3. CONFIGURATION
The CB2 needs to be correctly programmed with the following vessel data before use:
•
Vessel Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI) number
•
Vessel name
•
Vessel call sign
•
Vessel dimensions and AIS GPS antenna location
•
Vessel type
An MMSI number comprises 9 digits, and all 9 digits of a valid number must be entered to
be accepted during setup. All other fields (i.e. vessel type, name etc.) are optional.
If your vessel already has an MMSI number (used for a VHF DSC radio) then the same
MMSI number must be used to program the transceiver.
If a valid MMSI number is not entered, the CB2 will enter Silent Mode and will not transmit
although it will still operate as a receiver.
!
Important: In the United States of America, the MMSI and Static
Data must be entered only by a qualified dealer or other appropri
-
ately qualified installer of marine communications equipment on
board vessels. The user is NOT authorized to do this. In Europe and
other parts of the world outside of the United States of America,
the MMSI and Static Data can be set up by the user.
