See COURSE OVER GROUND COURSE OVER GROUND Course made good relative to the sea bed. CURSOR A flashing rectangle superimposed on a character position in the display window, indicating that a character may be entered in that position, or that the existing character may be changed via the keyboard. DEFAULT A condition that the navigator assumes automatically if no other condition is initiated by the operator.

Greenwich Mean Time. See also UNIVERSAL TIME COORDINATED. GPS SYSTEM TIME Time corrected to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) and used as the time standard by the user segment of the GPS system. HEADING The direction in which the vessel is pointed, expressed as angular distance from north clockwise through 360 degrees. HEADING should not be confused with COURSE.

DESIGN NOTES The Tron AIS TR-2600, an AIS Base Station, is the most basic AIS-related entity of any AIS Shore Infrastructure. The AIS Base Station is defined by IMO. It cannot operate on its own, because it needs commands from an external unit, i.e. a Base Station Controller (BSC), which may be connected to a Management System.
• Each time a new rate is determined, the last start slot is used to allocate the other slots in the frame. Old reserved slots are marked free. • Each time a CAB message is received enabling or disabling one of the channels, the current start slot will be used to calculate the other slots according to schedule.
• BSC IP address and destination port for UDP connection 1.2.9.2 Configurable start of msg 4 In the Jotron AIS BS there are three options at a system re-start for how to handle msg.4. Normally the msg. 4 is defined in the CBM message, with a start slot.
1.2.9.3 Configurable LAN interface The Jotron AIS BS provides PI over either TCP or UDP connection to unit. UDP, destination can either be another unicast or a multicast address. Configuration by MMI: • Own IP Address and AIS Receiver listen port •...
Administration The operation system used for the AIS BS is embedded Linux. A small Linux system is configured specially for our unit. A subset of Linux commands are available. 1.5.1 User / groups We have defined three users in our system; root, lab and guest. These are initial users, with initial passwords.
