Product Security Key (eToken)
The Product Security Key, also called an “eToken”, is a security-based USB device
that works like a Serial Number. The Product Security Key authenticates your
computer to the software, allowing you to view the charts you have purchased.
Every time you use Workboat Navigator, the Product Security Key must be plugged
into an available USB port on each computer running Workboat Navigator.
Before you install the software, make sure the Product Security Key is not plugged
into a USB port. During software installation, you will be prompted by the Setup
Wizard to plug your Product Security Key into an available USB port.
Hardware Overview
The following hardware devices output information that Jeppesen Workboat
Navigator can recognize and integrate into on-screen display. All hardware products
must be powered on and connected to your computer in order for Workboat
Navigator to recognize them.
GPS (required)
A GPS receiver uses information from GPS satellite signals to calculate your
position along with speed and direction. This information is transmitted to the
computer, where Jeppesen Workboat Navigator places a graphic display of your
boat at the transmitted location on the chart.
WARNING
: Seasoned navigators know not to rely on a single method of
navigation when determining their position. Always use two or more methods
to guard against errors that put your boat in a dangerous situation.
AIS/Target Tracking
Many Automatic Identification System (AIS) Transceivers are equipped to transmit
and receive all AIS NMEA sentences. Jeppesen Workboat Navigator intelligently
interprets and displays AIS target data in an easy-to-understand on-screen format.
Heading Sensor
A Heading Sensor produces highly accurate, stable readouts of your ship’s heading.
The Heading Sensor in conjunction with Jeppesen Workboat Navigator will provide
you with constant information about your ship’s attitude and rate of turn, as well as
your heading vs. Course Over Ground (COG).
Depth Sensor
Depth Sensors are utilized to sense how “deep” a body of water is from top to
bottom. Depth sensors may also be called pressure sensors. Depth sensors use
electronic and mechanical means to measure depth.
Sounder
A depth sounder provides target and bottom detail, as well as advanced features
such as dual frequencies, temperature display, range, gain, and shift settings.
Autopilot
Interfacing an autopilot with Jeppesen Workboat Navigator provides you with
easier route planning and more precise direction-based navigation options and
adjustments.
Wind Sensor/Anemometer
A sensor that monitors wind speed or wind speed and direction, and converts that
data into a digital output signal.
