Section 2 - How to set the SSAS Report message destination

Connect a laptop or a PC to the DB9 connector using a standard DB9 male to DB9 female modem cable.

Run CapSat, EasyMail or a terminal program such as HyperTerminal with 4800 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
and no parity.

If you are using CapSat or EasyMail then select:

Options > Configuration > Terminal Mode

Access to the SSAS configuration parameters is only granted at ‘sysadm’ user level, please type:

: su sysadm
password: ******** ↵

NB: The factory default password is ‘sysadm’ and is case sensitive. The password may have been changed at
the time of the installation, in which case please request this information from a member of the crew or from
the CSO. Should this information be unavailable, please contact the hardware supplier.

1. The first step involves clearing out a factory default setting. Please type:

: pg -fa 0,104 ↵

2. Check that the mobile number (IMN) has been programmed into the device. Please type:

: se -u ↵

3. If the above command returns ‘0’ (zero), please enter the SSAS terminals correct Inmarsat C mobile
number (IMN), e.g.:

: se –u 411222333 ↵

NB: Replace 411222333 with the correct IMN number.

4. Three recipient addresses can be configured to receive the SSA message. To display the current Ship
Security Alert recipient’s address, type:

: se -am ↵

Pole Star Space Applications Ltd.

 5. The next available address list entry should be used. The format of the message is as follows:

: se -am <entry>,<type>,<address>,<param>

Where:

<entry>: Address list entry number: 0-2

<type>: Destination type: 3 for PSDN

<address>: Destination Address:

53533501 for Pole Star.

<param>: Land earth station:

Dependant on the current ocean region (AORW, AORE, POR or IOR)
AOR-W:021; AOR-E:121; POR:221; IOR:321.

e.g. of direction- AORE

: se –am 0,3, 53533501,121

6. To give coverage in all ocean regions, automatic LES selection should also be set up using the
following command:

: se -m 021,121,221,321
7. Final check type:

: pg -fa ↵

The terminal should return:

:Connection AlertCont AlertInt

Default 0 104

If the settings are different, the factory default setting has not been changed. Type:

: pg -fa 0,104 ↵

NB: Please ensure the SSAS device is rebooted once the above instructions have been carried out. This will
ensure that the device is no longer in ‘sysadm’ mode and that the configuration cannot be altered without
the password being re- entered.

Section 3: Instructions for performing a test between the platform and the equipment .

* Please note that this procedure on the platform can only be done by the person in charge with the adequate
user role and password.

1. From the Pole Star platform (PSP) please select the option “SSAS Management”.
2. Select “Start new test”.
3. On the search bar, please enter the vessel name and then select it.

4. From the options available, please select “Start test”, a message will be displayed indicating that it is
necessary to press the SSAS button onboard the ship.

- The system will wait for the alert.

Pole Star Space Applications Ltd.

* Please note that it is not necessary to make any change to the normal configuration on the equipment, do
not add any word “test” on the SSAS message. Due to the platform being under test mode, the real alert
received will be processed as a test alert for test purpose.

- When the alert is received, the message will change to “SSAS test activated”.

To reset the alert, please press the button "Reset", a message asking for confirmation will be displayed,
please select "ok".

* Please note that this "reset" is on the platform and not on the equipment. To avoid continuing to receive
alerts on the platform, please reset the alert abord directly on the equipment.

- The system will show a message indicating that the system will reset the ship to normal mode.
This is on the platform, not onboard the ship. And after about 50 minutes, if no more alerts are
received, it will send a poll command, requesting a normal position report.

 - If no more alerts are received during the reset process on the platform, the system will change to
"SSAS test ending" and then to "SSAS completed".
