RADIATION WARNING RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION HAZARD - KEEP CLEAR 1 METRE MINIMUM High levels of radio frequency radiation are considered health hazardous. Although no single value of “safe radiation level” has been agreed upon by all countries, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/LEEE C95.1-1992) recommends that people should not be exposed to radiation stronger than 1 milliwatt per square centimetre at the frequencies used in the SIMRAD MS50 terminal.

System description System description Inmarsat Mini-M system Inmarsat Mini-M is a satellite communications system that provides highly-reliable telephone, data and facsimile communication to and from mobile subscribers anywhere within the worldwide coverage area of the Inmarsat 3 Spot Beam system, see map on next page.
System satellites 178°E The satellites are positioned in a geostationary orbit above the equator at approximately 35700 km altitude. See figure 1.3. 35 70 Pacific Ocean Region 0k m 12 EQUAT OR 00 0k In geostationary orbit, m each satellite moves at the same rate as the Indian Ocean Region Atlantic Ocean Region (West) earth, and so remains in the same relative Atlantic Ocean Region (East) position to the earth. The satellites cover approximately 1/4 of the earth each, called Ocean Regions: 15.
System description cont’d System description cont’d Simrad MS50 communication The Simrad MS50 terminal provides direct telephony, telefax, NIMS and data connection to international public networks via the Inmarsat 3 Spot Beam satellite system. For basic operation Simrad MS50 must include: • Antenna Unit, and • Display Handset or telephone. For added functionality: • PC for control and settings. • Telefax Only a thin coaxial cable connects Simrad MS50 to the Antenna Unit.
To make an outgoing call, you use a standard international telephone number with the 00 prefix. The mobile automatically includes information to identify the MES and the particular port that originates the call. Simrad MS50 has four ports configured for: display handset, telephone, telefax and data. The LES uses the port identifying information (OI) for billing purposes.

Chapter 3. Telefax Service Setting up General The Simrad MS50 terminal provides access to a telefax service at a transmisson rate of 2.4 Kbps. Limitations Simrad MS50 is fully compatible with the world’s leading telefax machines and telefax software standards. However, transmission may not be possible through some of the telefax machines available on the market. Please check with your Net service provider before purchasing a telefax for use with Simrad MS50.
Using telefax with Simrad MS50 Transmission Telefax calls made by Simrad MS50 are telefax only. Any telephone handset connected to the telefax machine is for dialing purposes only. To send a fax, use the same dialing sequence as when making a call, either through the default Net or a selected one. See chapter 2. Operation. Note! Enter as the last digit before starting transmission. Using Telefax with Simrad MS50 Telefax transmissions normally take 1.

The facility is only accessible when Simrad MS50 is restricted for use Menu with a specific SIM, or with no SIM.
Default Net service provider & terrestrial network Menu General The default Inmarsat Net service provider (ISP) for a satellite (Ocean Region) is automatically used if the user does not select another one when making a call. When using SIM card, selection of an ISP is restricted to one of the allowed Net service providers! When the Restricted Net function is enabled, and with some SIM cards, selection of default Net service provider is not possible.
User access Menu General The Simrad MS50 user program is accessible from two levels: • USER LEVEL – accessed by Phone PIN or SIM PIN. Note! If the Phone PIN is accidentally lost, it is possible to reset the user’s password to default by logging in as owner: "Phone PIN: * + owner’s password" (Resetting is not possible on SIM card.) • CHV2 LEVEL / OWNER LEVEL – accessed by CHV2 or owner level passwords. With a SIM card inserted, the password allows access to CHV2 level SIM functions.

Menu Precharge General For use with SIM, see "Precharge on SIM card". Simrad MS50 can be preprogrammed with a total call duration limit of up to 44640 minutes (744 hours). The owner stores a special telephone number under short number 00. This allows the user to call the owner to buy more time even when having exceeded the time limit. During a call the remaining time is displayed next to the call duration in hours and minutes (seconds for the last minute).
Menu Precharge cont’d Buying more remaining time There are three ways to load precharge time: • Call the owner via short number 00 and get the buy code during the conversation. (Calling short number 00 can be done even if exceeding the remaining time limit and does not influence the limit value).

Optional antenna cable Appendix B – Optional antenna cable General Double screen 50 Ω coaxial cable must be used for connection between Simrad MS50 and the various Antenna Units. The coax cable should be secured by laying the cable in a tube and/ or by fastening the cable to avoid damage. A "pigtail" is normally required for connection to the TPU. The maximum length of the coax cable is limited by the DC and RF loss through the cable: Maximum DC loss: R loop 0.
Appendix C AT commands Appendix C – AT commands General The AT command set allows you to configure the Simrad MS50 ASD function directly from your PC keyboard. The AT characters are a prefix to the commands you issue to the Simrad MS50’s ASD service. Most communication applications do not require knowledge of AT commands. Every time you type AT, you are essentially asking for the Simrad MS50 ASD’s ATtention.
Appendix C – AT commands cont’d Operating modes The Simrad MS50 ASD function may operate in three modes: • Command mode The Simrad MS50 ASD 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 Simrad MS50 ASD will respond to AT commands during the call.
Appendix C – AT commands cont’d Basic AT commands Note! AT commands may be entered in either upper or lower case (not mixed). AT A ç instructs the Simrad MS50 ASD to connect the line and start the answer sequence of the incoming call. Used when not configured for auto answer. AT D 00 47 67 24 47 00 ç instructs the Simrad MS50 ASD to dial the number 00 47 67 24 47 00 via the default Net service provider.
Appendix C – AT commands cont’d AT Q[n] ç sets responses sent by the Simrad MS50 ASD: Default AT Q0 ç : the Simrad MS50 ASD returns responses like OK or ERROR. AT Q1 ç : the Simrad MS50 ASD does not return responses. AT S sets and displays S register values. See "S-Register Commands". AT V[n] ç sets the Simrad MS50 ASD response format to words or numbers: Default AT V0 ç selects numeric response. AT V1 ç selects verbal response.
Appendix C – AT commands cont’d AT Z ç resets the Simrad MS50 ASD configuration to last saved command. Also clears the call if used when in Online Command Mode. repeats last command.

AT & D[n] ç selects the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) behaviour: AT & D0 ç the Simrad MS50 ASD ignores DTR. AT & D1 ç the Simrad MS50 ASD enters Online Command Mode when DTR goes inactive. Default AT & D2 ç the Simrad MS50 ASD clears call when DTR goes inactive.

The SIM card can only be unblocked using a PUK code (Pin Unblock Key). Contact the agent. * 3.
Appendix F – Troubleshooting cont’d 6. Problems with telefax: • Remember to press "#" as last digit before starting transmission. • Verify that the service is commissioned, see step 5. • Connect an external standard telephone to the FAX port and verify that you have a dial tone. • Be aware of system transmission delays. The OFF-HOOK time should therefore be as long as possible (e.g. 2 minutes). When the fax machine is called, ringing time should be set to minimum (e.g. immediate answer).
