3.3 Specification
On this tab, the dimensions of the vessel and the placement of sensors on the vessel are specified.
Specifying the position of the sensors is important in order to get the highest possible accuracy in
position (GPS antenna) and other data as possible.
•
In the “Ship Size” area, enter the length, beam, draught and height of the vessel in meters.
For length and beam, the largest extent of vessel length and beam should be used.
•
For draught and height you enter the largest possible height and draught taking load
conditions into consideration.
•
When a second TECDIS unit is present in the installation (for example, backup unit). The
IP address of the second TECDIS unit should be entered in the
”Data export IP” field.
This will activate automatic transfer of active routes to the second TECDIS, and it will be
possible to transfer data (objects, tracks, routes) to the second unit. (See chapter 3.8 Route
Synchronization for details).
NOTE: If the TECDIS unit is not to be connected to a second TECDIS unit, this value
should be set to “0.0.0.0”. For any other value in this field, TECDIS will generate an
alarm if unable to connect to the other TECDIS unit.
