Appendix A –Chart Installation
This Appendix covers the installation of SevenCs charts, C-Map charts and
access to the NAVTOR Navsync program from where security certificates
and NAVTOR ENC charts can be updated.
Charts can be installed onto a VMFT node in one of three ways, depending
on the chart database being installed. Which Charts can be installed will
also depend on the configuration of your system.
1. SevenCs charts (ARCS or ENC) are imported via the ChartHandler
utility, see Installing Charts using ChartHandler
2. NAVTOR charts are loaded directly from CD/DVD, see NAVTOR
ENC Charts Service.
3. From the Sperry Chart Installer, if C-Map charts are to be installed.
See Installing C-MAP Charts.
CAUTION – Anti-Virus Protection
Before connecting an external device such as a USB memory
stick, or a CD/DVD drive to the Panel PC or Trackball it is
important that the external device/media should first be
scanned with a recognised virus and malware scanning
program that includes up-to-date virus definitions. Also, the
external device/media should be reserved for use with the
ECDIS-E Panel PCs, with use on other computers kept to an
absolute minimum.
Care should be taken to ensure that any other PCs (e.g.
laptops) that have been previously connected to other
networks are subject to the same checks as external media
prior to being connected to the network on which Panel PCs
are connected.
In order to load charts a VM Security Block (sometimes referred to a
dongle) must be connected to one of the available USB sockets at the rear
of the PC. The VM dongle identifies the product type for the node, (e.g.
ECDIS-E).
