4.5 Configuration using proAIS2
For configuration purposes only, it is possible to power the AIS transceiver via its USB
connection. This is useful if you wish to configure your AIS transceiver away from the vessel
power supply. The AIS transceiver will not transmit any data whilst powered by USB.
You will require the following information in order to configure your AIS transceiver:
• MMSI
•Vessel name
• Vessel type
• Call sign
• Vessel dimensions and position of your GPS antenna installation
For further assistance in configuring your AIS transceiver please refer to the Help menu within
proAIS2.
Please ensure that you enter all vessel data accurately. Failure to do so could
result in other vessels failing to identify your vessel correctly. The vessel MMSI
can only be programmed once using proAIS2, please take care to programme
your MMSI correctly. If you need to change the MMSI for any reason, please
contact your dealer who will arrange to have the MMSI reset.
