8.1 Configuration Menu
The AIS configuration menu consists of three menus, namely:
• AIS Config
• AIS Static
• AIS Voyage
Each of these menus contains the settings and configurations most applicable to the user. Some of the AIS
Static settings are write-protected by administrator password, but the user is always allowed to view the
current settings.
8.1.1 AIS Configuration
AIS Config Setup
The MX51x/AIS display was designed to work with several types of class “A” AIS transponder
systems. The “Transponder type” setup allows the operator to customize the MX51x/AIS display to
work with SAAB (R3), ATLAS, NAUTICAST or MX535B transponder models (other selections may
become available in the future). The default setting for transponder type is MX535B.
The “Static Config Update:” setup is used to determine where the AIS configuration can be
controlled from. Two possible selections are the MKD (MX510 or MX512 CDU) or ECDIS. The MKD is
the default setting.
Follow the procedure below to select the “Transponder Type” and “Static Config Update” settings:
1. Press the CFG key.
2. Scroll to AIS Config menu.
3. Press the EDIT key (cursor will be on Transponder Type). Default selection is MX535B.
4. Press the ENT to activate the CHANGE softkey to toggle to a different transponder model
(otherwise skip this step).
5. If you need to pass control to the ECDIS system, press the down arrow key to highlight the
“Static Config Update” line.
6. Press the ENT key to change to ECDIS (MKD is the default setting).
7. Press the EDIT to exit.
