Figure 1: System Set-up

2.1 Free line of sight

When the system has been set-up the easyTrack has to be switched on during the

whole session and has to be positioned to have a free line of sight to a satellite.

easyTrack, Getting started 4(4)

Thrane & Thrane-001 Rev. PA5 26. February 2002

Depending on your location on the globe you should choose the most optimal ocean

region (satellite) to use. A rule of thumb is to locate the easyTrack with a free line of

sight towards the Equator.

Figure 2: Inmarsat Coverage Map

The figure 2 above showing some examples of locations of easyTracks where each

of the four satellites is most appropriate.

North and South America:

If the easyTrack is going to be used in North or South America the most appropriate

satellite to use is West Atlantic. See figure 2 above.

Europe and Africa:

If the easyTrack is going to be used in Europe or Africa the most appropriate satellite

to use is East Atlantic. See figure 2 above.

Russia, China, India etc.:

If the easyTrack is going to be used in Russia, China, India etc. the most appropriate

satellite to use is Indian Ocean. See figure 2 above.

Australia:

If the easyTrack is going to be used in Australia the most appropriate satellite to use

is Pacific Ocean. See figure 2 above.

2.2 Communication Modes

Basically the Inmarsat-C system has 3 different modes: The messaging mode, the

reporting mode and the distress mode.

−Messaging Mode:

This mode is used to send and receive free text messages of up to

10Kbytes.

−Reporting Mode:

This mode is used to send short messages like: Position reports, Data

easyTrack, Getting started 5(5)

Thrane & Thrane-001 Rev. PA5 26. February 2002

reports and Pre-programmed messages from the vehicle to the Fleet

Tracking/Management software at the office. This mode can be compared

to the SMS service from cellular systems.

−Distress Mode:

This mode is used to send Land Mobile Alert back to the home office in

case of a distress situation. A single press on a button can activate this

mode. The T&T Opt. 112 external Alarm Button is available for that.

3easyTrack COMMISSIONING

Before you can use the easyTrack it has to be activated for communication in

Inmarsat’s database. In order to do this you must commission the easyTrack at your

national Telecom or directly with a Land Earth Station (LES).

Together with the easyTrack shipment you also receive an Inmarsat commission

form, which has to be filled in with customer details and faxed to the national

Telecom or the LES. See appendix 2.

Print appendix 2 and fill in the remaining spaces.

On the commissioning form you must fill in:

•Company details

•Type of Mobile Earth Station (Inmarsat-C)

•Mobile type (TT-3026L) and manufacturer (Thrane & Thrane)

•Inmarsat Serial Number (ISN) (4TT0871 XXXXXX) which can be found on the

label at the bottom of the easyTrack. See figure 3 below.

Figure 3: easyTrack Serial Number Label

When the national Telecom or LES has finished the registration procedures they will

send you details about your mobile number for the easyTrack. This mobile number is

necessary to send messages to your easyTrack.

3.1 Mobile number

The mobile number provided by your local Telecom or LES is a nine digit number

starting with “4”. It is advisable to enter this mobile number into the easyTrack to be

able to remember it at all time.

To enter the mobile number in to the easyTrack with the easyMail software please

use the menu shown in figure 4:

Figure 4: Mobile Number Menu

After selecting the Mobile Number menu the window in figure 5 will appear:

Figure 5: Mobile Number Window

Please type in the mobile number you received from the local Telecom or LES and

press the OK button.

4DNID –DATA NETWORK ID

To be able to use the data-/position reporting mode in the Inmarsat-C system you

need a so-called DNID number. DNID stands for Data Network Identity.

DNID:

The DNID number refers to a mailbox at the Land Earth Station (LES) where all

position/data reports from your easyTracks will be sent. With one DNID number you

can track up to 255 easyTracks. If you have a fleet with more than 255 easyTracks

you will need two or more DNID numbers.

Member Number:

To be able to distinguish between the 255 easyTracks on one DNID number, each of

the easyTrack units has a unique member number, which can be between 1 and

255. See figure 6 visualizing a fleet of easyTracks.

4.1 DNID Registration

To get a DNID number you have to contact the local telecom or LES that you want to

use for tracking. You can use the DNID Registration Form in appendix 3 when

applying for a DNID number.

