Message schedule configuration
The layout of the message schedule tab is illustrated below:
Default messages
An AIS AtoN position report is made using AIS message #21. This message occupies two
AIS slots. The default configuration shown in proAtoN includes two message #21 schedule
configurations. The first configuration, index 1, is the primary position reporting schedule for
the transceiver. The second, index 2, is the alternate position reporting schedule selected
when the ‘off position’ monitor is enabled and the AtoN is determined to be off position (see
section 7.3.1). If the alternate ‘off position’ schedule is not required it can be deactivated by
selecting the associated row in the message schedule table and clicking the ‘Deactivate’
button. When deactivated the alternate schedule will be greyed out.
