MARITEX Services

MARITEX provides four main services to MARITEX subscrib-
ers:

• Store-and-forward telex

• Direct dialing

• Multi address

• Semi-fax

Note:

MARITEX provides both shore-to-ship and ship-to-shore

services. This manual, however, describes only the ship-to-shore
communication procedures.

7.2 Preparations for Transmission

To transmit a message in the MARITEX system, you will need to
register three items:

• Answerback code

• Scan groups

• Station names

Registering Answerback Code

MARITEX assigns a Telex number to all MARITEX subscribers.
This number functions as an answerback code. An answerback code
contains the following:

OOOOO SHIP X

OOOOO: MARITEX-assigned five-digit Telex code
SHIP: Ship name
X: For shipboard station, normally X is entered.

The procedure for registering answerback code is the same as which
appears on page 3-1. If an answerback code was registered before
the commissioning of the MARITEX station a new answerback
code must be entered. To enter new answerback code, contact
FURUNO or authorized FURUNO agent or dealer.
