Airtime service provisioning
To be able to establish a data connection or make a call the
satcom system must be activated or commissioned by a service
provider. This is taken care of during installation and
configuration of the satcom system. The service provider
provides the telephony and data services and invoices you for
the services used. For information on service providers go to
Inmarsat’s web site, Partner search
(http://www.inmarsat.com/partners/search-for-partner/). The service
provider also handles activation, commissioning, billing and technical
support that is related to the communication network.
The satcom system is operational and ready to use when the aircraft is
powered up and the aircraft’s navigational system has finished its
initialization. Check whether your aircraft is equipped with a signal saying
that the satcom system is ready for use before you start your application.
Default settings
The telephone and ISDN lines are available as soon as the system has
logged on to the satellite network. Check whether your aircraft is equipped
with a signal saying that the satcom system is ready for use.
Internet, e-mail and other IP services are available as plug-and-play, no
further configuration is needed. The system automatically starts the
standard background data connection when a PC, Smart Phone or other
device is connected.
With the plug-and-play functionality a computer
automatically establishes a connection to the
Internet and starts transferring data as soon as you
start using the Internet, e-mail or other IP services.
To avoid unintended use of bandwidth, e.g. automatic
software updates, see Unintended use of bandwidth on
page 107 for information how to set up your computer.
