22.10 First responder AIS modes
With compatible STEDS AIS hardware connected the mode of the AIS
hardware can be set from the MFD.
The AIS modes can be viewed and changed from the Status area in the
Homescreen. Select the Status area and then select AIS to display and select
available modes.
The AIS mode of the connected STEDs compatible AIS hardware will
automatically be updated to match the selected mode.
The following AIS modes are available:
280
• [Normal] — In this mode your AIS hardware will receive and transmit AIS
messages and encrypted AIS messages.
• [Receive only] — In this mode your AIS hardware receives AIS messages
and encrypted AIS messages, but transmits nothing (maintaining radio
silence).
• [Restricted] — In this mode your AIS hardware will receive AIS messages
and encrypted AIS messages, but only transmits encrypted AIS messages
(no AIS messages are transmitted). This means vessels with 'standard' AIS
receivers / transceivers will not be able to detect Blue Force vessels.
The AIS mode can also be changed from the [AIS Settings] menu: [Menu >
Targets > AIS Settings > AIS mode] and from the Homescreen settings menu:
[Homescreen > Settings > Responder]. [AIS mode]
Note:
[AIS mode] replaces the [Silent mode] option available on non-STEDS First
responder configurations.