When applying for a DNID number the LES needs the following information:

1) Customer name, Company Address, Customer e-mail address

2) Select ALL Ocean regions. See appendix 3.

3) Select Delivery Destination address for your position/data reports.

E-Mail:

E-Mail is the cheapest way to receive position/data reports and to send poll

commands. You have to inform the Land Earth Station Operator (LESO) to set up

your DNID account to accept e-mails coming from the e-mail address your fleet

tracking software uses to send the poll commands. This is to prevent e-mail

spamming from other unknown e-mail addresses.

FTP:

This is a direct connection to the LES via the Internet, where the fleet tracking

software has to ping the DNID account for position/data reports.

ISDN/PSTN/X.25-Modem number:

This is a direct connection to the LES two-stage interface where the fleet tracking

software logs in with the username and password that you received when you

registered the DNID. After log on with username and password it is possible to send

poll commands, retrieve position/data reports and send text messages to

easyTracks.

4) Select Delivery option (Immediate forwarding/ Mailbox storage / Scheduled

forwarding)

Immediate Forward:

easyTrack, Getting started 8(8)

Thrane & Thrane-001 Rev. PA5 26. February 2002

With this configuration the LES will automatically deliver the position/data reports to

the fleet management software every time it receives position/data reports in the

DNID mailbox.

Mailbox Storage:

When mailbox storage at the LES has been chosen then it is up to the fleet

management software to connect to the LES and retrieve the position/data reports

when needed.

Scheduled forwarding:

With this configuration the LES will deliver the position/data reports at certain

schedules specified by the owner of the DNID account.

5) Select Position/Data report decoding to be T&T header. See appendix 3.

6) Select Message Header to be API header. See appendix 3.

7) Sign the DNID Commissioning form and send it to the LESO.

After registering your DNID the LESO will send you information about UserID and

Password to your DNID account. Whenever you contact the LESO regarding your

DNID account you must inform them about your UserID.

4.2 DNID Download

After you have received your DNID number from the LES the DNID number has to

be downloaded to each of the easyTracks. The LESO can do that over the air, via

the satellite link upon your request.

This is done by:

1) Log the easyTrack into the ocean region.

2) Contact the LESO for DNID download request.

3) Inform the LESO which DNID Number and Member Number to download

4) Inform the LESO which ocean region your mobile is logged in to.

5) Wait until the DNID download has been done.

You can check which DNIDs have been downloaded to your easyTrack using the

DNID menu in easyMail. See figure 7 below:

easyTrack, Getting started 9(9)

Thrane & Thrane-001 Rev. PA5 26. February 2002

Figure 7: DNID Menu

When you have chosen the DNID menu point the window in figure 8 will appear.

Figure 8: DNID List Window

At the above example you can see that the DNID Number 8087 has been

downloaded to all four oceans via EIK LES in Norway (004, 104, 204 & 304).

Thrane & Thrane-001 Rev. PA5 26. February 2002

4.3 DNID Configuration

When the DNID has been downloaded to the easyTrack each DNID has to be

configured to report the desired information i.e. I/O status, position, speed & heading

etc.

This configuration can be done from terminal mode in easyMail

4.3.1 Configuring an DNID entry

Each DNID entry has to be configured to report the required information. It is done

with the command dn –p

The format of the command dn –p is as follows:

DN –p <entry>,<auth>,<cat>,<date>,<iopin>,<speed>

Where each parameter means the following:

entry: This is the DNID entry number in the DNID entry list (dn –d). See picture of

terminal mode in figure 9.

auth: Authority level: 0-3, 0:normal user, 1:super user, 2: sysadm, 3: distributor.

cat: Format of data reports using this DNID.

0 = Land mobile position report

1 = Maritime position report

date: Add additional time and date information to data reports using this DNID.

0=no time and date information included.

1 = time and date information, type 1, included.

2 = time and date information, type 2, included.

3 = time and date information, type 3, included.

iopin: Include IO-pin status in all data reports using this DNID.

0 = no IO-pin status included.

1 = IO-pin status included.

speed: Add additional speed and course information to data reports using this DNID

0 = no speed and course info included.

1 = speed and course info included.
