5.4.2 How to display EGC closed network ID (ENID)
To join a FleetNET service, an MES must be registered with an information provider.
The information provider adds the MES to the group which is to receive the service,
by downloading a Group Call ID (via an LES which supports FleetNET broadcasts),
uniquely addressed to the MES. The MES stores the ID and can accept broadcasts
from the information provider. The MES operator cannot change this stored EGC
closed network IDs (ENIDs). Up to 64 ENIDs are stored on a non-volatile memory.
The ENID stored can be accessed for downloading and deleting via the satellite path.
An MES operator can inhibit (or activate as required), via the terminal unit, selected
ENIDs previously downloaded.
Along with the ENID the name of the information provider is stored. In the event that
a download command is received and the ENID storage area is full, an ENID which
has been disabled by the MES operator will be written over. If none has been disabled,
then the new download is not accepted.
Follow the procedure below to inhibit or activate an ENID.
1. Press the F4 and 2 keys to show the [EGC Network ID] screen.
2. Select the ENID to enable or disable.
3. Press the Enter key to enable or disable the ENID as appropriate. The asterisk
disappears when an ENID is disabled.
4. Long-press the Esc key to return to the standby display.
