Figure 3-1: Logging in to the NCS
Once the eTrac is logged in to an NCS, several LESes are available to transmit data.
You will need to select an LES prior to initiating a transmission so that the eTrac
knows which LES to use. A default LES can be selected by choosing Options-> Set
Default LES, which will open the selection screen shown in Figure 3-2.

Using eTrac to Send and Receive E-mail

The eTrac system is capable of sending and receiving e-mail messages wherever your
vessel is cruising. To do so, you will need to use the easyMail application (or some
other Inmarsat mini-C protocol-compatible e-mail application). The easyMail
software, developed by Thrane & Thrane, works in much the same way as the e-mail
applications typically found on home and office computers but uses the Inmarsat
mini-C communications protocol.
