Configuration using proAIS2
For configuration purposes only, it is possible to power the AIS
transceiver via its USB connection. This is useful if you wish to con-
figure your AIS transceiver away from the vessel power supply. The
AIS transceiver will not transmit any data or acquire a GPS position
fix whilst powered by USB.
You will require the following information in order to configure your
AIS transceiver:
•
MMSI
•
Vessel name
•
Vessel type
•
Call sign
Vessel dimensions and position of your GPS antenna installation.
For further assistance in configuring your AIS transceiver, please
refer to the Help menu within proAIS2.
Warning:
Please ensure that you enter all vessel data ac-
curately. Failure to do so could result in other vessels failing to
identify your vessel correctly. The vessel MMSI can only be pro-
grammed once using proAIS2, please take care to programme
your MMSI correctly. If you need to change the MMSI for any
reason, please contact your dealer who will arrange to have the
MMSI reset.
