1.1.3 Overview of Connection Port

1. Connection of ADE and BDE
IC-118/119 and IC-218/219 are connected by use of the coaxial cable.
This coaxial cable includes 1.5 GHz receiving RF signal, 1.6 GHz transmitting RF
signal, 1575.42 MHz receiving GPS RF signal and the power supplied to the Antenna
unit. The transmitting voltage is +28 V (+27 V) and the receiving voltage is +7 V.
The loss of the coaxial cable is estimated between 2 and 12 dB at 1.6 GHz band. Select
the specified cable according to length.
Since transmission excess input protection circuit (limiter) is built in the ANT RF
circuit in the Antenna unit, it is possible to shorten the length of the specified cable.

system via JUNCTION BOX: IC-318.
1) IC-305 and IC-306 are connected to the same connection terminal in parallel and
each unit needs to be set for identification (jumper setting). Furthermore, ON/OFF
setting for each unit is made in "Command Window." IC-350 and IC-305 cannot
be connected simultaneously.
2) A maximum of three units can be connected to IC-307. Daisy chain connection is
adopted for the connection method and each unit needs to be set for identification
(jumper setting). Furthermore, SSAS needs to be set on "Command Window."

1.1.4 Compatibility
1. Compatibility of Antenna unit
Antenna unit of different models cannot be used. Performance of the Antenna unit is not
guaranteed.
However, Antenna unit of difference models can be connected according to
combinations in the following table in order to determine whether ADE or BDE is out
of order for maintenance service. However, note that there is no guarantee for EIRP.
Also, be sure to use the Antenna coaxial cable having the standard length for the model
when connecting an Antenna unit of different models. For example, when connecting
the Antenna unit: IC-115 of FELCOM 15 to FELCOM 18, IC-115 or the power supply
board may break if the cable length is shorter than the specified coaxial cable length.

4.5 FELCOM 18 and 19: Setting SSAS

SSAS (Ship Security Alert System) is intended for
transmitting a Security alert to "recipients specified " without being noticed by
attackers when the ship is under attack by armed invader, such as pirates, terrorists,
etc.
If any ship Security alert system: IC-307 button is pressed, the SSAS function
activates and the alert indicating that the ship is attacked is transmitted to
predetermined recipients (a maximum of 5 recipients) while sending information,
such as Ship name, MMSI number, IMN and Own ship position at the predetermined
intervals.
No audible or visual alarm is generated while the SSAS report is being transmitted in
order to prevent detection by the invaders.
As for SSAS security alert unit: IC-307,
the unit must be activated from the bridge and at least one more another position. As
for FELCOM 18 and FELCOM 19, a maximum of 3 sets of IC-307 can be connected.
Also, backup power is supplied to the ship Security alert system by the Main power
supply and Auxiliary power supply.
Also, IC-307 is connected in daisy chain connection. As for setting, set jumper of
IC-307, enter "1. Remote Box Setup" in Command Window in [Setup] -> 1. System
Setup menu, and then set ON/OFF for SSAS.
Points for operation

1. In case of pressing the [Alert] button on IC-307,
when the [Alert] button is pressed and held down for 30 seconds while using
Standard Type, 3 seconds while using Russian Type and 0.7 seconds while USCG
Type is used, transmission sequence of SSAS alarm starts.
1) Whether the sequence starts cannot be determined by the status display and
panel LED, etc. However, when the SSAS transmission sequence starts,
information, such as Current Channel, Current TDM and MES Status, changes
in the same manner as the normal transmission status.
Whether or not the SSAS transmission sequence has started cannot be
recognized with the lighting status of lamp on the Communication unit of
FELCOM 19.
The lamp lights in the same manner as normal transmission. While transmitting
the SSAS message, the [TX] lamp lights.
2) Communication information indicating whether the alert is transmitted
(Successful sending, Delivery Status) is not displayed. Communication
information is neither printed nor recorded in the log.
3) Even if the power is turned off, the equipment resumes the SSAS alert
sequence when powered on again.
4-17
4) If Delivery Status is "Not Complete" or 30 minutes elapse without receiving

