5. DATA REPORTING AND POLLING
5.2

Polling

When the FELCOM receives a polling command from your home office it
automatically transmits data to your home office. The data are position, speed,
bearing and other data sent from a navigator or an interface unit.
A polling command from your home office can also activate a data report or
message report if the corresponding setting is completed on the FELCOM. If a
polling command with a file name is received, the FELCOM transmits the file to
your home office.

Polling commands

This paragraph shows you how to make the polling command at your home
office.
There are two kinds of polling commands: one is sent on the MES signalling
channel and the other is sent on the MES message channel.
Polling command on MES signalling channel
Request a land station to make the polling command because the format varies
with land station.
Polling command on MES message channel
To make the polling command, enter D???, hyphen, PIN code (max. 8 digits),
hyphen, file name (stored in the floppy disk of the FELCOM), colon and text of
message.
To send file data, type a hyphen and file name. If no hyphen and file name is
entered, MES automatically transmits nav data (own ship position, course,
speed, etc). For PIN Code setting, refer to paragraph 5.1.2.
