5.2.1.1 AIS Static Setup
The AIS Static Setup contains both the ship’s static data and AIS transponder configuration. This
setup must be done after installation or at any time changes are made to the ship’s AIS
transponder unit.
It is important to note that critical AIS static setup items (such as MMSI, IMO, Ship name & Call
Sign) are password protected. Setup items that require administrator password are indicated in
the Display Field Descriptions below. If an invalid or missing password is used, an alarm is
displayed and the entry will be rejected. Press the ‘Cancel alarm’ softkey to continue.
Follow the procedure below to enter the required AIS static information:
1. Press CFG key.
2. Highlight the AIS Static under the ‘Item’ column.
3. Press the EDIT key to start editing the AIS Static setup.
