4.2 AIS Status
Once the AIT5000 is configured, it is sometimes useful to check on how the transponder is performing or to remotely
switch the transponder in to “Silent Mode”. The new web interface gives real-time display of the LED Status of the unit,
useful if it is hidden away behind a panel, shows the status of the key factors that affect the transponder i.e. Supply
Voltage, GPS fix and VSWR value.
A series of simple Tick and Cross icons give an immediate indication of correct operation and you also have the RX and
TX count to show how many targets have been received and how many successful transmissions the AIT5000 has made.
Please note that when you first display this web page, you will need to wait until the AIT5000 makes a transmission
before it can check/tick the “AIS Antenna” and “AIS has transmitted a position report” status.
To switch the AIT5000
in to “Silent Mode”, click the “Silent” button and the blue Silent LED should illuminate.
