B&G Zeus2 12 - Manual (Page 82)

Vessel settings
Your vessel’s MMSI number
You need to have your own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number entered in the
Zeus
2 system to be able to receive addressed messages from AIS and DSC vessels.
It is also important to have the MMSI number entered to avoid seeing your own vessel as an
AIS target on the chart.
Ú Note: The Vessel message option in the alarm settings must be toggled on if any MMSI
message shall be displayed.
Icon filters
All targets are by default shown on the panel
if an AIS device is connected to the Zeus
2
system.
You can select not to show any targets, or to
filter the icons based on security settings,
distance and vessel speed.
Extension lines
The length of the extension lines for your
vessel and for other vessels can be set by the
user.
• A: Heading
• B: Course Over Groung (COG)
The length of the extension lines is either set
as a fixed distance, or to indicate the
distance the vessel will move in the selected
time period. If no options are ticked on for
This vessel then no extension lines will be
shown for your vessel.
For own vessel heading information is read from active heading sensor, and COG information
is as received from the active GPS.
For other vessels COG data is included in the message received from the AIS system.