Delivery Status, the alert is transmitted again after changing the LES of the
ocean region where the terminal is logged into.
If E-Mail is set for Destination Type, E-mail is transmitted to destinations from
the top in the LES list in the corresponding ocean region registered at E-Mail
Setup.
If TELEX is set for Destination Type, TELEX is retransmitted from the top of
LES in the LES Information list for the corresponding ocean region.
5) If transmission is unsuccessful, an alert is retransmitted after automatically
changing LES in the same manner as the item 4).
2. How to cancel the transmission sequence

Method-1) Standard Type, Russian Type
Switch the "Alert" button OFF in SSAS Manager Mode.
When the message "NF: SSAS UNIT activation has been canceled." appears, the
transmission sequence has stopped.
Change the status of the "Alert" button in the following manner within 3 seconds:
"OFF → ON → OFF → ON →OFF".
When the message "INF: SSAS UNIT activation has been canceled." appears, the
Enter SSAS Manger Mode, and then type "terminate ssas alert".
When the message "Please return the SSAS button into OFF-STATE." appears,
return the "Alert" button on IC-307 to the OFF status. When the message "INF:
SSAS UNIT activation has been canceled." appears, the transmission sequence has
stopped.
Method-4) USCG type
Enter SSAS Manger Mode, and then type "terminate ssas alert".
When the message "INF: SSAS UNIT activation has been canceled." appears, the
As for the display indicating cancellation of transmission for FELCOM 19,

the aforementioned message is output if the PC terminal is connected.
While no PC terminal is connected, if the [POWER] lamp on the Communication
unit flashes for 30 seconds at intervals of 1 second, the SSAS transmission sequence
has stopped.

4.6 Data Report
4.6 Data Report

4.6.1 Overview
1. Overview
Data Report is the service to send small amount of data, such as position data, course
and speed, from MES: FELCOM 18, 19 to users on the ground.
VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) and LRIT (Long-Range Identification and Tracking
of ship) use this service.
Polling is the service that enables users on the ground to send the Polling Command to
specific ship, specific group in the specific ocean region (area).
For example, the report is transmitted according to the Polling Command sent from the
LES (provider), or the report is transmitted according to intervals and start time for
transmitting the report programmed in MES.
To carry out Data Report, an agreement needs to be made between a user on the ground
and LES, which works as the provider, and DNID (Data Network ID; LES number)
needs to be downloaded into MES.
Table 4.6.1 Polling command list

For example, if the polling command "02H Initiate Reserved Data Reporting" is
received, initiates Data Reporting according to programming of "01H Program
Reserved Data Reporting."

4.6 Data Report
2. Types of Data Report protocols

Data Report is classified into the following protocols. Even if the protocol of Data
Report changes, contents to be report do not change.
Table 4.6.2 Data Report protocols
Data Report
Outline
types
Unreserved Data Report;
This is the simplest Data Report.
DR
Since there is no acknowledgment function, the Report may not be
transmitted securely.
Enhanced Data Report;
EDR The Report can be securely transmitted by using the acknowledgement
function after transmitting the report.
Pre-Assigned Data Report;
This report is the report, which is programmed on the ground and needs
PADR to be transmitted at fixed transmission intervals and fixed time (time).
Since there is no acknowledgment function in the same manner as DR,
the report may not be transmitted securely.
Enhanced Pre-Assigned Data Reporting;
This report is the report, which is programmed on the ground and
enables further control compared to PADR. This report needs to be
EPADR
transmitted at fixed transmission intervals and fixed time (time).
The report can be securely transmitted by using the acknowledgement
function after transmitting the report in the same way as EDR.
Acknowledgement function:
This function is used to check the checksum at the receiving side in order to confirm that
the report is securely transmitted. If there is abnormality in Check-Sum, the
retransmission request is sent to MES.
3. Sharing VMS and LRIT

