General
Fax calls placed through the Saturn B are telefax only. Any telephonehandset connected to the telefax machine is for dialing purposes only.
To send a fax, use the same dialing sequence as when using atelephone, either through the default LES, or a selected one:see "Call from Telephone".
Telefax transmissions normally take 1.5 minute per standard textpage using standard resolution. Using superfine or halftone resolutionwill double the transmission time. Avoid using a separate cover page.The transmission rate is 9.6 kbps.
If a call failure should occur while sending a multi-page document, re-send only the failed pages.
Limitations
Saturn B is fully compatible with the world’s leading telefax machinesand telefax software standards. However, transmission may not bepossible through some of the telefax machines available on themarket. Please check with your agent before purchasing a telefax foruse with the Saturn B.

Satellite Search *
Automatic Satellite Searching
The Saturn Bm offers two types of automatically started searches:
Initial Search performed when:• turning on power• restarting the equipment, or• Ocean Region changed by user.
Auto Search performed when:
• synchronization with the satellite has been missing for more than apreset timeout. The factory default time is 10 minutes.For presetting of the timeout period (0 . . 1440 minutes), see"Antenna Configuration" in chapter 3. Configuration.
Search Patterns
Azimuth Search
A 360° rotation of the antenna in azimuth at a fixed elevation angle.
Hemispheric Search
A hemispheric search is made out of azimuthsweeps at elevation angles 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°,50°, 60° and 70°.
The antenna searches on theactive channel frequency (NCSC).
For more information, see"Antenna Pointing" and"Satellite Searching" inchapter 4. System.
When finding the satellitesignal, it completes thehemispheric search andmoves to the position wherethe strongest signal was de-tected.
The antenna then tracks thesatellite automatically.
If no signal is detected, no further automatic action occurs until anAuto Search is activated due to the preset missing synchronizationtimeout, see above.

Satellite Search * Cont’d
Fast TrackingAt the end of a search, Saturn Bm performs a fine-tuning of theantenna position around the strongest detected signal.Fast Tracking increases the accuracy of the antenna pointing towardsthe satellite.
Direct-to-Satellite Search
The direct-to-satellite mode provides the quickest search (levels 6 or7, see below). Saturn Bm estimates the azimuth and elevation anglesof the antenna based on the following inputs:• The geographic position of the vessel supplied by GPS via the
NMEA-183 input.• The heading of the vessel as updated through the gyro interface.• Valid Bulletin Board.
Search LevelsThe search level used during an Initial Search or an Auto Search isselectable, see "Antenna Configuration" in chapter 3. Configura-tion.
The search level options are:
0: NO_SEARCH No search is performed. (Manually InitiatedSearch is possible, see next page.)
1: AZIMUTH_ONLY Search on the active NCSC frequency in thecurrent Ocean Region. One azimuth search atlast known elevation for the region.AZIMUTH_ONLY is the default selection forInitial Search.
2: ACTIVE_FREQ Search on the active NCSC frequency in thecurrent Ocean Region. One hemisphericsearch.
3: REGION_FREQS Search on all NCSC frequencies in the currentOcean Region. Up to 4 hemispheric searches,starting with the active NCSC frequency in thecurrent Ocean Region.

Operational AreaThe antenna can rotate a "distance" of maximum 530°. See below.The antenna will normally stay inside the 60° - 470° operational area.
Rewind AreaWhen in IDLE mode moving into one of the 5° - 60° or 470° - 525°Rewind Areas (shaded), the antenna automatically rewinds 360° intothe Operational Area, resuming its steady pointing at the satellite.When a call is in progress and the ship turns so that the antennaenters the Rewind Area, no rewind occurs. When the call is finished,a 360° rewind will take place automatically.
Azimuth Limit AreaIf the antenna moves into the 0° - 5° or 525° - 530° Azimuth LimitAreas, rewind will start automatically despite traffic in progress and acall will be cleared.

LES Capabilities *
Saturn Bm – Chapter 3. Configuration3.6
General
In the event of an NCS (Network Coordinating Station) failure, someLESs provide "Stand-alone" capabilities by transmission of the callannouncement and channel assignment messages normally con-veyed by the NCS.
A stand-alone LES does not maintain full connectivity between MESsand LESs for fixed-originated calls, but connectivity for mobile-originated calls is not affected by NCS failure.
The "LES Capabilities" function (60) indicates the LESs in the regionthat offer "Stand-alone" capability.

and revert to IDLE:
Saturn B must be synchronized with the satellite when selectingStand-alone LES (circle indicator displayed). When switching oninitially, a Stand-alone LES is preselected automatically.
Note! If the message "ILLEGAL CHOICE" appears, either the LESdoes not exist or it has no stand-alone capability (see "LES Capabili-ties" on previous page).

