Use of PIN codes. Getting started Use of PIN codes. Access to some of the terminals functionalities are restricted by a PIN code. Two different kinds of User PIN codes are used in the system: One PIN for the Super User and one for the Service User.
Getting started Normal calls referred to the “TT-3084A SAILOR Fleet77, TT-3086A SAILOR Fleet55, Installation Manual”. STU PIN and 128K PIN Pin codes must be retrieved from your distributor in order to enable the STU functionality (Secure Telephone Unit) or the 128 kbit/s service. Please refer to section 4.3.26 and 5.1.2 to see how to enable the service.
Normal calls Getting started You hang up by pressing . During and after a call, the display will show how long the call lasted. Example: Connected: 00:01:59 The Phone Book can also be used to initiate a call, either by selecting an entry in the phone book or by using the short code.
Getting started Distress call Distress call Please note: The distress functionality is available on Fleet77 systems only. A distress call is an automated way of calling for help (SOS). A distress call from the Fleet77 system is a voice call, which means that the call will be connected to an operator at the RCC (Rescue Co-ordination Center).
Distress call Getting started Default LES is also not configured, the NCS redirects the call to an appropriate LES. Note: If a Distress LES is not defined for each Ocean Region, an alarm will appear and the entry ‘Distress LES is not selected in all Ocean Regions’ will be added to the alarm log.
Getting started MPDS connection Any calls with lower priority including MPDS sessions will be pre-empted and a busy tone will be heard. The distress and priority call is answered by picking up a handset or by pressing after which the ‘Priority Call’ LED will light steadily and the buzzer stops beeping.
MPDS connection Getting started Paragraph 5.2.1 and 5.3 contains a description of how to setup an MPDS connection using your PC. 3.5.1 Call waiting As indicated in the previous section the user can enable the Call Waiting Notification in order to receive incoming voice calls during an MPDS session.
Getting started ISDN Connection on another interface than the interface that was used to accept the call – e.g. a fax will normally only be routed to a specific RJ11 connector and not the 4-wire handset. 3. The user may also choose to do nothing. After a certain time the notification stops and the pre-emption of the MPDS connection is implicitly rejected, if no other lines have accepted the notification.
Page 55
ISDN Connection Getting started The terminal does not support dynamic switching between one and two B-channels. The user needs to decide whether to use one or two channels before establishing the call. The Fleet77 128kbit/s service does not support mixed fixed and mobile originated calls, mixed UDI and voice calls or the ability to lay down one of the B channels dynamically.
