1 INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the web-based remote control graphical user interfaces (GUI)

for an R60 Station unit.

The R60 Station is equipped with two different Ethernet based service interfaces.

- Configuration and Monitoring Web Interface (Provides VDES monitoring and

configuration functionality see section 3.3)

- R60 Supervisor Web Interface (Provides R60 supervision and configuration

functionality see section 3.4)

The usage of this interface is intended for personnel with knowledge about the VDES

system (including AIS) and how a AIS/VDES station handles the VHF data link (VDL).

Note that the parameters set in a AtoN/Base station must be coordinated with other

nearby AtoN/Base stations. Uncoordinated base stations and improper parameters

may cause problems on the VDL link. Base station settings might also be subject to

national legislation or international treaties.

General information about VDES base stations can be found in references Ref [2] - Ref

[8].

Besides the web page GUI there is also a limited graphical user interface available on

the front of the R60, for convenient configuration of IP communication ports etc.

For detailed information about physical capabilities of the R60 unit, the reader of this

manual should also have access to the SAAB R60 VDES Base Station Installation

Manual (Ref [1]).

The Saab Group homepage www.saab.com provides more information about Saab, the

coastal surveillance system MARITIMECONTROL/CoastWatch as well as other

AIS/VDES-related products from Saab.
