Choose an 5-, 7-, or 8-bit character format based on the message that
will be sent:
– 5-bit characters: All characters are written using 5 bits per
character, which reduces the message size. However, some special
characters will be unavailable because the 5-bit alphabet is a
reduced character set.
– 7-bit characters: All characters are written using 7 bits per
character. This is the preferred setting because most characters are
available but the message size is smaller than an 8-bit message.
– 8-bit characters: All characters are written using 8 bits per
character, resulting in no reduction in size. This is the setting that
should be used when sending messages that include HTML.

Using the eTrac Tracking Feature
The eTrac system can also be used to provide regular position reports. eTrac supports
standard Inmarsat-defined data reporting and position reporting and is fully
compatible with the Thrane & Thrane Capsat Manager fleet tracking program.
When an e-mail is transmitted, the eTrac system is identified to the recipient by its
Mobile Number. When using the tracking feature, the GPS position data is
transmitted in a very compact format that uses a different ID and signficantly reduces
the cost compared to normal messages.
