Message Rx
The Messages Rx tab folder displays messages
that have been generated from an external
device. The messages may for example have
been sent from another ship in the area.
AIS messages are used to convey to
the operator information that requires
attention. When a message has been
received the Message icon is displayed in
orange, an audible indicator is given and the
message is shown in the
Messages Rx tab.
Left click to view information on the message.
The MMSI number of the vessel that sent the
message, the time the message was received
and the message detail are displayed in the
Message INFO window. When all messages
have been selected the message icon returns
to the standard system colour.
The function buttons at the bottom of the Message Rx tab folder work in the
same way as described for Message Tx.
