPDS is not operational.
Verify that MPDS is available for
your terminal. See function 99,
Customization > Paid functions.
If necessary, check that MPDS
has been commissioned at your

before timing out.
Start hyperterminal or another terminal emulator so AT commands can be
entered to the terminal.
First check the LES being used AT+WLES? The terminal will reply with the LES
access code being used. If this is not what you expect change the value with
AT+WLES=xxx and save the new value with AT&W now check that it is possible
to access the MPDS service by entering AT+WREG=1.
The real time status display should show “Allocating” “Tuning” and finally
“Registered”
If instead you see “Failed” “Inactive” then the terminal has not been able to

6.3.7 AT commands
General
The AT command set allows you to configure the Mobile Data Service function
directly from your PC keyboard.
The AT characters are a prefix to the commands you issue to the Mobile Data
Service.
Most communication applications do not require knowledge of AT commands.
Every time you type AT, you are essentially asking for the Mobile Data Service’s
ATtention. For instance, if you want to answer an incoming data call, you would
type ATA to answer: ATA R
When a value associated with a command is not entered, it is assumed to be 0,
f.ex.: A T & D equals A T & D 0 .
Hanging up – escape sequence

Once the Mobile Data Service is online to another system, the only command it
recognizes is an escape code that contains three typed pluses, (+) which forces
the Mobile Data Service back to command mode.
The following should be done, when issuing the escape command:
• Wait one second after sending the last item of data.

• Type + + + with less than one second between the characters.
• Wait one second, an "OK" response should appear.
Do not type the AT prefix or Carriage Return. The guard time of one second
before and after the code prevents the Mobile Data Service from misinterpreting
the occurrence of +++ in the transmitted data stream.
If necessary, the character used in the escape code or the duration of the guard
time can be changed by altering Register S2 or S12, see S-register
commands.
• In response to + + +
, the Mobile Data Service returns to command mode.
• To hang up, key A T H R
• To return to online mode, key A T O R
6-78
Operating modes
The Mobile Data Service function may operate in three modes:
• Command mode
The Mobile Data Service responds to AT commands. No remote
communication occurs.
• Online command mode
A data call is taking place and an escape sequence has been initiated, after
which the Mobile Data Service will respond to AT commands during the call.
• Online data mode
Once the Mobile Data Service is connected up, anything arriving from the PC
is interpreted as data and sent to the remote end and vice versa.
Basic AT commands
Note: AT commands may be entered in either upper or lower case (not mixed).
A T A R
instructs the Mobile Data Service to connect the line and start the answer
sequence of the incoming call.
Used when not configured for auto answer.
A T D 0 0 4 7 6 7 2 4 4 7 0 0 R

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
7.3 Throughput
In case of low throughput in data communication
In the Inmarsat satellite line, approximately 240ms delay time occurs. The delay
causes the throughput of the TCP/IP protocol in the satellite line to go lower than
the terrestrial line. In this case, if you change the window size of the TCP, the
throughput may improve.
The window size of the TCP can be changed in the registry of Windows OS.
However, wrong setting of the registry may cause fatal error. Therefore, we
recommend that you use the following software which changes only the registry
concerned with the TCP.
Example: Dr.TCP http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp/
Note: FURUNO assumes no responsibility or liability for this software. Be sure to

backup the registry BEFORE changing it.
The method required to change window size may differ depending on OS or

router.
About throughput variation

Throughput variation, resulting from time delay, may occur when TCP/IP protocol
is used on the satellite line.
Throughput variation occurs when the load on a server used by a terrestrial
client fluctuates greatly because many clients are accessing the server at the
same time. Additionally, it may occur depending on the terminal adapter pairing
between mobile and terrestrial clients.

9. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Inmarsat Fleet F77
The Inmarsat Fleet F77 system provides a truly portable 64 kbps ISDN
communications service for data and voice transmissions to and from
mobile/fixed subscribers anywhere within the worldwide coverage of the
Inmarsat 3 spot Beam system, see map later in the Service Guide.
The benefit of the INMARSAT system is its high capacity, and the rapid and
reliable connection between the land based (fixed) users and the Mobile Earth
Stations (MESs).
Each satellite region is under the control of a Network Coordinating Station

(NCS), which controls and monitors the traffic between the MESs and the LESs.
NCS: Network Coordinating Station, one in each Ocean Region (supervises all
messages and signals sent in the Inmarsat system).
LES: Land Earth Station w/Net service providers interconnects fixed
telecommunication networks with the Inmarsat system.
MES: Mobile Earth Station (FELCOM 70, user terminal for the Inmarsat system).

