Data Reporting
Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at regular (pre-
set) intervals from your ship to your home office. The data are posi-
tion, speed, bearing and other data sent from a navigational equipment
or an interface unit.
The data transmitted from the FELCOM 12 is temporarily stored in a
data reporting file at the LES. When an operator at your home office
accesses the LES, the LES delivers the data to your home office.
Some LESs may deliver it without being accessed.
Data reporting can be initiated by setting a data report on the FELCOM
12 or receiving a polling command from your home office.
