5.3 Switch function

When connected to the AIS transceiver following the instructions in section 3.2 an external switch

provides the ability to set the AIS transceiver into ‘silent mode’. In silent mode the transmission

of your own vessel data ceases, whilst the reception of other vessel’s AIS data continues. You

should use silent mode if you do not wish your vessel data to be received by other AIS devices.

When silent mode is active the blue indicator will be illuminated.

When silent mode is active other vessels will not be able to receive your vessel

information on their AIS devices. Your navigational safety may be compromised

as a result.

5.4 Using proAIS2 with your AIS transceiver

The proAIS2 tool has a range of features to help monitor the performance of your AIS

transceiver. To use the full range of features your AIS transceiver must be installed as described

in section 3 and connected to a PC running the proAIS2 application. Follow the instructions

provided in the help menu within proAIS2.
