Once the program has finished, insert the cable of the ST-NMEA Converter in to a spare USB port and the Windows
“Found New Hardware” wizard should briefly appear while the PC completes the installation.
You may need to enter the Windows Device Manager to find out what COM Port the Converter has been allocated by
Windows. In the Device Manager, the ST-NMEA Converter should appear in the
Ports COM & LPT
section as a “USB
Serial Port (COMx)” where x = the COM Port number allocated by Windows to the Converter. This is the COM port
number that you will need to enter in your Navigation Software to tell it where to get the SeaTalk data from.
For more information on the Device Manager, visit our blog at
and search for Device Manager. You
should then be able to see an article called “Managing the Device Manager” that explains this process.
Windows Vista/7/8/10
The easiest way to install the drivers on these operating systems, is to plug the ST-NMEA Converter in to your PC when
you have a good internet connection. Windows will see the new hardware and automatically search online for the latest
drivers, download them and then install them. The whole process takes about 2-3 minutes and is completely automatic.
If you are on the boat and do not have an internet connection, then insert the
Digital Yacht Software and Drivers CD
in
to your PC and browse to the folder called “USB Drivers for AIS units” which contains the drivers required for the ST-
NMEA Converter. Right click
on the “USB Driver Setup” program and select the option “Run as administrator”. The
program should now open a DOS Command type window and execute a series of commands
– normally takes 10-15secs
to complete.
Once the program has finished, insert the cable of the ST-NMEA Converter in to a spare USB port on the PC and the
Windows “Found New Hardware” wizard should briefly appear while the PC completes the installation.

Mac Os X
If you are using the ST-NMEA Converter with a Mac, you will need to install the drivers before connecting the Converter
to a spare USB port on the Mac.
On the
Digital Yacht Software and Drivers CD
, there is a folder called “USB Drivers for AIS units” which contains a sub-
folder called “Mac OSX” in here is one DMG file that you need to double click on to run. Follow the instructions that are
displayed and at the end of the installation the USB drivers for the Converter should be installed.
For more information on installing the USB drivers on a Mac please download our
the whole procedure in more details.
LINUX
The good news for LINUX users is that the USB drivers for the ST-NMEA Converter are already included in the Kernel
and it is simply a case of plugging the Converter in to a spare USB port on the PC.
However, recently we have received reports of changes to the way Ubuntu handles COM ports which has caused some
problems for our customers. Please visit our blog at
and search for “Ubuntu”. You should see an
article that explains this issue and how to fix it.
