AIS100USB Quick Start Guide

QUICK START AIS100USB V1.04

Installation Step 5

• The easiest was to install the drivers on Windows 7/8/10 is to make sure the PC is connected to the

internet and to plug the AIS100USB in. The “Found New Hardware Wizard” will be triggered and

Windows will search online for the latest driver.

• If you do not have an internet connection on the boat, then you can download the Windows or the

Mac drivers from our “Online CD”, copy them to a USB memory stick and then take them down to the

boat. You can find the drivers in the “AIS100+iAIS+uAIS+AISNet USB Driver” folder on our “Online

CD” at

https://support.digitalyacht.net/

• Windows will create a “virtual” COM port for the AIS100USB and you will need to go to the Windows

Device Manager program and look in the “LPT&COM Ports” section to find out what COM port

number has been allocated to the AIS100USB. Make a note of this number as you will have to enter

this COM port number in the PC Navigation software, so that it knows which port the AIS is

connected to – consult the instruction manual supplied with your PC Software to understand how this

is configured.

• Apply power to the AIS100USB Receiver and verify that after a couple of seconds the Green “Status”

LED lights. This indicates that the unit is powered up correctly and the drivers are installed and

working correctly.

• The “Status” LED will flicker every time that valid data from an AIS target is received. Depending

upon the number of vessels, fitted with AIS transponders, sailing within VHF range of your vessel,

the frequency of flickering maybe constant or as little as once every 30 seconds.

• Installation is now completed

The AIS100USB is also compatible with Mac OS X and all LINUX Kernels since V2.4.20.
