3. SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
This chapter shows you how to initialize the FELCOM system. Once the equipment is
initialized, you need do no more than press a few keys to get fully automatic transmis-
sion and reception.
Inmarsat assigns an MES (your ship) an Inmarsat Mobile Number (IMN) when it ap-
plies for Inmarsat registration. The IMN is necessary to communicate in the Inmarsat
system and It is entered into the FELCOM system during the installation.