Do not operate VMS and LRIT in the same equipment at the same time.
For example, when the unit is turned ON or OFF, or when an event, such as blocking,
occurs, the report is transmitted to all valid DNIDs (LRIT and VMS).
Note)
The above operation depends on the VMS setting file. This item is applied to "VMS
DNID only". Definition of this item is that the report is only transmitted to the DNID
dedicated for VMS when an event occurs.
If "FALSE" (default value) is set, above functions are applied to all DNIDs. If
"TRUE" is set, the report is transmitted to the DNID in which characters "VMS" are
entered in the "Name" field for DNID. Whether to add characters "VMS" is decided
by the provider.
4-36
4.6 Data Report
4. Data Report by operating menu

There is a way to transmit the report by programming Destination and intervals with
operations of FELCOM 18 and FELCOM 19 instead of transmitting the report by use of
Polling Command.
[Report] -> 1. Data Report -> 1. Data Report to 4. Data Report:
-> Enhanced Data Report
-> Usual Data Report
[Report] -> 3. Enhanced Pre-Assigned Data Report (EPADR)
-> 1. EPADR - 4. EPADR
[Report] -> 2.Message Report is the Data Report using Message Channel.
Data Report is transmitted in the same way as TELX and E-Mail. The above Report
uses Signaling Channel; therefore the system is different.
5. Displaying Data Report

If the program is downloaded after downloading DNID, "Running Report Program
(POLL)" appears at the lower left of the Status screen.
"Data Report" appears while transmitting the Data Report.
Note)
For example, when the unit is turned ON or OFF, or when an event, such as
blocking, occurs, the report is transmitted to all valid DNIDs (LRIT and VMS).
4-37
4.6 Data Report
4.6.2 Enabling/Disabling DNID

DNID of VMS and LRIT, which is downloaded for transmitting the Data Report, can be
enabled or disabled.
However, applicability of DNID (enabled or disabled) is defined by the VMS setting
file when VMS is set to "ON."
For example, <setting key="Forbid DNID Inhibit" value="true" /> is defined in the
FFA VMS file; therefore DNID cannot be disabled. Be sure to set VMS "OFF" when
enabling or disabling DNID.
Procedure)
1. Open [Report] -> 4.Data Network ID.
2. Select the DNID to be enabled or disabled, and then press [ENTER] key.
When the password entry screen appears, enter the password “data network id,” and
then press [ENTER].

4.6.4 ON/OFF setting for LRIT Mode

If LRIT mode is set to ON,
LRIT Report has priority over EGC reception. The priority of transmission of normal
message and reception of LRIT message is the same.
For example, since transmission of the LRIT Report starts at the time set for LRIT
Report even while receiving EGC message, EGC reception is paused.
Therefore, do not set LRIT Mode “ON” if FELCOM 18 is GMDSS compliant.
If LRIT Mode is set to OFF,
EGC reception is prioritized.
Also, if LRIT Report protocol is programmed by use of EDR, attempts to retransmit
the report are made a maximum of "5 times" if the LRIT Report is not properly
transmitted while LRIT Mode is set to ON. If LRIT Mode is set to OFF,
retransmission of the LRIT Report is not carried out.
Regardless of ON/OFF setting of LRIT mode,
if MES is in busy state by message reception or other reasons, the LRIT Report is
suspended until status becomes ready. The standby time is 5 minutes.
If busy condition continues for 5 minutes, data report is not transmitted at that time.
Note)
For example, when the unit is turned ON or OFF, or when an event, such as
blocking, occurs, the report is transmitted to all valid DNIDs (LRIT and VMS).
Procedure)
To set up LRIT Mode, open [Setup] -> System -> Command Window, and then enter
the following LRIT command in JOB No.
- lrit on : Standard LRIT Mode is set.
- lrit off : Standard/Russia LRIT are set to OFF.
- lrit Russia : Russia LRIT Mode is set.

