Automatic Identification System
ProTec AIS Operation
2.1. Operation
The L--3 ProTec has been designed to require minimal user interaction during nor-
mal operation. The interface consists of an integral alphanumeric display with alpha-
numeric keypad providing for data entry, retrieval and display.
2.1.1. Minimum Keyboard Display
The L--3 ProTec includes and integral MKD which is fully IMO compliant. It is recom-
ended that the MKD should not act as the primary display due to limitations in
data presentation options. It should be used for configuration of the hardware and
entry of vessel and voyage specific data, which is required infrequently. It may also
serve as a backup display if the external display were to malfunction. L--3 strongly
recommends that the AIS Target Display Software (TDS) be used as the primary AIS
display system and this software is available from the hardware supplier. TDS is a
basic yet powerful graphic display software compatible with Windowst which pro-
vides numerous display options for the AIS data. Contact L--3 Communications for
further information and acquisition. The front face of the L--3 ProTec contains the fol-
lowing controls.
