Description
 The R60 knows the UTC time
 No external network client capable of receiving stored data (e.g.
the Saab MARITIMECONTROL/CoastWatch network) is
connected to the R60
Local storage is intended to be used as a temporary backup solution when
a site network connection goes down, thereby eliminating the risk of
missing events during the downtime. When a network client capable of
receiving stored data comes back online the stored data is sent to it and
new data is no longer stored.
Radio
Rx Channel
VHF radio channels used for the base station site. Normally the default
parameters shall be used, but in areas where channel management is
active other channels may be appropriate. Default parameters are 2087
(=AIS1/161.975MHz) for AIS A and 2088 (=AIS2/162.025MHz) for AIS B.
ASM channels are locked to channels 2027 (=ASM1/161.950MHz) and
2028 (=ASM2/162.000MHz) and cannot be changed.
Tx Channel
VHF radio channels used for transmissions. Normally, these should be the
same as for the Rx channels.
ASM channels are locked to channels 2027 (=ASM1/161.950MHz) and
2028 (=ASM2/162.000MHz) and cannot be changed.
Enable Tx
Enables/Disables transmissions on each channel. If these boxes are not
checked no AIS or ASM transmissions will be made by the base station.
Power Level
Specifies if the base station shall use low or high VHF output power. For
standard R60 base stations the settings correspond to:
High power: 12.5 W
Low power: 1 W
