The AIS transceiver is now operational and should remain powered unless
authorised by the local maritime authority. The installation record at the rear of
this manual should be completed and left on board the vessel.
4.10 Communication test
It is possible to conduct an AIS communication test with another AIS equipped
vessel. This test sends an AIS message to another vessel and checks for a
response. The AIS transceiver will display a list of vessels from which one can
be selected for a communication test.
This feature can be selected from the ‘Home’ > ‘System settings’ > ‘Advanced’
> ‘Installation & AIS SART test’ menu.
From this screen you can also switch on or off the display of test messages
from AIS Search and Rescue Transceivers. If ‘
Display AIS SART Test
Messages’ is set to On, messages from AIS SARTs in Test mode will be
displayed.
