Connection to a PC
The AIS receiver is supplied with a USB connector for connection to
a PC. If your PC requires USB drivers to operate with the AIS
receiver these can be found on the CD provided with the product.
When inserting the USB connector into a PC for the first time, you
are likely to be prompted to select the drivers for the USB device.
Insert the CD provided with the product into the PC and select
‘Search for drivers on this computer’. Your PC should find the
drivers located on the CD and install them on the PC.
Please note: If you connect the USB connector to an alternative
port on your PC this procedure may be repeated.
The AIS receiver will appear as an additional COM port on your PC.
This COM port should be selected as the AIS data source in
charting applications. The port operates at 38400 baud.
