Configuration
The AIS700 should be configured prior to installation, using a PC/laptop, USB Micro-B cable, and the proAIS2 software.
The manner in which configuration is carried out depends on the legal requirements of your geographical location.
USA
In the USA, it is a legal requirement that the configuration is performed by a qualified dealer or installer.
You can use the proAIS2 PC software to check the vessel data programmed into your AIS700. If this information is incorrect, please contact your Raymarine dealer.
Areas outside of USA
In areas outside of the USA, use the proAIS2 PC software to configure your AIS700.
If configuring after installation ensure any MFDs on the same network are switched off first, otherwise you will not be able to correctly configure your AIS700.
The following vessel-related static data should be configured:
MMSI number
Vessel name
Vessel call sign
Vessel dimensions including AIS GNSS (GPS) antenna location
Vessel type
A valid 9 digit MMSI number must be entered. Invalid numbers will not be accepted. Only the Vessel call sign field is entirely optional.
Once the MMSI number has been entered using the ProAIS2 software and the configuration saved (via the “Write Configuration” option), the MMSI number cannot be subsequently changed, without returning the unit to an authorized Raymarine dealer for reprogramming. Always check the MMSI number before saving the configuration.
