– Program your information in the AIS –

Follow the instructions below how to program your AIS transponder:

1. Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet!!

2. Connect the AIS unit directly to your computer with the enclosed USB cable. 

NOTE!

If you connect your AIS to the USB port on your computer WITHOUT power supplying the AIS with 10-32VDC, you will be able to 
program your AIS 

BUT

, the AIS unit not be able to send any AIS data (it must have at least 11.2VDC).

An option to above, is to power supply the AIS unit with 10-32VDC 

and

the USB port in the computer – at the same time. 

This will make the AIS be able to send its information.

3. When the USB connection is made to the computer the computer will go out onthe internet and try to find the drives for the AIS. 

Wait until your computer has installed the correct drives for the AIS.

4. Start the software ”proAIS2”.

5. The picture to the right will pop up.

6. If your AIS is not shown, click on the drop down list and select

your AIS.

7. Click on ”Connect”.

8. Now, you shall be connected at 38.400 baud.

When the connection between the AIS and the computer is done

you shall have the below text at the bottom left hand side:

Where ”x” is the COM port to which the AIS is connected.
