the AIS transceiver via USB using a USB cable (Not supplied).

nise the transceiver COM port. Once installation is complete, a start menu
folder and shortcut can be created for future use.
4.5 Configuration using proAIS2
For configuration purposes only, it is possible to power the AIS transceiver via
its USB connection. This is useful if you wish to configure your AIS
transceiver away from the vessel power supply. The AIS transceiver will not
transmit or receive any data whilst powered by USB only.
US Customers only: It is a violation of the rules of the Federal
Communications Commission for the end user to program the vessel
data. The vessel data must only be programmed by a competent
installer. If your AIS transceiver has not been pre-configured for you
please refer to your dealer or [e-mail] for advice on
how to have the AIS transceiver configured by a competent installer.
