4 Configuring your AIS transceiver
Your AIS transceiver will only be able to transmit once it has been
programmed with appropriate vessel data. The minimum required data is
MMSI number, vessel name, and vessel type.
4.1 Switching on your AIS transceiver for the first time
When power is applied to the transceiver for the first time all the status
indicators will flash briefly, leaving only the amber and red indicators
illuminated.
Once the transceiver is successfully configured only the green indicator will
be illuminated once power is applied.
4.2 Configuring your AIS transceiver
Depending on the variant of transceiver there are three ways in which your
AIS transceiver can be configured:
1. Configuration in advance by your dealer or installer.
If your AIS transceiver has been configured for you by your dealer or installer
you can proceed to section
5. This is required for customers who have a
vessel registered in the US.
2. Configuration using proAIS2
proAIS2 can be used to program your transceiver. This applies to all variants.
proAIS2 is available to download from www.em-trak.com/installation
If your vessel is registered in the US you are not permitted to program the
transceiver yourself.
3. Configuration using CONNECT-AIS.
WiFi and Bluetooth enabled variants of the transceiver can be configured
using the CONNECT-AIS app.
CONNECT-AIS is available for download from the App Store and Google
Play.
