IV. SATCOM Service
Nearly all of the features offered with MagnaStar digital handset are
available with the SATCOM service connection. The MagnaStar
C-2000 Digital Airborne Telephone system connects to Inmarsat
Satellite equipment (SATCOM) to provide complete telephony service
from your cabin telecommunications system, the C-2000 system.
All of the communications capabilities of the C-2000 system are
available for your use (subject to possible limitations of the SATCOM
equipment) following the same steps as previously described within
this Users Guide.
NOTE: The analog “Handset Mode” interface refers to the WH-10 handset inter-
face of SATCOM equipment. The “PBX Mode”interface, offered by some
SATCOM system providers,allows you to utilize more of the telephony
services of the MagnaStar C-2000 System (e.g. Credit card billing and
expanded range of Terminal IDs).
A. ServiceFor an aircraft configured with both the MagnaStar C-2000 and a SAT-
COM system, the C-2000 allows selection of either communications
link (Air-Ground or SATCOM) as the default link. See Section VI,D1
for default link setup. The default link selected is highlighted on the
“Services”handset screen.
B. Placing a Voice CallTo place a voice call using the SATCOM default communications link,
place the handset off-hook. Choose “1”(Voice),then enter “00”+
Country Code + City Code + Number. Because international telephone
numbers vary in the number of digits,pressing “+”(OK) after the
number has been entered will send it immediately. If “+”(OK) is not
pressed, there will be a ten (10) second delay before it is sent.
When the call is made via a SATCOM channel,the “Acquiring
Satcom”menu will be displayed, followed by the “Connected”screen.
NOTE: If you make a mistake when entering a number, press “*” to clear the
digits and dial the numbers again.
To end a call,place the handset on-hook or press “End Call.”
