2.7 Obtain MMSI (Maritime
Mobile Service Identity) number
Before commencing installation ensure you have
obtained a MMSI number for your vessel.
A MMSI is a 9 digit number which is sent over a radio
frequency channel in order to identify the originating
vessel/station. If your vessel already has a MMSI number
(used for a VHF DSC radio) then the same MMSI number
must be used to program your product.
Note:
If a MMSI number is not entered, the DSC functionality
of your radio will be disabled.
In the United States of America, the MMSI and Static
Data must be entered only by a Raymarine® dealer
or other appropriately qualified installer of marine
communications equipment on board vessels.
The user is NOT authorized to do this.
In some areas, a radio operator licence is required
before a MMSI number will be issued. You can request
a MMSI number from same agency that issues radio or
Ship Radio licences in your area.
In Europe and other parts of the world outside of the
United States of America, the MMSI and Static data can
be set up by the user.
For further details, refer to the relevant
Telecommunications Regulatory Body for your
area.
Refer to Appendix C MMSI Regulatory bodies and
application submissions
for a list of contacts for obtaining MMSI numbers for
some areas.
Warning: MMSI entry
You can only enter a MMSI number once, if
you enter the number incorrectly or need
to change your MMSI number, the unit will
require re-programming by an authorized
Raymarine dealer.
