Quick Start Guide for AISNETSP VR 1.00
•
You do not need to power up the AISNet for the USB interface to operate and AIS reception can be achieved with
the AISNet just taking its power from the USB cable. However, the network interfacing will not operate without the
main power supply being connected and turned on.
Installation Step 5
•
Now that we have all of the connections made, we can apply power to the AISNet. Turn ON or plug in the AC Mains
Adaptor and the green POWER LED on the front of the AISNet should illuminate.
•
Assuming that the AIS/VHF antenna is connected and there are AIS targets within the reception range of the
AISNet (typically 20NM or more), the yellow RECEIVE LED on the front of the AISNet should flash each time an
AIS target is received.
•
If the network interface is powered up and working then the green NMEA LED will flash and once a TCP
connection is established the green TCP/IP LED will illuminate.
•
By studying the LEDs, the status of the AISNet can be determined and if everything appears to be working then
installation is complete and you should proceed to section 4. Network Configuration.
