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.
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.
