Furuno RC-1500-1T manual Mutual Operation of Equipment, Connection between DSC-60 and DP-6

1.3 Mutual Operation of Equipment

As noted earlier, the equipment in this radio console are interfaced by FURUNO's MIF radio interface. For example, to transmit a message over the DSC-60 or DP-6, the Tx and Rx frequen- cies and class of emission are automatically set on the FURUNO SSB Radiotelephone and then the message is transmitted.

Two printers are supplied and one is dedicated to the Inmarsat C. The other printer is for both the DSC-60 and DP-6. If the DP-6 is used (message transmission or reception), this printer is automatically connected to the DP-6 to print out the data. When the printer selector switch in the console is set to the “AUTO” position, it automatically connects one of those equipment to the printer on a first-come-first-served basis. For example, if the DSC-60 is used (message transmission or reception), the printer selector switch automatically connects the printer to the DSC-60 and disconnects itself from other equipment.

Connection between DSC-60 and DP-6

Suppose you transmitted a call over the DSC-60 and want to communicate with the receiving station by the DP-6 instead of FURUNO SSB Radiotelephone. If the DSC-60 and DP-6 were not connected you would have to set the several data such as working frequency, communica- tion mode, etc. manually on the DP-6. Because they are connected by the remote function, however, the data mentioned above are automatically set on the DP-6 via the DSC-60.
