5. DATA REPORTING AND POLLING
This chapter provides the information necessary for data reporting and polling
reception. Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at regular
intervals from your ship to your home office. When your ship receives a polling
command from your home office; that is, a request for navigation data from your
ship, it automatically transmits this data to your home office.
No operator intervention is required during polling reception.

5.1 Data Reporting
Data reporting provides automatic data transmission at predetermined intervals
from your ship to your home office. The data are position, speed, bearing and
other data sent from the internal GPS navigator.
The data transmitted from the FELCOM 16 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 16 or
receiving a polling command from your home office.
FELCOM 16 offers two types of reports as follows:
•
Data reporting (on MES signaling channel)
Refer to paragraph 5.1.1.
•
Message reporting (on MES message channel)
Refer to paragraph 5.1.2.
