MES interface	The MES consists of the Data Circuit
	Terminating Equipment (DCE) and the
	Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). The
	DCE consists of the antenna unit and
	the communication unit. And the DTE
	consists of the terminal unit (or a PC),
	keyboard and printer.
Terrestrial network	The major functions of the LESs are:
interface
	1) Telex store-and-forward conversion
	2)	Handling EGC messages
	3)	Handling distress alerts
	4)	Data Reporting and Polling

Class 1	1)	Transmits messages to LES
	2)	Receives messages from LES
Class 2	1)	The functions of class 1 plus opera-
		tion as an EGC receiver when not
		transmitting or receiving.
	2)	EGC-only receiver
Class 3	The function of class 1 plus simulta-
	neous operation as a EGC-only receiver.