System Satellites
The positions of the four sys-tem satellites are indicated inFigure 4.2.
The satellites are posi-tioned in a geostation-ary orbit above theequator at approxi-mately 35700 kmaltitude.
In geostationary orbit,each satellite moves atthe same rate as theearth, and so remains inthe same relative positionto the earth.
The satellites cover approximately 1/4 of the earth each, calledOcean Regions:
• Atlantic Ocean East Region
• Pacific Ocean Region
• Indian Ocean Region
• Atlantic Ocean West Region
The four Ocean Regions represent areas within which Saturn B cancommunicate via a selected satellite.
The coverage area of the satellites is shown on the map inappendix A.

Saturn Bm Communication
The Saturn Bm Marine terminal provides direct telephony, telex anddata connection to the international public networks via the INMAR-SAT satellite system.
The digital technology used in the system ensures complete privacyfor the calls.
The Saturn Bm Marine terminal consists of only two units, the AboveDeck Equipment (ADE) and the Below Deck Equipment (BDE), with asingle cable connecting them.
The installation is very simple. The complete installation can normallybe done by one engineer in less than a day.
The basic system consists of the compact Main Control Unit (MCU)w/Display Handset, the antenna radome containing stabilized anten-na, transceiver and tracking system and a Distress Alarm Unit.
All operating functions are conducted through the telephone DisplayHandset.
The Saturn Bm also offers connection of 5 telephones, telefax, Mes-sage Indicator, telex PC, and PC for data transfer via its built-inmodem (option).

Calls from Mobiles
To initiate a call, the user dials the international call prefix 00 prior tothe telephone number for the required destination. The LES codenumber is also included, either automatically when using the defaultLES, or manually selected from the Display Handset.
The mobile automatically includes information to identify the MES andthe particular end terminal that originates the call. Saturn B has sixvoice connections: the Display Handset and five connectors (oneinternal and four external) that are normally configured for telephoneand a telefax.
The LES uses the end terminal identifying information (OI) for billingpurposes.
The mobile transmits the dialing information on a channel speciallyassigned by the NCS, to the LES, which also has been instructed totune to the same channel.
On receiving the call, LES routes it over the public telecommunica-tions networks to the intended destination. When the called partyresponds, the call proceeds.

4.8 Saturn Bm – Chapter 4. System␣ ␣
GeneralThe antenna is highly directive and must be pointed accurately at thesatellite to achieve optimum receiving and transmitting conditions.During normal operation the antenna is kept pointed at the satellite bythe auto-tracking system of Saturn Bm.
However, before the auto-tracking can take over, the antenna mustbe brought within a certain angle of the satellite.
For manual pointing, the following data must be available:
Ship’s Plotted Position
The plotted position isneeded to decide whichsatellite can be used. SeeSatellite Coverage Map inappendix A.
Example: 106° 10' E,9° 40' N
Ship’s Heading
The ship’s heading is needed to givecorrect azimuth reading in the DisplayHandset.

Azimuth Angle
The azimuth angle is the angle be-tween north and the horizontal satel-lite direction as seen from the ship.
Example: 259° azimuth
The actual azimuth angle for thesatellites relative to the ship’sposition can be found on theAzimuth Map in appendix A.
Elevation Angle
The elevation angle is the satellite height above the horizon as seenfrom the ship.

