AIS200N2NET Quick Start Guide
The proAIS2 software is primarily designed for configuring the Digital Yacht AIT2000 Class B Transponder but it
can be used with the AIS200N2Net to check the if AIS Targets are being received. When you run the proAIS2
software you will see the AIS200N2Net listed as “AIS Virtual COM Port X” where X is the COM port number
allocated by Windows. This is the COM port that you will need to set in your Navigation software to read data
from the AIS200N2Net.
Click t
he “Connect” button and the proAIS2 program will start to receive data from the AIS200N2Net. Click on the
“Other Vessels” tab to display a list of the AIS targets being received. If you want a more graphical display of AIS
targets, install and run our free SmarterTrack Lite software also included on the CD-Rom.
If you are connected to the internet when you connect the USB lead of the AIS200Net to your PC for the first
time, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (not Windows XP) will automatically find the correct driver and download it
from the Microsoft website. This is useful if you try to install the AIS200N2Net and you do not have the supplied
CD-Rom with you. When using this automatic method of installing the drivers from the internet, the proAIS2
software is not installed. As it is only used for testing or diagnosing the installation this is not normally a problem.
Installation Step 7
– Checking Operation
As soon as 12v or 24v Power is connected to the AIS200N2NET Receiver, the unit will power up and the green
“POWER” LED on the front of the unit will light.
