The list below gives an overview of the
features to be found:
• On board communication
• Distribute satellite communication
• Talk back command
• Conference calls
• Public Address (PA)
• Time distribution
• Wake up calls
• Call Data Management
3.2.1 On board communication
On board conversations between bridge,
ECR, cabins, offices, work shop, deck etc
All locations, no matter if it is dry, wet, noisy or
dirty, can be covered by either an plain old
analogue telephone or one of our
communication stations with handset, headset
or loudhailer
3.2.2 Distribute satcom
Calls from the ship to shore can be conducted
from all places on board The seaman can
have his privacy by calling the family from his
cabin for example
Calls from shore to ship can be distributed to
all locations on board, typically to bridge,
captains cabin or to ship office You don’t
have to be on the bridge to answer Your
incoming satellite calls
3.2.3 Talk back
Our communication station SeaCom 211 can
be used to implement the classical talk-back
functions A call from bridge to mooring
stations for example, can be set up from
bridge, without hands-on on deck Groups of
stations can be addressed simultaneously
when performing a command group
conference call
3.2. Conference
The system allows for conference calls with
one initiator and up to 10 participants
Users can set up a fixed conference, or the
conference can be dynamic created, left and
joined

The SeaCom communication system can
distribute public address (acoustic paging) to
all stations with loudspeakers
The system gives possibility of defining groups
with priority levels The system can be set up
to send a gong signal preceding the spoken
message
PA calls are initiated from telephones and
communication stations, and does not require
special control stations with goose neck
microphones
3.2.6 Time distrib and wake up
Using telephones with display gives the
possibility for displaying the ships clock on the
telephones The time displayed can be set
manually by a simple telephone call, or the
SeaCom communication system can receive
the time from a central clock system using
serial NMEA communication
Based on the system time, wake up calls can
be ordered from any telephone connected to
the system
3.2.7 Call Data Management
A ship owner that wants to register calls made
via the satellite equipment connected can
make use of our Call Data Management
system
The seamen are given accounts and PIN
codes which are used to open the access to
the satellite lines When conversations are
conducted, call data records are stored on the
system disk Based on these stored data, the
responsible officer can print invoices covering
the telephone calls made

4. Designing a system
The intentions of this chapter is to be a guide
to how to approach the task of designing an
on board communication system, how to
choose the right system components, and how
to build the exchange system
It is to be used by the people who makes
quotations to ship yards and ship owners, as
well as the technicians who is actually
assembling the components
.1 Analyzing
All ships have different needs This is what
makes design and installation of on board
communication challenging The SeaCom
maritime communication system is a very
flexible configurable system which allows You
to meet by far the most requirements
In order to architecture a proper system, You
must first collect information about:
• Number of location that need
communication
• The environment to be expected at each
location
• Type of communication to be carried out
at each location
• Number of Satellite lines to be connected
.1.1 Counting locations
The number of locations needing telephones
must be determined This is done in
cooperation with ship architect and owner
The number determines the size of the
exchange system to be chosen
.1.2 Environment
On each location, the expected noise level
must be known, and the location must be
classified as protected or exposed, where
protected areas are locations like cabins,
offices and bridge, whereas exposed will be
areas like engine room, mooring stations or
workshops
.1.3 Type of communication
On each location it must be chosen which kind
of communication is most convenient The
SeaCom maritime communication system
offers the below communication styles:
• Handset conversation
• Hands-free conversations
• PTT mode (push to talk)
• Headset conversation
Each station can offer the seamen one or
more of these styles It is important to select a
style that fits to the needs and which can be
operational in the given environment for the
intended use
.1. Satellite lines
Count how many 2 wire trunk lines will be
needed for connecting satellite communication
equipment
.1.5 Audio I/O
Count how many I/O channels are used for
radio music and output to external amplifier
units etc
.2 Selecting telephones/stations
Based on the analysis, the equipment to be
placed at each location must be selected
The table below shows typical noise levels to
be encountered on ships
Locat on No se level dB
Accommodat on < 60
Br dge 50-60
Eng ne control room 65-75
Eng ne spaces 80-100
Steer ng gear room 100-120
Close to eng ne or generators 100-130
The table shall be used as a guide only to
choose among the numerous possibilities
given by the SeaCom maritime
communication system
The below describes which type of station to
be used in each type of environment
.2.1 Analogue telephones
Plain analogue telephones are to be used in
protected areas only The TX-325, has the
below operating range:
Hands free up to 65 dB noise
Handset conversations up to 75dB of noise
.2.2 SeaCom 11
This station gives the following possibilities in
protected environment:
• Hands free with build in speaker and
microphone up to 75 dB

SeaCom System Manual Page 22 of 139
SeaCom 10-600-0010_0405 TMN100510CJ01_0405
• Hands free with external speaker up to 85
db of ambient noise
• Push to talk conversations with external
speaker up to 100 dB of noise
• Handset conversations up to 85 dB of
noise
• Operation with headset in up to 120 dB of
noise
.2.3 SeaCom 211
The talk back station is a station to be used in
exposed environment with the below
capabilities:
• Push to talk operation up to 100 dB
• Headset operation up to 120 dB of noise
.2. SeaCom 21
This is the most full featured station, to be
used in exposed areas under the below
conditions:
• Hands free with build in speaker and
microphone up to 75 dB
• Hands free with external speaker up to 85
db of ambient noise
• Push to talk conversations with external
speaker up to 100 dB of noise
• Handset conversations up to 85 dB of
noise
• Operation with headset in up to 120 dB of
noise
.2.5 SeaCom 220
This is a plain analogue telephone with
optional handset or headset To be used in
exposed areas
The capability for operation in noisy areas are:
• Handset operation up to 85 dB
background noise
• Headset operation up to 100 dB of noise
.3 Selecting the exchange system
Based on the analysis , the basic exchange
system must be selected, Either the SeaCom
3000 (refer to own manual), the SeaCom
2100, or our 19'' systems
And the circuit boards to be added to this
basic system must be chosen
The choice depends on how many extension
boards and trunk boards that are needed, and
the number of CTU’2 (cable termination units)
and PDU’s (power distribution units) needed
to actually terminate the ship cables for the
purpose
.3.1 Choosing AEXTxx-xx
The total number of extension lines including
lines for the stations SeaCom 411, SeaCom
211 and SeaCom 421 shall be counted
Add 8, 16 or 24 lines AEXTxx-xx cards to
meet the requirement
.3.2 Trunk and audio I/O (FIOx
Next count the number of 2 wire trunk lines
needed for connecting satellite communication
equipments, and the number of audio in/out
needed for connecting music and external
amplifiers to the system
Add the required number of FIO2 or FIO4 to
meet the requirement
.3.3 Cable terminations (CTU)
Now all the AEXT cards and FIO card need
cable termination units The CTU2 terminates
16 telephone lines and 2 trunk lines, whereas
the AEXT24 terminates 24 telephone lines
only
If audio I/O and relay functions of the FIO
cards are in use, add CTU's to support this as
well
.3. Power distribution (PDU)
The number of stations requiring 24V DC
power must be counted These are the
stations SeaCom 411, SeaCom 211and
SeaCom 421 If the number is 4 or less, the
auxillary output of the power input module
(PIM) found internal to the exchange systems
can be used for powering these stations If the
number is 5 or more, a PDU (power
distribution unit) must be added for each 32
stations
.3.5 Conclusion
Finally it must be checked that the number of
cards and CTU's will fit within the chosen
SeaCom system For the SeaCom 2100 and
19'', a maximum of 18 card spaces are
available, one of which must be the CP card
And the maximum number of CTU's and
PDU's are 16
