4 Configuring your AIS transceiver
Until correctly configured your AIS class B transceiver will only receive AIS messages and will not transmit AIS messages.
By default, the anti-tamper mode of operation is disabled. Section 6 details how this can be configured.
4.1 Switching on your AIS transceiver for the first time
A few seconds after power is applied to the AIS transceiver, the indicators on unit will illuminate in a pattern dependent on the
configuration state of the unit. Figure 14 shows the functions of the four indicators.
Figure 14 Indicator functions
If the AIS transceiver has been pre-configured the amber indicator will illuminate until a transmission has been sent by the unit. This
may take several minutes as the transceiver must acquire a GPS position fix prior to transmitting its first message.
If the transceiver has not been pre-configured the amber and red indicators will be illuminated until the configuration process has been
completed.
4.2 Configuring your AIS transceiver
There are two potential 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.
2. Configuration using proAIS2
