1. Introduction

This booklet describes the realisation of a connection between the AES located at Brétigny and the Aussaguel GES located in the South of France via an INMARSAT satellite.

The communication between AES and GES follows the INMARSAT protocols defined in the

INMARSAT System Definition Manual (SDM).

The aim is to obtain a downlink connection established on the avionics request to the earth station, and an uplink connection established on the earth station request to the avionics.

It is necessary to use a Data-3 Gateway between the Avionics DTE and the SDU Data-2 to establish an end-to-end X.25 communication.

This documentation is only available for Satfone model equipment.

2. Purpose

Configuration of an AES and set up for a connection to a GES “AUSSAGUEL” via a communication satellite.

The following figure shows how the modules are linked together.

3.1 X.PAD with Windows

With Windows, you should set up your terminal emulation to use specific COM ports

(terminal emulation written for Windows probably will not offer other choices). An additional driver in the X.PAD package, X25COM.DRV, provides a run-time link that services both

X.PAD and serial drivers used by Windows.

The diagram below shows the standard serial communications scheme under Windows. The terminal emulation program uses the Windows Application Program Interface (API) to communicate with the serial COM ports.

The API is a series of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) functions designed for all Windows applications that want to do serial communications. These functions are linked to the application program at run-time.

The Eicon Technology driver (X25COM.DRV) is integrated into the Windows environment so that it is linked with both the API and the serial driver. It intercepts all the standard serial function calls and then redirects them to the appropriate driver.

If the data is for a serial COM port, then X25COM will send it to the normal serial driver.

Data directed to a COM port designated for X.25 communications will be sent to the X.PAD

module and from there to the EiconCard X.25 Gateway.

Remark : The EC commands are a group of programs that allow to control OSI PC Gateway functions [Ref. 2]. Run them from the command line or in batch files to start and stop the gateway, and obtain status and statistics.

The EiconCard/PC 1 MB is a sophisticated communications card that allows (with the appropriate software) to link to X.25 network.

3.2 EC Commands

The Eicon commands are used to start, configure, test, examine, and stop the Eicon

Technology Gateway [Ref. 2].

Test of the EiconCard with a test program (ECTEST.EXE) in directory c:\OSIGATE. It verifies the integrity of the hardware component of the gateway through a series of tests. The

EiconCard must be configured with the configuration program before it can be tested.

If you try to run ECTEST without using the /FOrce parameter on an EiconCard that has an application running, a warning will be issued and no tests will be performed. When the /FOrce parameter is used, the EiconCard is halted without warning and ECTEST performs its diagnostics. The EiconCard software must be re-loaded when testing is complete.

ECTEST /FO

Forces deactivation of any loaded EiconCard without warning the operator, and tests them.

ECTEST Display Screen

A screen similar to the following appears when you run ECTEST.

You must re-start the PC “Avionics DTE” to re-load the EiconCard software.

Each time an EiconCard is tested, the validity of its configuration (EiconCard type, I/O

Address, Memory Segment and IRQ) is verified. If a configuration error is detected, no further tests are performed until a correct EiconCard configuration is created with the configuration program (ECCFG) [Ref. 2].

3.4 Software set up

♦

The PAD will run under Windows, therefore the two following programs are needed.

•

X25COM.DRV, in directory c:\osigate. It is the X25 communications driver.

•

METHOD.EXE, in directory c:\osigate. It is the COM Port Method Utility.

♦

To load the PAD, ECXPAD.INI file is necessary in directory c:\osigate.

The ECXPAD.INI file determines the initial configuration of the X.PAD driver

(ECXPAD.EXE), as well as such aspects of the X.PAD environment as the size of the working buffers and the communications interrupt that the driver uses [Ref. 2].

♦

Config.sys and Autoexec.bat of the PC “Avionics DTE” are given in Annex 1.

4. Configuration of the PC “SITA data-3 Gateway”

4.1 Functionality

The Data-3 gateway provides the following functions :

Perform the ISO 8208 InterWorking Function as specified in Inmarsat SDM CN 56

Appendix 10. This allows the Gateway to establish, maintain and clear virtual connections (VCs) and relay data between the satellite Sub-Network and X.25

network.

The Data-3 GATEWAY PC has for this reason been fitted with two communication cards :

• an ARTIC 429 Receive/Transmit Interface card.

• an EiconCard/PC 1MB X.25 Interface card with OSI-PC Gateway software.

4.2 EC Commands

The Eicon commands are used to start, configure, test, examine, and stop the Eicon

Technology Gateway [Ref. 2].