Overview of the Inmarsat GAN system.
9-1
System satellites
The satellites are positioned in a geostationary orbit above the equator at
approximately 35700 km altitude. See figure below.
In geostationary orbit, each satellite moves at the same rate as the earth, and so
remains in the same relative position to the earth.
The satellites provide 99% landmass coverage.
FELCOM 70 can communicate via the four satellite Ocean Regions:
AOR-W Atlantic Ocean West Region
AOR-E Atlantic Ocean East Region
IOR Indian Ocean Region
POR Pacific Ocean Region
The coverage area of the satellites for FELCOM 70 (GAN) is shown on page
3-4. Communication is possible in areas marked with ellipse.
Transmission frequencies
The Inmarsat GAN terminals operate in the following frequency bands:
• MES transmission frequencies:1626.5 MHz - 1646.5 MHz
• MES receiving frequencies:1530.0 MHz - 1559.0 MHz

Satellite positions.
A large number of channels are available (20 kHz channel separation), offering
either 4.8 or 64 kbps voice communication, as well as 3.1 kHz audio or 64 kbps
(56 kbps) data communication.
Duplex communication uses two channel frequencies, one in each direction.
The LESs provide interface to the international networks for telephony and data:
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Networks) and PSDN (Packet Switched Data
Networks).
9-2
Antenna search pattern

Azimuth sweep
A 360° rotation of the antenna in azimuth at a fixed elevation angle.
Hemispheric search
A hemispheric search is constituted by azimuth sweeps at elevation angles 5°,
25°, 45°, 65° and 85°.
The antenna searches on the NCS Common TDM channel frequency (NCSC),
initiated by the FELCOM 70 Communication Unit (CU).
When finding the satellite signal, it completes the hemispheric search and moves
to the position where the strongest signal was detected.
The Antenna reports back to the CU for verification of valid NCSC.
If no valid signal is detected, no further automatic action occurs until the CU
initiates a new search.
A search request from the CU may contain channel frequency and an order to
make a full 360° search at a specific elevation, calculated from map and GPS
information. If the request contains channel frequency, a hemispheric search will
be performed.
Tracking
At the end of a search, FELCOM 70 performs a fine-tuning of the antenna
position around the strongest detected signal. The fine-tuning is obtained by
conical scan function based on an antenna rate sensor and a tilt sensor.

Net service provider

The Net service provider issues your user licence and IMN (Inmarsat Mobile
Number) phone numbers. It is also responsible for the billing of calls (charges).
The FELCOM 70 may respond to individual IMN numbers, giving the possibility
to transfer a call directly to each device attached to it.
Note: TermlD is a term that includes both Originating Identity (OlD) and
Destination Identity (DID).
The DID is used from LES to MES to identify the service, whereas OlD is
used from MES to LES to identify the service.TermlD is used in this
manual because the DID and OlD have the same value.
9-5
Calls from Mobiles

See figure.
To make an outgoing call, you use a standard international telephone number
with the 00 prefix. The MES automatically includes information to identify itself
and the particular device that originates.
System signalling
The LES uses the identifying information of the attached device for billing
purposes.
The MES transmits the dialing information on a channel specially assigned by
the NCS to the LES.
LES routes the call over the public telecommunications networks to the intended
destination. When the called party responds, the call proceeds.
Call announcement from mobile to fixed:

The MES uses the Return Identity (RTNID) to communicate with the LES. It uses
the TermlD to identify its IMN number and the service in use.
The attached equipment dials the number and transmits its MSN number to the
MES. The MES routes the MSN to a TermlD.
LES checks that the RTNID is commissioned before connecting the call to the
fixed net.

Calls to Mobiles
See figure.
The FELCOM 70 terminal receives incoming calls via the IMN phone numbers.
IMN numbers are assigned to the following ports by the user:
• ISDN port
• RS-232 serial data port
• RS-422 serial data port
• USB serial data port
• Analogue ports
Calls are made as ordinary international (Satellite) calls by dialing the

international prefix (normally 00) followed by 870 and the IMN number, e.g.:
00 870 762420510.
The common Ocean Region access no. 870 connects the call to the dialed
FELCOM 70 regardless of the Ocean Region the user currently communicates
through.
If the Net service provider does not support access no. 870, call the Ocean
Region directly:
871 - AOR-E (Atlantic Ocean Region East)
872 - POR (Pacific Ocean Region)
873 - IOR (Indian Ocean Region)
874 - AOR-W (Atlantic Ocean Region West)
Call announcement from fixed to mobile:

The LES uses the MES’s Forward Identity (FWID) to communicate with the MES,
and the Terminal Identity (TermlD) to identify the IMN number and the service in
use.
The FWID together with the TermlD replaces the need of the IMN number to be
transmitted through the Inmarsat system in order to identify the MES and the
specific equipment attached to it. This means that LES routes an IMN number
received from the fixed net to the specific FWID and TermlD identifying the MES.
The MES identifies the FWID and the TermID and routes it to a Multiple
Subscriber Number (MSN) which is programmed in the attached equipment.
FURUNO provides a table to identify which TermlD is routed to an MSN.
