Page 10 The SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) carries subscription informa- tion from your Inmarsat Service Provider (ISP) or Net service provider on an integrated circuit. The Simrad MS50 used with the SIM card assumes the identity of the SIM card. The SIM card has its own set of numbers on which the user can be contacted irrespective of the Simrad MS50 used.
Page 11 With PC connected to Simrad MS50, the Internet Messages Service (NIMS) allows a message of maximum 1024 characters to be sent to the Simrad MS50 from a website, or from the Simrad MS50 to an e- mail address or another Simrad MS50.

Page 124: Optional Antenna Cable
General Double screen 50 Ω coaxial cable must be used for connection be- tween Simrad MS50 and the various Antenna Units. The coax cable should be secured by laying the cable in a tube and/ or by fastening the cable to avoid damage.
Page 125: Appendix Cat Commands
Hanging up – escape sequence Once the the Simrad MS50 ASD is online to another system, the only command it recognises is an escape code that contains three typed pluses, (+) which forces the Simrad MS50 ASD back to command mode.
Page 126 • Online command mode A data call is taking place and an escape sequence has been initiated, after which the Simrad MS50 ASD will respond to AT commands during the call. • Online data mode Once the Simrad MS50 ASD is connected up, anything arriving from the PC is interpreted as data and sent to the remote end and vice versa.
Page 127 Note! AT commands may be entered in either upper or lower case (not mixed). AT A ç instructs the Simrad MS50 ASD to connect the line and start the answer sequence of the incoming call. Used when not configured for auto answer.
Page 128 AT S sets and displays S register values. See "S-Register Commands". AT V ç sets the Simrad MS50 ASD response format to words or numbers: AT V0 ç selects numeric response. AT V1 ç Default selects verbal response.
Page 129 Appendix C – AT commands cont’d AT Z ç resets the Simrad MS50 ASD configuration to last saved command. Also clears the call if used when in Online Command Mode. repeats last command. Re-executes the last AT command string issued to the Simrad MS50 ASD, including redialing a telephone number.
Page 130 Simrad MS50 ASD clears call when DTR goes inactive. AT & F ç resets the Simrad MS50 ASD to factory default. The factory default is not saved as with the AT&W command, so ATZ revokes to last saved values.

Page 143: Appendix D Secure Voice (Option
Appendix D – Secure voice (option) General Simrad MS50 can be programmed to allow operation of encrypted speech through the TEL port and the FAX port when this is configured for voice service. The STU IIB/III is enabled as default on ports configured for voice service.