4.10 Saturn Bm – Chapter 4. System␣ ␣
Introduction
The Saturn Bm may find a satellite and obtain synchronization in oneof several ways:
• searching automatically when required.
• the user starts a search from the keypad.
• the user moves the antenna using the keypad.
Automatically Initiated Search
Two different “search types” are used:
Initial Search which starts automatically• at power on/restart, or• when changing Ocean Region
Auto Search which starts automatically• when losing synchronization for a preset time interval.
(For setting the time interval, see "Antenna Configuration" inchapter 3. Configuration.)
Search Patterns
The two search types above can be individually configured to performone of several search algorithms, called “search levels”:
Search Name Descriptionlevel
0 NO_SEARCH No search is performed.Manually Initiated Search is still possible.
1 AZIMUTH_ONLY Search on the active NCSC frequency in the currentOcean Region at last known elevation for the region.One 360 degree search in azimuth.
2 ACTIVE_FREQ Search on the active NCSC frequency in the currentOcean Region.One hemispheric search.
3 REGION_FREQS Search on all NCSCs in current Ocean Region. One ortwo hemispheric searches.
4 ALL_REGIONS Search on active NCSC in all Ocean Regions.One to max eight hemispheric searches
5 FULL_SEARCH Search for all NCSCs in all Ocean Regions.One to max thirty-two hemispheric searches.
6 DIRECT_SAT Points the antenna directly at the satellite for the currentOcean Region.
7 DIRECT_BEST Finds the best Ocean Region by searching all satellitesabove the horizon.
(See chapter 2. Operation for a description of hemispheric search).
Satellite SearchingS
atel
lite
Sea
rchi
ng
Saturn Bm – Chapter 4. System 4.11
The Saturn Bm search algorithms are designed to find a satellite assoon as possible.
The FULL_SEARCH level, covering all NCSC frequencies for each ofthe eight Ocean Regions may cause the antenna to perform up to 32hemispheric (sky) searches.
The REGION_FREQS and ALL_REGIONS search levels may alsorequire several hemispheric searches before a signal is found.
The DIRECT_SEARCH and the REGION_SEARCH search levels arerecommended used when the ship’s heading and position data areaccessible.The DIRECT_SEARCH level points the antenna directly at the satel-lite of the current Ocean Region.The REGION_SEARCH steps the antenna from satellite to satelliteand finally settles on the best one.Choosing between Initial Search and Auto Search permits a limitedsearch to be made with a high possibility of finding a satellite. Whichsearch levels to select is up to the user and should be based onunder what conditions the system is used.
The Initial Search is activated when the system is started or when theuser changes Ocean Region. Saturn Bm remembers the last usedOcean Region, last used NCSC frequency and the antenna position.
Saturn Bm in fact keeps a record of these data for all Ocean Regions.
The Auto Search is activated when synchronization with the satellitehas been lost for a preselected time interval. Loss of synchronizationmay be caused by different situations, e.g. when:• Moving out of the current Ocean Region.
• Moving into a “shadow” where the satellite signal is not seen,(caused by mast, funnel etc. on your own vessel, another vessel, abridge, buildings, geographical obstacles etc.).
• Changing to an Ocean Region not covering your position (startingwith Initial Search and then Auto Search after timeout).
• INMARSAT changes the active NCSC frequency in your OceanRegion.

4.12 Saturn Bm – Chapter 4. System␣ ␣
Active NCSC Frequency
The active NCSC frequency here is the frequency that Saturn Bmassumes is the active one. Saturn Bm uses the frequency that wasactive the last time the actual Ocean Region was used.
When using an Ocean Region for the first time, the active NCSCfrequency is selected as default, i.e. NCSC (0). That is why a Manu-ally Initiated Search is recommended when using an Ocean Regionfor the first time.
The Search Levels
NO_SEARCH
During Initial Search the system tunes to the last used NCSC fre-quency and positions the antenna directly to the last known position.
If NO_SEARCH is used for Auto Search the antenna maintains itsposition even after loss of synchronization.
NO_SEARCH is recommended when the antenna is located at afixed geographical position. Use the Manually Initiated Search afterinstallation (see below) to find the satellites for the Ocean Regionscovering your position. When restarting or changing Ocean Region,the antenna will be pointed to the satellite directly.
AZIMUTH_ONLY
Default search level for the Initial Search. The system tunes to thelast used NCSC frequency and adjusts the antenna to the last usedelevation angle, before performing a 360-degree azimuth search. Theantenna moves to the position with the best signal strength.
If no signal is detected, the antenna moves back to the last usedposition.
During Auto Search the system performs a 360 degree azimuthsearch.
AZIMUTH_ONLY is recommended for Initial Search when the vesselmoves in directions causing small changes in the elevation angle.
Small changes in elevation can be expected when the vessel’scourse is mainly east or west.
AZIMUTH_ONLY is not recommended for Auto Search unless thevessel always operates within the same Ocean Region.

