Furuno FAX-30 manual Operational Characteristics, Vii, General, NavNet

Operational Characteristics

General

•The equipment receives one facsimile image or naxtex message at a time. Thus, a navtex message cannot be received when a facsimile image is being received and vice versa, regardless of navtex message category.

•Three receiving modes are available, facsimile, navtex, and facsimile(timer) & navtex. When using the facsimile(timer) and navtex, the order of priority is

Facsimile(timer) (highest priority) → Navtex (lowest priority)

•The FAX-30 does not have an internal clock, so time is input from the NavNet display or the PC. (For PC-only configuration, time data is read when the browser accesses the FAX-30. Therefore, turn on the FAX-30 before accessing it from the PC to allow for input of time data, which is necessary for facsimile timer recording.) To receive time data, do the following:

NavNet: Output the date and time data sentence ZDA through the NavNet network.

PC: Set the PC’s clock to the correct time.

•If both a NavNet series unit and a PC are used, it is recommended to operate the FAX-30 from the PC because of the two different communication protocols. (Use the NavNet series unit to feed navigation data to the PC.)

•Navigation data must be fed through the network to use the automatic navtex mode. Therefore, this mode is not available in the PC-only configuration.

NavNet

•The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the NavNet for 15 seconds after the FAX-30 has been turned on.

•NavNet requirements:

PC

•The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the PC while the FAX-30 is loading data at start up. Wait until the POWER LED flashing interval changes from 0.4 to two seconds before accessing the FAX-30.
