MT operations. 5.1 Design Overview The Mitsubishi MTs operate under a blanket license from the FCC for MSAT Service under Part 25 (Satellite Communications) of its rules. This license, on file with the FCC (File No. 2823- DSE-P/L-93), does not require special MT identification tags for compliance.
Changes or modifications to the equipment that Mitsubishi Electronics does not expressly approve can void the authority to operate equipment within commercial and residential buildings. 5.2 Signaling and Communications Channels All Mitsubishi MTs access the MSAT network through six different special “channels”. The following table defines these channels: Channel From...
The FES-C channel sends (1) voice and data calls and (2) in-band signaling to the MT, from the ground segment. The ground segment assigns the FES-C channel (via GC-S channel) to an MT ST200 Series Technical Support Manual January 2000...
The output of the shift register derives from some binary combination (e.g. XOR, AND, etc.) of the resident 15 bits, with results feeding back into register during each cycle. This process continuously changes the ST200 Series Technical Support Manual January 2000...
The technique, called Viterbi decoding, re-assembles the information into its most likely original form. 5.5 Security Functions 5.5.1 Electronic Features Mitsubishi MTs, including land mobile and fixed site configurations, offer five key electronic security features: ♦ Handset Lock Code ♦ Security Code ♦...
5.7 Shutdown Conditions There are four conditions that may cause a MT to cease transmission or automatically shut down. All dealers should be aware of and understand these conditions for trouble resolution and user training. ST200 Series Technical Support Manual January 2000...
5.8 Operation 5.8.1 Initialization The Mitsubishi MTs run through a hardware and software self-test procedure every time a user applies power. The MT will request programming information the first time that it powers up. After programming, described in Section 7, the unit will automatically power down. When the...
