You will find the installed program shortcuts in the Start Menu / All Programs/ ACR Electronics directory (unless you chose a different location during the install process).

A shortcut named “Link2AIS” will be placed on your desktop.

Use either shortcut to launch the program.

7.Connecting to a personal computer (PC)

NOTE: To program your Nauticast™-B AIS you will need to connect the AIS to a personal computer and supply the Nauticast™-B AIS with 12V of power.

ACR recommends that you connect the AIS to your boat‟s power and connect it to a laptop in order to easily program your AIS before physically mounting the transceiver.

Connect the RS232 (9-Pin Connector) to your laptop. This connects between the supplied data lead and the PC. See illustration below. If the PC being used for programming does not have a 9-pin serial port then a commercially available USB to serial adaptor (RS 232) may be required.

Connect the AIS to your boat‟s interior power supply (12 V). The red wire is the positive lead and the black wire is the negative lead.
