10. NBDP TRANSMITTING, RECEIVING

10.9.2Preparations

To use automatic telex, you will need to register three items:

•Answerback code

•Scan groups

•Station names

Registering answerback code

The coast station assigns a Telex number. This number functions as an answerback code. An answerback code contains the following:

OOOOOSHIP X

OOOOO:Coast station-assigned five-digit telex code SHIP: Ship name

X:For shipboard station, normally X is entered.

The procedure for registering the answerback code is the same as which appears on page 8-1. If an answerback code was registered before the commissioning of the coast station, a new answerback code must be entered. To enter a new answerback code, contact FURUNO or an authorized FURUNO agent or dealer.

Registering scan groups

The central system emits a free-signal to indicate a coast station radio channel is in idle condition and available for ship-to-shore calls. The free-signal is detected and recognized by the shipboard equipment as a permission to start the transmission. Then, the shipboard operator initiates a call.

You can scan search for the free-signal automatically by registering coast station radio channels in scan group(s). The procedure for registering scan groups for coast station use is the same as that which appears on page 8-7.

Registering stations

The next step is to enter station name. The procedure is the same as that shown on page 8-3.
