receiver is used as reference for the transmitted AIS position, the physical
location (horizontal plan only) of the vessel GPS antenna should be input to
the AIS in metres.
Setup by entering: DimA, DimB, DimC & DimD.
Internal GPS antenna location . The AIS internal GPS receiver is backup
position sensor for the vessel primary GPS receiver. The AIS internal GPS
antenna's physical location (horizontal plane only) also needs to be input to
the AIS in metres.

5.2.4 VHF data link
The VHF page includes ON/OFF status for transmitter and VDL answer mode.
ON/OFF status:
The transmitter setting is recommended set to TX: ON.
Note!
The transmitter may be turned OFF at Master's discretion should an emergency
situation occur. However, the AIS receiver will still be functioning and thus AIS
data from other vessels will still be received.
VDL answer mode: VDL answer mode allows the configuration of the AIS unit with regard
to how it responds to inquiries by binary messages (messages 6 and 8).
An inquiry of this type could be a request for information regarding number of persons
onboard, draught etc. If turned OFF, the AIS will ignore the inquiry.
Note!
The VDL setting "ON" indicates that answer mode to interrogator is enabled
when message 6 or 8 containing interrogation functional identification, is
received.
