Off position alert
This section allows configuration of the text message to be transmitted when the
transceiver detects that it is off position. The settings for off position detection are made on
the ‘Real AtoN’ tab. The configuration of an alternative off position message #21 reporting
schedule is independent of the configuration of this text alert.
The available off position alert actions are:
• Disabled - no text message is transmitted when the transceiver determines that it
is off position
• Transmit message #14. A text message is broadcast when the transceiver detects
that is off position. The text content of the message must be defined in the
‘Message text’ box.
• Transmit message #12. An addressed text message is transmitted on detection of
an off position condition. The destination for the addressed message is configured
on the ‘Real AtoN’ tab.
In addition to configuration of the off position alert a schedule for the associated message
must be configured in the ‘Message schedule’ tab.
•
Message #14 index 2 must be configured if the message #14 action is selected
• Message #12 index 3 must be configured if the message #12 action is selected
SART Relay Mode
This control enables or disables the repeating of SART (Search and Rescue Transponder)
messages detected by the AIS AtoN. This functionality is only relevant to Type 3 devices as
receivers are required to detect the messages.
