5.1Data Reporting

Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at predetermined intervals from your ship to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and other data sent from the internal GPS navigator.

The data transmitted from the FELCOM 16 is temporarily stored in a data reporting file at the LES. When an operator at your home office accesses the LES, the LES delivers the data to your home office. Some LESs may deliver it without being accessed.

Data reporting can be initiated by setting a data report on the FELCOM 16 or receiving a polling command from your home office.

FELCOM 16 offers two types of reports as follows:

•Data reporting (on MES signaling channel) Refer to paragraph 5.1.1.

•Message reporting (on MES message channel) Refer to paragraph 5.1.2.
