Appendix 4: DATA RETRIEVAL

The VDG-100G3 is supplied with several options for retrieving and playing recorded voyage data:
1. The primary method of retrieving data is via the 4 GB USB Memory Stick. The
downloading of data to the USB memory stick is initiated at the OAU via the 'Copy' button
(see Chapter11 – Operation and Alarm Unit and User Guide.
2. Alternatively, the Remote Storage Module (RSM) may be used to retrieve recorded data
from the VDR. The downloading of data to the RSM is initiated at the OAU via the 'Copy'
button (see Chapter 13: Remote Storage Module (optional).
3. A third method is to download data via a Client PC connected to the VDR by a LAN
connection. All necessary software is provided and must be installed on the Client PC
(see below Section 2A4.2 - Installation of Download Software on Client PC).
A4.1 Optional Client Download PC
If the customer should choose to make use of the optional download client PC, additional copies
of the playback software are supplied. The Download/Playback client PC should be a Pentium
class or equivalent, and IEC 60945 certified if installed on the Bridge. The computer system
should, as a minimum, include:
1. Pentium III or higher processor
2. 256 MB of memory
3. SVGA Video port and monitor (it is recommended that the monitor be 15" or
larger and supports a non-scrollable resolution of 1024x768 or greater)
4. Audio hardware with PC speakers or headphones
5. 100 Base-TX Ethernet Interface
6. USB 2.0 Port
7. Serial data port (if external ECDIS display support is required)

A4.2 Installation of Download Software on Client PC
There are 2 steps to install the Download application onto the Client PC:
1. Copy the Download application (VDR_Download.exe) from the supplied media to the
desktop of the download computer, or if an install file is supplied, double-click the "Install
VDR Download.exe" file.
2. Configure the download computer as a 'Client' for the 'Download Application' to connect
to the VDG-100G3 and retrieve the recorded data. To do this, the download PC must be
in the same IP segment as the download port on the VDR. The VDR's download port
occupies IP address 200.200.200.200. The client PC must be in the same range, with the
last segment different than the VDR (as shown below.) To change the IP segment:
a. Open the Control Panel via the Start menu.
b. Double-click the Network Connections icon.