The antenna supply: TX 28 V (27 V) / RX 7 V, the transmit signal (1.6 GHz) and
receive signal (1.5 GHz) are superimposed on the Antenna coaxial cable connected to
the Terminal (Communication) unit.
As for voltage of ANT RF TX and RX circuit, the input voltage, TX 28 V (27V) / RX
7V is detected by the comparator, U1. The output controls Q7 and Q6 in order to
generate the voltage of 5 V RX and 5 V TX.
Also, the Heat detection circuit: U10 is installed to stop the transmission by setting 5 V
TX to “OFF” when the temperature is more than +95°C.
CR4 on the TX circuit is used as the Limiter. Since the Antenna coaxial cable is short
and cable loss is small, the TX PA circuit is protected from the excessive input level
even if the ANT RF input level increases.
Also, as the level diagram, transmit output of the Terminal unit is 10 to 15 dBm and
ANT RF input level is - 2 to +13 dBm. Even though the assumed range of cable loss is 2
to 12 dB, use the coaxial cable having the standard length.
For example, if 5D-FB-CV coaxial cable of which standard length is 30 meters is cut
into 15 meters, the cable loss is reduced from 8 dB to 4 dB; however the ANT RF
circuit does not break.

- FELCOM 19: 16P0284B
Although RF CON circuit of FELCOM 18 and FELCOM 19 have the same circuit
configuration, shapes of Antenna connector are different and these boards do not have
compatibility. As main features,
1) BPSK modulation is made at the transmission Base band signal (600/1200 sps TX
DATA), the modulated signal is changed to the TX RF signal (1.6 GHz) and then the
signal is output to the Antenna unit.
2) The receive signal (1.5 GHz) from the Antenna unit is changed to2nd IF-I and -Q
signals (7.5 kHz) and output to TERMCPU (COMMCPU).
3) Power supplied to antenna 28 V (27 V)/ 7 V from the TERMPWR (COMMPWR)
board is output.
4) Two PLL circuits and PLL reference oscillator (TCXO) are built in.
1. Transmit circuit
TX DATA of the Base band (600/1200 sps), which is changed to signals, are input from
the FELCCOM 18: TERMCPU (FELCOM 19: COMMCPU) board is input into the
PLL circuit consisting of U7 and U8.
PLL IC of U7 has PLL control and BPSK modulation functions and TX DATA signal is
changed to the BPSK modulated RF signal (1.6 GHz).
This signal is output to the ANT RF connector on the RF CON board via TX/RX SW
circuit on CR1, Q2, Q4 and FL1. This transmission level is 10 to 15 dBm.
Reference)
Processing method of TX DATA, which is changed to signals, varies between MES
Signaling Channel and MES Message Channel.
As for MES Signaling Channel,
BPSK modulation is made on the Base band signal (600/1200 sps) via signal
processing in "Message -> Scrambling -> Convolutional Encoding -> Adding
unique word."
As for MES Message Channel,
BPSK modulation is made on the Base band signal (600/1200 sps) via signal processing
in "Message -> Scrambling -> Convolutional Encoding -> Adding unique word."

2. Receiving circuit
The receive signal (1.5 GHz/-88 to -118 dBm), which is input to the RF CON board, is
input to the receiving circuit of CR2, U21 and U23 via the TX/RX SW circuit of CR3.
Although CR2 is the RF AGC circuit, this circuit is not being used. U23 outputs the
GPS reception signal (1575.42 MHz) is output to the internal GPS Module at DIV. The
level is -96 to -110 dBm.
DIV output at U23 is input into the 1st MIX circuit of U17 via FL4. 1st PLL output at
U7 (1629.1675 to 1636.3675 MHz) is input to 1st MIX and the reception signal at 1.5
GHz band is changed to 92.1675 MHz. This signal is input into Quadrature
Demodulator of U12 via FL2, U15 and U14.

