9.1 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.
Note:
On an MFD network only the Data master MFD needs to be configured.
