NCS common channel	The NCS has two major functions:
	1) Transmitting information on a com-
	mon channel.
	2) Transmitting EGC messages to MESs.
NCS/LES signalling link	This is the link between NCS and all
	LESs in its region. All EGC messages
	pass through this link.
LES TDM channel	This channel carries the circuit control
	signal for MES and transmits messages
	from LES to MES.
MES message channel	This channel carries messages from
	MES to LES.
MES signaling channel	This channel transmits requests, distress
	alerts, data reports, etc. In addition, it
	carries login and logout from MES to
	NCS.
NCS/NCS signaling link	This is the link between NCSs. It ex-
	changes data between MESs operating
	in different ocean regions.
