1 - Introduction 1 1 Jeppesen Workboat Navigator Jeppesen Workboat Navigator comes with copyright protected Professional+ Charts. These charts can only be accessed if you have purchased a license and have received a Product Security Key (also called an “eToken”). Workboat Navigator additionally comes with supplemental raster charts, River Distance Markers, River Estimated Time of Arrival calculators, Past Track Enhancements and much more.
Jeppesen Workboat Navigator Installer’s Guide Product Security Key (eToken) 1 - Introduction 1 - Introduction The Product Security Key, also called an “eToken”, is a security-based USB device that works like a Serial Number. The Product Security Key authenticates your computer to the software, allowing you to view the charts you have purchased. Every time you use Workboat Navigator, the Product Security Key must be plugged into an available USB port on each computer running Workboat Navigator.
1 - Introduction Radar and the IR2-BB The Nobeltec® InSight Radar 2 - Black Box (IR2-BB)™ is a specially designed hardware component that converts the analog output from most existing industry-standard radars into a digital stream that can be used by Jeppesen Workboat Navigator. Jeppesen Workboat Navigator provides you with the tools to view radar transmissions received through the IR2-BB in a traditionally configured radar display on-screen or overlaid directly on top of your electronic charts.
