Page 104: Bridge Alert Management (Bam)
(IEC 62923-1 and IEC 62923-2 Bridge Alert Management). BAM status The LT-3100 system continuously monitors for fault conditions (e.g. no satellite signal), that requires the attention of the bridge team and raises relevant alerts. The user can, at any time, check for the presence of alerts without performing any action: if there are one or more active alerts, a BAM icon representing the alert with the highest priority is shown in the status bar (see Figure 131).
Page 105 Alert priority and state The priority of an alert indicates its severity. The BAM concept defines 4 priorities: Emergency Alarm, Alarm, Warning and Caution. The LT-3100 system can raise alerts of the following priorities: • Warning: Condition requiring immediate attention, but no immediate action by the bridge team.

GNSS sentences The LT-3100 system supports outputting of GNSS sentences encoded as NMEA 0183 via an RS-422 interface from the LT-3100 system, as illustrated in Figure 134. The LT-3100 system has a built-in GNSS receiver in the LT-3130 Antenna Unit.
Page 109: Bam Sentences
The LT-3100 system supports connection to an external Central Alert Management (CAM) system via an RS- 422 interface from the LT-3100 system, as illustrated in Figure 135. The CAM system can receive BAM information (e.g. warning and cautions) from the bridge equipment and centralize and present this information to the user, which can be acknowledged to the BAM equipment (here the LT-3100 system).
Page 110: Nmea 0183 Over Udp
NMEA 0183 over UDP NMEA 0183 over UDP The LT-3100 system is supporting transmission of NMEA 0183 sentences (GNSS position information) via the LAN or Bluetooth interface. The supported protocol is UDP (only broadcast). Figure 136: NMEA 0183 over UDP (broadcast) The IP destination address will always be the local broadcast address of the LAN or BT network.

Page 121 Figure 149: Web server - Network If the LT-3100 system is connected to a local network as illustrated in Figure 149, where a DHCP server is already available, then the LT-3100 system must be configured to either DHCP client or Static mode. The Static mode can be used, if it is required that the IP-address of the LT-3110 Control Unit must never change.
Page 122 LT-3100 User & Installation Manual Rev. 1.06 Web server DHCP Server The DHCP server mode must be used when connecting the LT-3110 Control Unit directly to another IP- device or local network, where no DHCP server is offered, and where it is required that a DHCP server is offered for assigning IP-addresses to network clients.
Page 123 LT-3100 User & Installation Manual Rev. 1.06 Web server Static The Static mode must be used when the IP-address of the LT-3110 Control Unit must never change. Typically used, if connecting the LT-3110 Control Unit to an IP-network, where a DHCP server is already available, and where it is important that the IP-address assigned for the LT-3110 Control Unit is never changed.