U12 consists of the VGA circuit controlling the receiving signal level by use of the IF
AGC CTRL signal and 2 MIX. Also, differential output (184.32 MHz) of 2nd Lo PLL
of U6 is input to U12 and BPSK signal (92.1675 MHz) is changed to 2nd IF-I signal and
- Q signal of 7.5 kHz, that are output from the RF CON board, are output to the TERM
CPU (COMM CPU) board at -38 dBm(controlled signal level by AGC).
3. PLL circuit
TCXO of Y1: 30.72 MHz is the reference oscillator for 1st PLL and 2nd PLL circuit.
If the above PLL local oscillation frequency is deviated, the error rate increases without
being converted into correct frequency.
As for method of PLL control, converts the receive frequency from satellites to the Base
band in the CPU of TERMCPU (COMMCPU), performs FFT analysis, and then
controls the TCXO to make the received modulation rate (ex; 1200 sps) match the
difference of frequency /phase.
TCXO control can be checked at “TCXO Control” on the Status screen. Also, the offset
value of TCXO can be checked at "REF Offset Freq" and OK appears if this value is
150 Hz or lower.
If either of two PLL circuits becomes UNLOCKED, the error message "TROUBLE:
Synthesizer UNLOCK" appears.

5.3 BDE
As for processing of receiving signals,

I and Q signals of 2nd IF 7.5 kHz, which are input from the RF CON board, are input
into CPU via CODEC and processed to signals. For example, steps for processing
receiving signals of NCS/MES TDM channels are as follows.
I, Q Signal -> Detecting U.W (Frame Sync.) -> De-Permuting -> De-Interleaving
-> Viterbi Decoding -> De-Scrambling -> Packet detection -> Message
Transmitting signals are
processed according to channel. Processed digital data is sent to the RF CON board as
TX DATA and then converted to the RF signal of 1.6 GHz band, which is BPSK
modulated. Basic steps of processes according to channel are as follows.
- Transmission on MES Signaling Channel
Message -> Scrambling -> Convolution Encoding -> Adding U.W
-> BPSK Modulation
- Transmission on MES Message Channel
-> Interleaving-> Permuting -> Adding Pre-amble -> BPSK Modulation
- Transmission on NCS/LES TDM Channel
-> Interleaving-> Permuting -> BPSK Modulation
Convolution Encoding
Convolution Encoding (Convolution code) is a method that the receiving side
controls to decrease the error rate. This method adds the redundancy bit having the
predetermined pattern to the data bit string. By performing viterbi decoding at the
receiving side, the erroneously received bit can be corrected if the number of bits is
less than the predefined number.
Viterbi Decoding
The signal is returned to the signal on which Convolution Encoding is performed. If
any error is found, the error is corrected by Viterbi Decoding. The burst error is also
corrected by combining with the interleaving.
Scrambling
Scrambling mixes "0" and "1" moderately in order to prevent "0" or "1" from
continuing excessively. If "1" or "0" data continues when decoding BPSK modulated
wave is decoded, clock recovery would be reduced and modulation cannot be
performed. This processing prevents this problem.
De-Scrambling
Scrambled signal is decoded.
U.W (Unique Word)

The specific bit pattern is added for bit synchronization at the receiving party.
Frame Sync.
The U.W (Unique Word) is detected and synchronized with the frame signal.
5-13
5.3 BDE
Interleaving, Permuting
If there is a block error in the bit string, it is hard to correct the error.
Interleaving is used for inputting the bit rate in the Interleaving matrix and reading
out the bit rate in the appropriate sequence. Reading process is referred to a
"Permuting."
Even if a block error occurs on the communication path, the block error is dispersed
when correcting the block error at the receiving party; therefore correcting error is
easy.
De-Permuting, De-Interleaving
De-Permuting is the process used for inputting the modulated signal to the interleave
matrix by reversing procedure of Permuting.
De-Interleaving is the process used for extracting signals from the interleave matrix
by reversing the procedure of Interleaving.
Pre-amble
Preamble consists of the carrier recovery bits and the clock regeneration bits for easy
synchronization at the receiving party.
BPSK (Binary Shift Keying)

Depending on carrier phase difference, BPSK is expressed as "0" or "1". For example,
data signal "0" indicates that no phase is shifted (0 degrees); and data signal "1"
indicates that the phase is shifted 180 degrees.

