NCS common channel
The NCS has two major functions:
1) Transmitting information on a common channel.
2) Transmitting EGC messages to MESs.
NCS/LES signaling link
This is the link between NCS and all LESs in its
region. All EGC messages pass through this link.
LES TDM channel
This channel carries the circuit control signal for
MES and transmits messages from LES to MES.
MES message channel
This channel carries messages from MES to LES.
MES signaling channel
This channel transmits requests, distress alerts, data
reports, etc. In addition, it carries login and logout
from MES to NCS.
NCS/NCS signaling link
This is the link between NCSs. It exchanges data
between MESs operating in different ocean regions.
MES interface
The MES consists of the Data Circuit Terminating
Equipment (DCE) and the Data Terminal Equipment
(DTE). The DCE consists of the antenna unit, and
the DTE consists of a terminal unit, a keyboard and
printer.
Terrestrial network
The major functions of the LESs are:
interface
1) Telex store-and-forward conversion
2) Handling EGC messages
3) Handling distress alerts
4) Data Reporting and Polling