Test of the EiconCard with a test program (ECTEST.EXE) in directory c:\OSIGATE. It verifies the integrity of the hardware component of the gateway through a series of tests. The

EiconCard must be configured with the configuration program before it can be tested.

If you try to run ECTEST without using the /FOrce parameter on an EiconCard that has an application running, a warning will be issued and no tests will be performed. When the /FOrce parameter is used, the EiconCard is halted without warning and ECTEST performs its diagnostics. The EiconCard software must be re-loaded when testing is complete.

8. Connection start up

8.1 Introduction :

The objectif of this chapter is to obtain a Log-on with a GES (AUSSAGUEL).There is a SDU

Log file in Annex 3 and a Gateway Log file in Annex 4.

To get a connection Uplink or Downlink, execute the following steps.

•

Start up

•

PAD start up “Avionics DTE”

•

Data-3 Gateway execution

•

Uplink or Downlink TRANSPAC connection (X.25 Network)

•

Uplink or Downlink SITA connection (X.25 Network)

8.2 Start up

To start the RACAL SDU equipment (SATFONE model) it is just necessary to switch on the rack to perform a log-on.

Both the avionics DTE and the Data-3 Gateway must be switched on together. Normally, when you start the PCs the following EC Commands are include in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

CD \OSIGATE

ECBIOS START /Int 5A /Pool 20

ECCARD START /M 16 /NCB 16

You need to have a screen similar to the following appearing on the two PCs.

manual.doc

Page n° 20

EEC V 1.00 Satfone Communication set up

Ø Explanation of the commands in AUTOEXEC.BAT

ECBIOS.EXE for DOS

ECBIOS.EXE is a program that must be loaded to operate the DOS gateway. This program links the gateway PC to the EiconCard contained within. (It is a TSR acting as a device driver.)

ECBIOS START /Int 5A /Pool 20

This command starts ECBIOS, it uses interrupt 5A for operation under Microsoft Windows, and reserves a buffer pool 20K for all sessions originating from the gateway.

ECCARD START /M 16 /NCB 16

This command loads and starts the EiconCard. ECCARD is executed after ECBIOS is loaded, and must be run to operate the gateway. The size (M) of the MAIL trace buffer and the size (Ncb) of the NCB trace buffer on the EiconCard, in kilobytes. This is used to perform an internal mail trace and an internal NCB trace.

The Eicon Technology Gateway uses Network Control Bloks (NCBs) to communicate with the

EiconCard.

8.3 PAD start up “Avionics DTE”

The X.PAD icon is under the X.25 Communication Windows

1

Start the X.PAD under DOS

ECXPAD START

(This executable is in this directory c:\OSIGATE) [Ref. 2].

2

Run Windows.

3

In the X.25 Communication window, choose the X.PAD icon.

The prompt XPAD will appear (XPAD :) manual.doc

Page n° 21

EEC V 1.00 Satfone Communication set up

8.4 Data-3 Gateway execution on the PC “SITA Data-3 Gateway”

You must start the Gateway after “Logged on” is obtained by the SDU.

ECMODULE is used to examine the protocol information streaming through the Eicon

Technology Gateway, and to provide statistical information about the various connections. The information is obtained directly from the appropriate EiconCard Loadable Module (ELM).

We can used here before starting the gateway the ECTRACE command.

The ECTRACE utility provided with Eicon’s software permits to keep a trace of the X.25

packets that are exchanged by the EiconCard and the network. To use this facility with the

Gateway, the following steps must be executed.

1- Enable tracing by typing :

ECMODULE TRACE X25 /S 32000 /T 259

(in the directory c:\OSIGATE) [Ref. 2]

2- Start the Gateway :

Gateway

(This executable file is in this directory c:\GATEWAY) [Ref. 3]

3- After quitting the gateway----get the X.25 trace by typing :

ECMODULE TRACE X25

ECMODULE TRACE X25 > X25TRACE.TXT

Redo step 1 to reinitialise the trace buffer.

<- to display at the screen [Ref. 2]

<- to send to X25TRACE.TXT file

Note : If you want execute the Data-3 Gateway without X.25 Trace run step 2.

manual.doc

Page n° 22

EEC V 1.00 Satfone Communication set up

When the Gateway program is started, the following menu will be displayed :

S) Data-3 Gateway Setup

T) Data-3 Gateway

Q) Quit to MS-DOS

If the user selects option

S

, he will be asked three questions :

GTW Identity = 0

Connected to = 0

(0= AES, 1 = GES)

(0 = SDU, 1 = STE)

429 Debugging Menu = 0

The default values are AES mode and Gateway to SDU connection. Once the Gateway is configured, its main menu can be activated by typing

T

.

A screen similar will appear.
