Furuno RC-1500-1T Preparations for Transmission, MARITEX Services, Registering Answerback Code

MARITEX Services

MARITEX provides four main services to MARITEX subscrib- ers:

•Store-and-forward telex

•Direct dialing

•Multi address

•Semi-fax

Note: MARITEX provides both shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore services. This manual, however, describes only the ship-to-shore communication procedures.

7.2 Preparations for Transmission

To transmit a message in the MARITEX system, you will need to register three items:

•Answerback code

•Scan groups

•Station names

Registering Answerback Code

MARITEX assigns a Telex number to all MARITEX subscribers. This number functions as an answerback code. An answerback code contains the following:

OOOOOSHIP X

OOOOO:MARITEX-assigned five-digit Telex code SHIP: Ship name

X:For shipboard station, normally X is entered.

The procedure for registering answerback code is the same as which appears on page 3-1. If an answerback code was registered before the commissioning of the MARITEX station a new answerback code must be entered. To enter new answerback code, contact FURUNO or authorized FURUNO agent or dealer.