BBER (Bulletin Board Error Rate)
When the receiving error rate of the bulletin board , which is located at the top of
TDM channel is over 80%, the message, "WARNING: BBER over 80%. SCANNING
NCS start manually" appears.
BBER is calculated by decoding I and Q data on the TERMCPU (COMMCPU) board
and then using this data on CPU for calculating the BBER value.
When errors are detected in one frame, BBER is raised at one count per frame, and is
the addition of 100 frames.
If the BBER value exceeds 80%, FELCOM 19 starts receiving operation for NCS
SCAN.
As for FELCOM 18, receiving operation for NCS SCAN is not performed. Change the
ocean region manually.
As possible defective area, malfunction of the receiving circuit is expected.
- Antenna unit
- RF CON board
- TERMCPU (COMMCPU) board
- Antenna coaxial cable and coaxial connector
Note)
If BBER increases even though the C/N level is OK, mixing of noise and
interference from other device is suspected.
C/N
Even if the equipment is properly operating, "NG" appears when the receive signal is
weak.
The BPSK demodulated 2nd IF-I and -Q data are decoded at the TERMCPU
(COMMCPU) board, and this data is used for calculating the C/N value on the CPU.
When the C/N level of the receive signal is greater than 31 dB, "OK" appears.
Also, the C/N value is only used for judging OK and NG.
The followings are the parts which the error may be occurred;
- Antenna unit
- RF CON board
- TERMCPU (COMMCPU) board
- Antenna blocking

Send Level
The send level detects the power supply current supplied to the Antenna unit via the
Antenna coaxial cable when the voltage upon transmission is 28 V (27 V) and the
voltage upon reception is 7 V and displays the detected level.
TERMPWR (COMMPWR) board detects the send level. The detected level upon
transmission is "ANT TX" signal and the detected level upon reception is "ANT RX"
signal.
"OK" appears if the value is lower than "25" upon reception and the value is greater
than "FELCOM 18: 100/FELCOM 19: 25" upon transmission.
For example, 10 appears upon reception and FELCOM 18: 222 appears upon
transmission. When attempting to transmit while the Send Level is lower than the
specified value, the message "TROUBLE: Carrier power level." appears.

- TERMPWR (COMMPWR) board
Antenna Power Supply

Voltage of TX28 (27) V/RX 7 V supplied to the Antenna unit via the Antenna coaxial
cable appears.
The TERMPWR (COMMPWR) board detects the voltage and the detection signal,
which is obtained by dividing the voltage is "Check V." When the voltage is out of the
ratings for transmitting and receiving, "NG" appears. Also, the message "TROUBLE:
ANT power voltage abnormality." is sent. Conditions for outputting the message are
the voltage for transmitting is out of the range "26 to 31 V" and the voltage for
receiving is out of the range "6 to 9 V."

Rx AGC Level
As for AGC, IF AGC and RF AGC are input from the TERMCPU (COMMCPU)
board to the RF CON board. As for the RX AGC Level, the IF AGC level (40 to 245)
appears. RF AGC is not used.
"NG" appears when the level is less than 60.
For example, relation between the C/N value and RX AGC Level is as follows.
However, the Rx AGC Level differs slightly due to loss of the Antenna coaxial cable
even if the C/N value is the same.
AGC Level increases if the Antenna coaxial cable loss is small.

REF Offset Freq.

"NG" appears if the value is greater than 150 Hz.
If the PLL local frequency is shifted, the error rate increases without correcting the
frequency.
PLL control converts the receiving frequency from the satellite to base band on the
CPU in TERMCPU (COMMCPU), performs FFT analysis, and controls the TCXO to
make frequency/phase difference match the received modulation rate (ex; 1200 sps).
Output of TCXO (30.72 MHz) is the reference frequency of 1st Lo and 2nd Lo PLL
circuits. When this frequency is controlled, PLL output frequency changes. In this way,
the PLL output frequency is controlled to match the relation of frequency.
REF Offset Freq displays the offset value of TCXO. If the REF Offset Freq value is
"0," the relation between the receive frequency and PLL local frequency matches.
The followings are the parts which the error may be occurred:
- RF CON board
- TERMCPU (COMMCPU) board.

