Installation Step 3
•
The supplied mains adaptor has suitable plug fittings for Europe, USA and the United Kingdom. Select and fit the
plug required for your location. If the AC Mains socket has a switch, ensure the switch is OFF and then plug the
adaptor in to the AC Mains socket. If the AC mains socket does not have a switch do not plug in the adaptor yet.
•
Plug in the 12v DC Jack plug (2.1mm centre pin positive) into the power socket on the AISNet.
•
Plug one end of the RJ45 Cat 5 network cable (not supplied) in to the AISNet and the other end in to a spare
network socket (LAN) on your ethernet network. On small home/office wireless networks, you will probably have to
plug straight in to one of the LAN connectors on the back of the wireless router.

The VHF can be repowered
Installation Step 4
•
In order to display AIS targets locally on a PC or Mac, it is necessary to use the AISNet USB cable. Windows PCs
need to be turned on and connected to the internet before plugging the USB cable in, so that Windows can
automatically go online and download the USB drivers.
•
Then it is necessary to find out what device name the AISNet has been given by Windows (
COM3
,
COM4
, etc.) or
by the Mac (
/dev/cu.usbmodem1234
or similar) and select this on your navigation program remembering that the
data speed is 38400 baud for AIS and not 4800 baud that is the normal NMEA0183 speed.
