Inmarsat-C Interface

The Inmarsat satellite network is the world wide satellite network of
four geostationary satellites providing excellent network coverage
between 70° North and 70° South. Inmarsat-C, a global satellite
communication service, enables the users to send and receive data from/
to a mobile terminal via Internet e-mail and PSTN fax.

The QML logger supports Inmarsat-C transceiver model TT-3026L/M
manufactured by Thrane & Thrane. The transceiver is connected to the
logger using the RS-232 connection. With the transceiver you can send
StringForm reports up to 10 Kilobytes from the QML logger via
Internet e-mail or PSTN fax. You can also send terminal commands via
Internet e-mail to the logger. The logger processes the commands and
sends command response back as an e-mail reply.

The QML logger also has support for the GPS receiver included in TT-
3026L/M. The GPS receiver provides accurate time, position, and also
speed. These can be utilized in calculations and reports, and to
automatically adjust the system time.
