3.4.1 MPDS Connection 
The Mobile Packet Data Service (MPDS) provides the 
mobile user with an economic and flexible data connection. 
The user is only charged by the transferred traffic (in MB). 
This means that for applications like Web browsing, email 
services, IP/LAN connectivity, small to medium size file 
transfer, the MPDS will be the most economic and 
convenient solution. The maximum data transfer rate is 64 
kbit/s to the terminal and 28 kbps from the terminal.  
A connection can be started automatically by an application 
like Internet Explorer or Outlook Express. The connection 
can also be established manually. In windows, open Dial-
Up networking and double click the appropriate icon. Enter 
username and password if necessary. Click ‘Connect’. Wait 
for the connection to be completed, indicated by a ‘Dial-up 
Networking’ icon in the task bar tray.  
To disconnect: Right click the tray icon and choose 
‘Disconnect’. 
See section 5.2.1 on how to setup the computer and 
transceiver for an MPDS connection. 
While in MPDS mode the TT-3088A is flagged busy in the 
Inmarsat network. This means that the Fleet system is not 
able to receive any incoming calls until it returns to normal 
idle mode. However, the user can enable the Call Waiting 
Notification feature. This allows the system to receive voice
