First Responder Configuration - Raymarine LIGHTHOUSE 4 Operation Instructions Manual

21.1 First responder configuration

Configuring the MFD for First responders enables extra features that are
otherwise not available on the MFD. Several of the First responder features
require a STEDs compatible AIS transceiver to provide Sensitive Tactical
Information Exchange and Display System (STEDS) functionality.
First responder and STEDS features require [First responder] to be selected
as the 'Boating activity' during step 2 of the MFD's initial startup wizard.
Note:
To change boating activity a factory reset must be performed to initiate
the startup wizard.
STEDS specific features also require:
• an AIS5000 to be connected to the same NMEA 2000 / SeaTalkng ®
network as the MFD.
Note: The AIS5000 must be correctly configured with an MMSI number
and where required a radio operators license must be obtained.
• each vessel must be configured with the same STEDS passphrase.
STEDS features use the existing Automatic Identification System (AIS)
network to transmit and receive messages and data but as the messages and
data are encrypted they are not visible or available to standard Class A and
Class B AIS receivers/ transceivers.
STEDs encryption
The encryption is 128bit AES encryption which is compliant with the
requirements of FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard Publication).
The symmetric STEDs passphrase is used to encrypt and decrypt STEDs
messages to ensure that only vessels with MFDs configured with the same
passphrase can send and receive the messages.
e.g.: If another law enforcement geographically close to your network of
vessels also uses the STEDs encrypted MFD functionality, unless they have
a matching key there cannot be any interaction between the 2 agencies,
and instead each agency will see the other's vessels as a normal AIS target
(providing they aren't in AIS restricted mode).
Note:
On an MFD network only the datamaster MFD needs to be configured.
