In a mobile satellite system, a mobile communication system includes a system for managing a mobile satellite system and a mobile communication system responsively connected thereto for registration. The system includes a management system (CMIS) requesting registration of the mobile communication system in the satellite communication system and creating a CMIS record responsive thereto, and a protocol conversion system (DM). The DM performs the functions of receiving and converting the CMIS record to a common record, and transmitting the registration request to the central controller of the CGS. The DM also receives a registration acknowledgement from the central controller indicating that the registration request was completed by the CGS, converts the registration acknowledgement into the common record, and transmits the registration acknowledgement to the CMIS. The DM also receives a ready indication for a commissioning status message from the central controller, transmits the status change response to the CMIS indicating a ready for commissioning status. The DM receives and transmits to the CMIS an operational/failed status message indicating whether the mobile communication system was successfully commissioned.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] In a mobile satellite system including a satellite communication switching office having a satellite antenna for receiving/transmitting a satellite message via a satellite from/to a mobile communication system, a satellite interface system, a central controller receiving/transmitting the satellite message from/to the satellite communication switching office issued from the vehicle via the satellite and the satellite interface system, a method of managing a mobile satellite system and a mobile communication system responsively connected thereto for registration, said method comprising the steps of:(a) requesting registration of the mobile communication system in the satellite communication system in a management system (CMIS) and creating a CMIS record;(b) transmitting the CMIS record from the CMIS to a protocol conversion system (DM);(c) converting, via the DM, the CMIS record to a common record;(d) logging, via the DM, the common record in a message log with a log status of captured from the CMIS;(e) transmitting, via the DM, the common record to a DM server corresponding thereto;(f) receiving, via the DM server, the common record and updating the log status to started;(g) storing, via the DM server, an object in a DM object table responsive to the registration request;(h) determining, via the DM server, whether all messages including the common record have been received;(i) repeating steps (e)-(h) until all the messages are received as determined in step (h);(j) retrieving, by the DM server, when all the messages are received, data records from a database relating to the common record, validating the data and reformatting the registration request to be transmitted to the satellite communication system (CGS);(k) updating, by the DM server, an outbound CGS queue for transmission of the registration request to the CGS;(l) determining a communication status of the CGS before transmitting the registration request;(m) transmitting, by the DM server, the registration request to the central controller of the CGS, and updating the log status to transmitted to the CGS;(n) receiving, by the DM server, an acknowledgment that the central controller received the registration request;(o) converting, by the DM server, the acknowledgment into the common record;(p) logging, by the DM server, the log status to captured from the central controller with respect to the registration request;(q) updating, by the DM server, a functional status of the registration request to acknowledged by the central controller;(r) receiving, by the DM server, a registration acknowledgement from the central controller indicating that the registration request was completed by the CGS;(s) converting, by the DM server, the registration acknowledgement into the common record and logging the registration acknowledgement as captured;(t) updating, by the DM server, the functional status of the registration request to registered;(u) formatting, by the DM server, a status change response;(v) determining, by the DM server, the communication status of the CMIS before transmitting the status change response;(w) transmitting, by the DM server, the status change response to the CMIS;(x) receiving, by the DM server, a ready indication for a commissioning status message from the central controller;(y) converting, by the DM server, the ready indication into the common record and logging the ready indication as captured;(z) updating, by the DM server, the functional status of the registration request to ready for commissioning;(aa) transmitting, by the DM server, the status change response to the CMIS indicating that the mobile communication system is ready to be commissioned;(bb) receiving, by the DM server, an operational/failed status message indicating whether the mobile communication system was successfully commissioned;(cc) converting, by the DM server, the operational/failed status message into the common record and logging the operational/failed status message as captured;(dd) updating, by the DM server, the functional status of the registration request to one of operational and failed;(ee) formatting the status change response reflecting the functional status updated in step (dd);(ff) determining, by the DM server, the communication status of the CMIS before transmitting the status change response;(gg) transmitting, by the DM server, the status change response to the CMIS indicating that the mobile communication system is the one of operational and failed;(hh) updating, by the DM server, the functional status of the registration request to complete;(ii) transmitting, by the DM server, each discrete transaction to the CMIS indicating that the registration request is complete.
