Ais Setup - Simrad RS40 User Manual

Test acknowledge
The radio can be configured to automatically acknowledge an
incoming test call, or require manual intervention:
Manual
Operator must manually choose to send acknowledgement, or
cancel.
Auto
The DSC test call is automatically acknowledged after a 10 second
delay.
Receive distress while off
Enabling this feature will allow the radio to raise an alert for DSC
distress calls, even when the DSC feature is turned off. This will work
regardless of whether or not an MMSI number has been entered.
DSC timeout
An inactivity timeout can be set up to return the radio to normal
operational mode when no activity is seen from the radio operator
while radio is engaged in a DSC call.
Distress calls have a discrete timer from that used for all other DSC
calls:
Distress
Select between NONE, 5 MINS, 10 MINS and 15 MINS.
(default is NO TIMEOUT).
Non Distress
Select between NONE, 5 MINS, 10 MINS and 15 MINS.
(default is 15 MINS).

AIS setup

This radio is equipped with an AIS receiver which can receive
information from other vessels transmitting AIS static data.
Additionally, the RS40-B is also equipped with an AIS transmitter
which can transmit your vessel's AIS static data.
¼ Note:
The AIS Class-B transmit function requires a separate VHF
antenna to be installed and connected to the AIS Antenna socket on
the rear of the radio. See installation details in "Connect the radio
wiring" on page 58.
