SATCOM SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The airplane may be equipped with a TT-3000 Series Aero-M
SATCOM, that is capable of performing global communication through
the INMARSAT satellite network. The system provides one channel
voice 4800 BPS AMBE coding, fax 2400 BPS on 2 wire RJ-11 type
interface, circuit mode data 2400 BPS, and can be interfaced with a
PC via a RS-232 serial port for data communication.
NOTE: The information presented in this manual has the purpose of
assisting the user to perform basic operations on the SATCOM
system. For advanced operation refer to the manufacturer’s
user manual.
SATCOM OPERATION
When the Aero-M system is powered-up, after a short pause the
handset will display the initialization page.
Once that has ocurred, the display will shift to the Wait for GPS page.
This means that the system is acquiring GPS (Global Positioning
System) satellite signals and determining the systems position.
The display will then shift to the Wait for NCS (Network Coordinating
Station) page, indicating that the system is attempting to logon to a
satellite network and acquire a bulletin board.
Finally, the display will then shift to the Logon Display and the user is
now ready to proceed with Pre-Operational Requirements.
