    Local transceivers ......................16 Operation ......................... 17 Automatic stop ........................ 17 Introduction This manual describes how to connect and configure APOS Survey to an existing onboard APOS/HiPAP system. Note APOS Survey requires HiPAP mk II transceivers running HiPAP SW version 2 or newer on the onboard system. The onboard system must run APOS version 4 or newer.
  • Page 6: Hardware Installation

    The interface between APOS Survey and onboard APOS is normally a high speed serial line with a galvanic isolated connection. APOS Survey is delivered with a MOXA Ethernet to 4 port serial unit for this purpose. In order to transfer data between the two systems, a small program called ASI (APOS Survey Interface) has to be installed on the existing vessels APOS system.
  • Page 7: Procedure

    MOXA is different from the 8 port serial in the APOS computer. 5. The APOS Survey comes with a short Ethernet STP cable. This cable MUST be connected between the Net A and Net B sockets on the survey computer if these are unused.

    3. From the pull down list, select the item with the IP address that matches the Net A address on the computer. This address normally starts with 157.237.x.x or 172.21.x.x. If the wrong network adapter is selected APOS Survey will not be able to contact the HiPAP or receive sensor data from the HiPAP. 4. Press OK.

  • Page 10 Kongsberg Maritime On the APOS Survey, the ASI program must be configured with correct serial line also. 1. Select the COM port that is connected to the on board APOS via the MOXA Ethernet to serial unit. The COM port number will possibly not be the same as on the other system.
  • Page 11: System Setup

    Selected settings are transferred from the onboard system to the APOS Survey when setting up the APOS Survey on a new vessel and connecting it to the existing APOS/HiPAP system, After transfer of settings from the onboard APOS, the APOS Survey may be modified without settings being copied back to the vessel system.

    None of these setting changes will be transferred back to the on board system. The APOS Survey may use its own setting for sound velocity, lever arm offsets etc. The APOS Survey may also use a separate GNSS/Gyro/VRU/attitude sensor and additional transceivers.

    Kongsberg Maritime Local transceivers Portable transceivers (HiPAP351P, µPAP or cPAP) can be added. 1. Enter the Configure and then Transceiver menu. 2. Press the Edit button and the following dialog will be displayed; 3. Right click in the view for adding a local transceiver.
  • Page 17: Operation

    APOS and the APOS Survey stops. This means that a quick way to disable/stop all APOS Survey activity is to stop the ASI program on the vessel system. This could be used as an “emergency” stop for a DPO to block all APOS Survey operations on the vessel system.
