The interface between APOS Survey and onboard APOS is normally a high speed serial 

line with a galvanic isolated connection.  

APOS Survey is delivered with a MOXA Ethernet to 4 port serial unit for this purpose.  
In order to transfer data between the two systems, a small program called ASI (APOS 

Survey Interface) has to be installed on the existing vessels APOS system. This program 
must be kept running at all times in order to keep the communication between the two 
systems. The ASI program will transfer settings from the onboard vessel system to the 
APOS Survey, but not the other way. In addition it will enable the APOS Survey to 
communicate with the on board transceivers.
