SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION

For detailed instructions on how to install the Link2AIS™ software, please refer to the product support manual provided
with this product.
SECTION 2 - STARTING THE LINK2AIS™ SOFTWARE
When starting the program, it welcomes you and asks for a connection (see also "Connect / Disconnect").
Select one of the already defined connections in the drop-down list or define a new connection by clicking the "New..."
button as described in "Creating a New Connection", page 21. When the selection has been made, press "Connect" to
start the program.
When you click "Abort Program" or have chosen a connection not available, the program will not be able to communicate
with the device. The following message appears to warn you about this state:
NOTE: The device requires static data to be entered. When connecting to a new AIS device, the static data is most likely
not defined. The program automatically enters the page to define the static ship data. However, the page can be selected
at any time.
WARNING: It is a violation of the rules of the Federal Communications Commission to
In the United States
input an MMSI that has not been properly assigned to the end user, or to otherwise input any inaccurate data in this
device.
Once connected, you can choose any of the pages selectable from the menus.
Many settings will be stored on your PC. When you start the program again, most appearances will be the same as when
you last used the program.
