Here are some basic instructions on how to implement ‘isAIS‘ data collection:
- You will need an internet connection onboard and either our AIS to internet adaptor (simplest solution) , our SeaNav Mac app or a PC or Mac running AIS Dispatcher.
If you are using our AIS to internet adaptor:-
- The serial output of the AIS transponder of your vessel must be connected to our AIS to internet adaptor. Since the cabling of the serial connection depends on the type of your AIS transponder, please refer to its installation manual for more information. Some examples: Proposed cabling for AIS transponders Furuno FA-100 and FA-150
Proposed cabling for AIS transponder Samyung SI30 - Connect the lan port of our adaptor to a lan port on your ship.
If you are using a Mac or PC follow these instructions
- On a Mac use our SeaNav Navigation app or AIS Dispatcher. Ask us for a complimentary copy of our SeaNav for Mac app.
- On a PC you will need AISHUBs ‘AIS Dispatcher‘ .
- The serial output of the AIS transponder of your vessel must be connected to a usb port on the PC or Mac. You will need serial to USB cable to do this. Since the cabling of the serial connection depends on the type of your AIS transponder, please refer to its installation manual for more information.
