5 Setting-to-Work/Configuration

5.1Setting-to-Work

The AIS Transponder Unit and antennas must be installed as described in Section 3.2.2, Page 6 (Step-by-Step Installation Procedure). For information about the dimensions see Section 4.2 (Technical Information).

The cabling and connection must be performed corresponding to the Cabling Documents in Section 8. Depending on the system in which the AIS have to be integrated, the configuration has to be performed as described in section 5.3.1.

5.2Software Version

For AIS systems with an MX420/MKD:

It must be verified that the MX420/MKD has the software version V2.0(841) or later. The software versions can be determined by means of the AUX7 screen of the MX420.

5.3Configuration

No adjustments have to be performed on the antennas. These components are ready for use. The AIS Transponder Unit is configured using the MX420/MKD.

For information in detail, see the corresponding Technical Manuals and the Online Help of these systems. The following descriptions are an aid for the configuration of the AIS Transponder.

NOTE:

The system from which the AIS Transponder Unit has been configured and the AIS itself must be restarted after any change in the configuration. Otherwise these modifications may have no effect.

The MX535 will maintain configuration data inside the transponder during power fails. In the event that the MX535 needs to be replaced, the configuration data from the MX420 must manually be resent to the MX535.

Master/Slave

After the power on from both units the MX420 (CDU) transmits the configuration data to the MX535 (Transponder). This is done with the SSD (ship static data) and the VSD (voyage ship data) sentences. The MX535 has an internal memory to store the data. The configuration data are valid until a new SSD or VSD is received. If the connection between the both units is lost, the MX535 operates with these stored data.

To send new data it is necessary to enter a password in the configuration menu from the MX420 (CDU). The MX420 transmits the SSD and VSD after every restart.

5.3.1Configuration with MX420/MKD

It is necessary to configure the MKD to work with the MX535 (NAUTICAST) Transponder. For more information refer to the Operation Manual of the MX420/MKD.
