Operational Characteristics
General
•
The equipment receives one facsimile image or naxtex message at a time. Thus, a
navtex message cannot be received when a facsimile image is being received and vice
versa, regardless of navtex message category.
•
Three receiving modes are available, facsimile, navtex, and facsimile(timer) & navtex.
When using the facsimile(timer) and navtex, the order of priority is
Facsimile(timer) (highest priority) → Navtex (lowest priority)
•
The FAX-30 does not have an internal clock, so time is input from the NavNet display or
the PC. (For PC-only configuration, time data is read when the browser accesses the
FAX-30. Therefore, turn on the FAX-30 before accessing it from the PC to allow for input
of time data, which is necessary for facsimile timer recording.) To receive time data, do
the following:
NavNet: Output the date and time data sentence ZDA through the NavNet network.
PC: Set the PC’s clock to the correct time.
•
If both a NavNet series unit and a PC are used, it is recommended to operate the FAX-30
from the PC because of the two different communication protocols. (Use the NavNet
series unit to feed navigation data to the PC.)
•
Navigation data must be fed through the network to use the automatic navtex mode.
Therefore, this mode is not available in the PC-only configuration.
NavNet
•
The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the NavNet for 15 seconds after the FAX-30 has

The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the PC while the FAX-30 is loading data at start up.