8.1 Status monitor
Synthe Local
Lock Detect signals of 1st Lo and 2nd Lo PLL circuits on the RF CON board are
monitored. If any of PLL circuits is unlocked, "NG" appears. Also, the message
"TROUBLE: Synthesizer UNLOCK." is output.
The followings are the parts which the error may be occurred:
- RF CON/CPU board
- TERMCPU (COMMCPU) board.
TCXO Control
Control status of the reference oscillator: TCXO (30.72 MHz) is displayed.
The value varies depending on TCXO variation and received frequency. The range is
from 818 to 4095.
Reference)
The control voltage setting for the reference oscillator (TCXO) is stored in
EEPROM and fine control (narrow search) is performed on the basis of the
previous setting at power-up.
However, if the NCS common channel cannot be received for one minute,
coarse control (wide search) and fine control (narrow search) are performed.
When [Option] -> 8.Test -> 3.Diagnostic is executed in Furuno service mode,
the TCXO Control value (coarse control value and fine control value) can be
checked.
TCXO Control on the Status screen displays the coarse control value.

Q23. Where does the SSAS unit: IC-307 need to be installed?

The SSAS unit is installed at least two positions. Normally, the SSAS unit is installed at
the position where W/H and one more position. IC-307 needs to be installed at an
unnoticeable place, such as the back of the table.
Three SSAS units can be connected to Furuno SSAS system.
Q24. Why is the daisy chain connection used for connecting IC-307? 4-29
The daisy chain connection is used to detect error of the connection cable of IC-307.
If a cable error is detected, the error message "SSAS UNIT connection abnormality"
appears.
The [SSAS] port on the IC-318: Junction box and IC-307 (No.1, 2, 3) are connected in
such a manner that they are connected by using one cable.
Also, only for IC-307 at the end, JP-1 needs to be set to ON (jumper) and other IC-307
needs to be set to OFF (open).
For example, if ON is set to JP-1 on No.1 IC-307, cable wiring of No.2 and No.3
IC-307 are not checked.
Q25. Why is the number of units connected to IC-307 limited to three units?
Since IC-307 is connected in parallel, there is no limit.
However, if the Alert button is pressed on more than three units, photocouplers in
IC-307 cannot be fully driven; therefore the number of units is limited to three units.
9-3

Q34. What is the difference between Data Report and

Message Report in [Reports] menu? 4-36
This is the difference of Data Report protocol. A user does not care the protocol, and all
items to be reported are NAV data.
Also, the service defined as Data Report is operated by use of Signaling Channel.
However, the Message Report uses the Message Channel, which is also used for normal
communications.
Q35. Is there any restriction on capacity of the SD card?

SD HC card can be also used.
As for the SD card having capacity of greater than 2G, the SD card needs to be
formatted at the Terminal unit. The SD card having the size greater than 2G can be used,
but capacity is limited to 2G.
Q36. Where can DNID are checked? 4-38

DNID can be checked in [Reports] -> 4.Data Network ID. If DNID is enabled, the
DNID where the "*" mark is provided at "Act" is enabled.
Q37. Is it possible to loop back the SSAS message? Summary - 5

Q39. The error message "EEPROM ERROR" appears. 3-3, 3-8

EEPROM may be broken. When ordering EEPROM, report the serial number.
Q40. Although IMN is set for FELCOM 18,

IMN does not appear on the PC terminal.
Since the IMN set for FELCOM 18 is not reflected on the PC terminal, IMN needs to be
set individually.
Q41. Can IC-315 and IC-318 on Junction Box use commonly?

IC-315 and IC-318 are the basically the same. #6 and 7 on IC-315 are equivalent to
RD-A and RD-B. As for IC-318, ALM-H and ALM-C are used. Since wiring between
15-pin D-sub and IC-315 or IC-318 is the same, IC-315 and IC-318 can be used.
Q42. Calculation of Frequency from Channel

The MES operates in the TX frequency, 1626.5 MHz to 1646.5 MHz/5 kHz step and the
RX frequency, 1537.0 MHz to 1544.2 MHz/5 kHz step.
Tx Frequency (MHz)=1626.5 + 0.0025(Xch－6000)
Tx: 6000 ch -> 1626.500MHz
Rx Frequency (MHz)=1530.0 + 0.0025(Xch－8000)
