GENERAL CONFIGURATION
There are a couple of general configurations that need to be configured before the
easyTrack is ready to be installed on a vehicle.
7.1
Preferred Ocean Region
If the easyTrack is used in one ocean region only you should configure the preferred
ocean region option. This is done with easyMail by choosing the Set Preferred
Ocean menu. See figure 11:
Figure 11: Set Preferred Ocean Menu
The “Set Preferred Ocean” determines which ocean region the easyTrack shall scan
for if it loses sight of the used satellite.
If Preferred Ocean is set to “None” then it will scan all ocean regions.
If the easyTrack is used in one ocean region then it is recommended to set the
Preferred Ocean to the satellite in question.
For further detailed information about Preferred Ocean Region Settings refer to
TT3026L/M easyTrack Transceiver Software Interface Reference Manual (TT-98-
116080)
7.2
EGC – Enhanced Group Call
If there is no need for the broadcasted Inmarsat-C system information it is
recommended to disable reception of all EGC messages as this just fills up the
flashdisk storage in the easyTrack. Select “EGC Set-up” menu in easyMail to do this.
See the menu in figure 12 below:
