DNID – DATA NETWORK ID
To be able to use the data-/position reporting mode in the Inmarsat-C system you
need a so-called DNID number. DNID stands for Data Network Identity.
DNID:
The DNID number refers to a mailbox at the Land Earth Station (LES) where all
position/data reports from your easyTracks will be sent. With one DNID number you
can track up to 255 easyTracks. If you have a fleet with more than 255 easyTracks
you will need two or more DNID numbers.
Member Number:
To be able to distinguish between the 255 easyTracks on one DNID number, each of
the easyTrack units has a unique member number, which can be between 1 and
255. See figure 6 visualizing a fleet of easyTracks.
