Install Guide

CONFIGURATION
• Before the XB can transmit your position you must configure your vessel
details and enter a valid MMSI number. Your MMSI may have been entered
already by your dealer. You must have an assigned MMSI for your vessel.
If you do not have an assigned MMSI, contact the relevant authority in
your country.
• You can configure your XB using the WatchMate App* or the vmAIS PC
software. These are available for download from www.vespermarine.com/xb.
• With vmAIS you can connect to the XB using either the USB virtual COM port
or over WiFi* by entering the IP address (192.168.15.1 default).
Click the connect button. Allow 30 seconds for the XB to initialize after power
on before attempting to connect. Enter your vessel details using this screen:
• Once you save the MMSI number you cannot change it. If you need to
change the MMSI, please contact an authorized dealer or Vesper Marine.
• When all the information is correct, click on the Save Vessel Data button.
• You can also change your WiFi* settings, view your GPS signal strength,
Transponder status and VSWR level using vmAIS.

YOU’RE FINISHED!

If the Status LED is solid green, the XB is transmitting your position and is
successfully installed! Your position will be transmitted every 3 minutes when
your speed is under 2 knots or every 30 seconds otherwise. Your vessel
information (e.g. name, callsign, etc) is transmitted every 6 minutes. If the
Status LED is not solid green yet, see the troubleshooting section for the
probable cause.
