AIS200N2NET Quick Start Guide
NOTE - Only NMEA messages with a valid checksum are passed through the AIS200N2NET and re-transmitted
with the AIS data. Some older NMEA0183 equipment may not include checksums which were added in NMEA
0183 Version 2.0.
The table showing what each of the 12 wires of the PWR/DATA cable does, is printed on the AIS200N2NET
Receiver and repeated below for your convenience;

Installation Step 5
– N2Net (NMEA2000)
The AIS200N2NET
also has an N2Net connection which is Digital Yacht’s NMEA2000 compliant interface. To
connect to other NMEA2000 products, simply find or add a spare NMEA2000 “T” piece on the existing
NMEA2000 network and connect the
receiver’s N2Net connector to the “T” piece.
The N2Net cable is just over 1m long and is terminated in an NMEA2000 Micro Male Connector.
The AIS200N2NET does not take any power from the NMEA2000 network and only outputs AIS data on to the
network, it does not input NMEA2000 data or provide any NMEA2000 to NMEA0183 conversion.
The list of AIS PGNs that the AIS200N2Net outputs is listed below;

Installation Step 6
– USB Connection to a PC
To install the drivers for the AIS200N2Net, insert the supplied CD-Rom
and locate the “proAIS2 for AIT2000”
folder on the CD. Run the setup.exe program, which installs the proAIS2 software and the drivers. Once the
installation is completed, you can plug in the USB lead of the AIS200N2Net in to an available USB port on your
PC and the Windows “Found New Hardware Wizard” will be triggered and the correct drivers loaded. Make a note
of the COM port number that Windows allocates to the AIS200N2Net, which can be found in the Windows Device
Manager program under the “Ports (COM&LPT)” section or by running the proAIS2 software.
