Configuring using proAIS2

Important:
In the United States of America, it is a violation of the
rules of the Federal Communications Commission to
input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned
to the end user or to otherwise input any inaccurate
data in this device. 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.
Ensure you check the regulations for your location to
ensure you are allowed to configure MMSI data on
your unit.
Set up
With the proAIS2 software open on your PC:
1. Select the AIS device from the drop down list at the
top of the page.
2. Click Connect.
3. Enter your vessel's details, including MMSI in the
relevant fields.
4. Select a Vessel Type appropriate for your vessel
from the drop down list.
5. Ensure that the built-in GNSS receiver is not

this data can cause data conflicts. The ability to
output these sentences is intended for diagnostics
purposes only.

location in the relevant fields.
