Using a transponder or routing GPS data through the AIS
receiver
Use this configuration if you are connecting a transponder or your AIS receiver is
capable of accepting GPS data and merging it into its output stream. This is the
default configuration and no setup options need to be changed.
If you connect a transponder to port 1 instead of port 2, you must use setup to
change the device output type for port 1 to “Transponder”.
