Programming
NOTE: To program your NAUTICAST B2 you will need to connect the AIS to a personal
computer or Laptop with Link2AIS software installed. There is no external power source
needed when using a USB connection. If you use RS232, 1st-Relief GmbH recommends you
connect the AIS to your boat’s power and connect it to a laptop in order to easily program
your AIS before physically mounting the transceiver.
Connect the NAUTICAST B2 to your laptop using USB.
