Automatic Identification System
AIS 10 - AIS Password
Operator's Manual
For security purposes, two authorization levels are provided in the MX420 and AIS
transponder, namely:
•
User (default password "user")
•
Administrator (see password card for default password)
The user level can control most ofthe "AIS Static" setups, except for the: MMSI, Ship
Name, Call Sign, and IMO. These settings are critical to the proper operation of the
AIS system and will require an administrator password when editing.
The AIS password is printed on a tear-offpage located at the end ofthis manual. Use
the default administrator password after installation to enter the ship's name, IMO #,
MMSI #, call sign, default power and transmitter A & B modes. Please detach this
page and store it in a safe place for security. You will need the administrator password
again when changing any of the configuration items that controls the transponder or
when assigning a new administrator password.
Note: If you decide to change the default administrator password, make
sure you use
a
password that you will not forget.
You should use
a minimum of
4
characters (maximum of
8)
and avoid using special
characters like $,
*
or >. The password is case sensitive.
Remember if you forget or lose the password, you will not be able to
make changes to the transponder setups under "AIS Static". We
have no way of recalling your personal password. However, we can
reset the transponder to the default password. This can only be
done in the factory.
The AIS 10 screen allows you to change the default passwords of the user or admin-
istrator level authorization. You need to type the current password first before you
can change it.