Saturn Bm – Chapter 4. System 4.13
The difference between Initial Search and Auto Search is that AutoSearch makes a 360 degree azimuth search prior to the hemisphericsearch(es):
ACTIVE_FREQ
During Initial Search the system tunes to the last used NCSC fre-quency and makes one hemispheric search. The antenna moves tothe position where the best signal was detected during the search. Ifno signal was detected, the antenna moves back to the last usedposition.
During Auto Search the system starts an AZIMUTH_ONLY search.But if no signal is found, a hemispheric search is performed.
ACTIVE_FREQ is recommended for Initial Search when the vesselmoves in directions that may cause significant changes in the eleva-tion angle.
ACTIVE_FREQ is not recommended for Auto Search unless thevessel always operates within the same Ocean Region.
REGION_FREQS
starts as an ACTIVE_FREQ search. But if no signal is found, hemi-spheric searches are tried on the other NCSC frequency assigned tothe current Ocean Region.
If a signal is found during one of the hemispheric searches, thathemispheric search is completed, and the antenna moves to theposition where the best signal was detected.
Since there are two NCSC frequencies assigned to an Ocean Region,this search level requires one or two hemispheric searches to com-plete.
REGION_FREQS can be used for Initial Search instead of ACTIVE_FREQ.
It is useful if INMARSAT changes the active NCSC frequency for yourOcean Region. (Only one of the four NCSC frequencies assigned toan Ocean Region is active at a time.)
REGION_FREQS is not recommended for Auto Search unless thevessel always operates within the same Ocean Region.
REGION_FREQS search algorithm equals the one used for theManually Initiated Search.

4.14 Saturn Bm – Chapter 4. System␣ ␣
ALL_REGIONS
An ALL_REGIONS search starts as an ACTIVE_FREQ search. But ifno signal is found, hemispheric searches are tried on the activeNCSC frequencies for the other Ocean Regions.
If a signal is found during one of the hemispheric searches, thathemispheric search is completed, and the antenna moves to theposition where the best signal was detected. If the signal is found inan Ocean Region other than the initial one, the system is automati-cally tuned to the new Ocean Region. Since eight Ocean Regions aredefined, this search level requires from one to eight hemisphericsearches to complete.
ALL_REGIONS is probably to extensive for an Initial Search, but isrecommended for Auto Search, specially if loss of synchronization iscaused by moving out of the current Ocean Region.
FULL_SEARCH
Default search level for Auto Search, starting as an ACTIVE_FREQsearch.
The FULL_SEARCH is performed in the same way as describedabove for the ALL_REGIONS search, but both NCSC frequencies inall Ocean Regions are searched. Since eight Ocean Regions aredefined with four NCSC frequencies each, this search level requiresfrom one to thirty-two hemispheric searches to complete.
DIRECT_SAT
By using the ship’s current heading and position (latitude/longitude)the exact azimuth/elevation may be calculated, allowing theDIRECT_SAT search to point the antenna directly at any satellite ofthe current Ocean Region.
An alarm is given if the attempted satellite is below the horizon.
DIRECT_BEST
The DIRECT_BEST search steps the antenna from satellite to satel-lite, and measures all NCSC frequencies. When all satellites abovethe horizon have been measured, the antenna is pointed at the satel-lite providing the strongest signal. The latter is then established as thenew "current Ocean Region".

When starting Saturn Bm in an Ocean Region for the first time, andsynchronization is not obtained after start-up, check that the OceanRegion setting is correct and start a Manually Initiated Search fromthe keypad:
Starting a Search from the Keypad
The Manually Initiated Search may be useful if an Initial Search orAuto Search fails to obtain synchronization with a satellite, or whenyou enter an Ocean Region for the first time (or when the activeNCSC frequency of your current Ocean Region has been changed byINMARSAT).
It could also be useful if you suspect that a search finds a reflectedsignal rather than the true signal. This may happen in an InitialSearch because the Initial Search starts with an azimuth search in thelast known elevation for the Ocean Region.
It will be successful provided that:
• There are no obstacles between the antenna and the satellite, and
• Saturn Bm is set to an Ocean Region that covers your position.
Having to use Manually Initiated Search often may indicate that theselected search levels for Auto Search and/or Initial Search are notappropriate.
Moving the Antenna Using the Keypad
The antenna can also be moved manually by means of the key pad.See "Manual Antenna Pointing" in chapter 2. Operation.
If all the search types described above fail, or you know the correctazimuth and elevation angle of the satellite, you can use the up- anddown-keys to search for a satellite. Move the antenna until the circu-lar sync indicator appears in the display. Then try to fine-tune theantenna position until the strongest signal level is found.
