Three steps to connect AIS transponder
Step 1:
Connect your Class B AIS transponder to your PC or Mac using a USB cable. In most
cases the USB driver will be installed automatically by Windows system. When USB
driver installation is not done automatically, it can be found on the attached CD and
installed manually. Follow the on-screen instructions and assign the correct file path of
the USB driver to complete the installation. You can also install the USB driver via the
Device Manager in the Control Panel.
Step 2:
Select the “Com Port” corresponding to your AIS transponder from the drop down
menu at the top left of the application window, the Com Port will normally be listed as
“AIS Virtual Com”.
Step 3:
Click the ‘Connect’ button. In a short moment, the button will be displayed as
“Disconnect” when the connection is established.
