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.

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 SAILOR 77 Fleet+ Below
Deck Unit (BDU).
When finding the satellite signal, it completes the hemi-
spheric search and moves to the position where the strongest
signal was detected.
The Antenna reports back to the BDU for verification of valid
NCSC.
If no valid signal is detected, no further automatic action oc-
curs until the BDU initiates a new search.
A search request from the BDU may contain channel fre-
quency and an order to make a full 360° search at a specific
��
elevation, calculated from map and GPS information. If no
satellite is found, a hemispheric search will be performed.
Tracking
At the end of a search, SAILOR 77 Fleet+ performs a fine-tun-
ing of the antenna position around the strongest detected
signal. The fine-tuning is obtained by a squinting function Note! SAILOR 77 Fleet+ remembers the last used Ocean Region

Microphone and Line Out ports

The Microphone and Line Out ports are not in use
when the handset is set to Automatic which is the
default setting of an ISDN Handset.
The ports are available if the handset is switched

to Normal Mode. In this mode the handset acts as
a standard ISDN telephone, and terminal configu-
ration and supervision are not possible.
The handset is switched to Normal Mode by

selecting Menu > Phone Setup > Terminal Type >
