Service and User Passwords  
WARNING: It is very important that the Service password not be lost. The default  
password from the factory is mentioned on your AIS display at the protection foil. (see  
Appendix 7.3 for password information). Keeping the password in a second location may be  
wise. Memorizing the password is best. If you lose this password, you cannot make any  
further configuration changes: Access to the AIS is blocked. Another master key is not  
available and the unit would have to be returned to the ACR Service centre. This service is  
not free of charge.  
Once you have entered the system, please change the default password to your own  
passwords, for both levels of access. Use different passwords for the different security  
levels. Your passwords must meet the following criteria:  
Minimum of six (6) characters, maximum of eight (8) characters  
Letters must be in UPPER CASE  
Acceptable characters are the A-Z alphabet and 0- 9 digits  
Password may contain both letters and numbers  
The User Password can be reset in the service configuration menu by entering the Service  
Configuration menu and creating a new password.  
Changing the Service Password  
Select “Service Configuration” from the Main Menu with the cursor button [Up] & [Down] or  
press Number 6 on the keyboard.  
The password query field appears. Input default Service Password and press M5 [Enter].

f) Long Range Interrogation  
Mobile, and shore-based stations have the ability to interrogate vessels and make requests  
for information over the “Long Range Interface”. The interrogated vessel can either reply in  
automatic, or in manual mode. The interrogation request is displayed in both modes.  
The arrival of a Long Range Interrogation Request is indicated by:  
1L on the top right hand corner of the Navigation Screen. The LRI automatically arrives in  
the Message Inbox LRI and can be handled from there.

GPS Antenna Mounting  
It is important to input the exact mounting position of the GPS Antenna on the vessel as this  
influences the accuracy of the displayed target in an ECDIS.  
(RefPntExt:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as  
primary position source.  
(RefPntInt:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source is  
disabled).  
NOTE: When receiving position data from large vessels, it should be considered that the  
position refers to the antenna mounting point upon the vessel. To ensure accurate  
navigation, the antenna reference points (see Other Vessels Details) should be taken into  
consideration when determining the vessels position.  
Also, the electronic chart display in use should be programmed to consider the antenna  
reference points. Traffic images are represented in true distances only when all displayed  
targets, including own vessel, are working with AIS position information, which considers  
antenna reference points.

A Region is a defined area, with specific VHF parameters, which are sent out by Vessel  
Traffic Service Stations (VTS), and received via Digital Selective Calling (DSC) or AIS.  
The screen shows a list of Regions, and their input sources. When the vessel enters into one  
of the pre-defined Regions, the NAUTICAST automatically switches to the relevant Region  
Setting. If a Region Number is vacant, then the relevant Region Name Slot is currently  
unoccupied.  
Tip: For fast Region Selection, press the Region Number on the keyboard and the selected  
region is immediately displayed.

3.5.5 Service Configuration (Service Password Protected)  
The Service Configuration Menu allows initial configuration of the Service Password,  
Password Settings (on/off), MMSI/IMO Numbers and the option of resetting the NAUTICAST  
to Factory Settings.  
The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu. This is a  
higher security level than can be reached with the User Password and therefore ensures that  
the Service Configuration is protected, and limited to authorized service personnel.  
NOTE: Please see Appendix 7.3 for password information. It is strongly recommended to  
change the service password immediately after commencing initial NAUTICAST operation!

Graphical User Interface (GUI)  
The advanced version of the NAUTICAST is fitted with the new Graphical User Interface.  
The intention of this interface is to enable the operator to visualize any AIS traffic, which is  
traveling around the own position. Fast and direct access to AIS data is supported by display  
of a list containing vessel information, which can be reached directly from the Navigation  
Screen and viewed in two views (radar and fairway orientations). The NAUTICAST display is  
limited in resolution and size and should therefore be used as an additional information  
source only. The Navigation Screen (without the graphical information) remains the most  
relevant information source. The GUI is only visible in the advanced version of the  
NAUTICAST (software version 2.0.1.0 or higher).  
NOTE: The Automatic Identification System (AIS) provides additional information from AIS  
equipped vessels only. The intentions of the new views are to visualize this AIS data for  
better and faster access to the ship details.

The main features of this Graphical User Interface (GUI) are the two new view options:  
-
Radar View  
The typical way of presenting traffic information on screens  
Fairway View  
-
This type of view is oriented to the current course over ground (COG) and supports  
the operator with information related to this particular region  
Remarks

-
In both views it is possible to zoom in and out to get more detail or a better overview  
of the visual content.  
Additionally, it is possible to change the target (own & other vessel) symbols to fit  
personal requirements in both views.  
To receive further information on a specific target it can be selected by using the  
cursor keys.  
Messages will be displayed on the GUI. Writing answers to messages is done by  
automatically transferring to the Navigation Screen structure.  
The function keys remain unchanged in the GUI.

incident is automatically saved. The MOB message containing the distress information  
“Person Over Board” is automatically prepared for transmission as an Addressed or  
Broadcast Safety Related Message.

within receiving range. By activating the [Send] button, an individual vessel can be chosen  
as recipient of the MOB Message.  
The MOB screen shows the 5 closest vessels within receiving range as in some cases it  
may be helpful to send an individual message to a specific vessel, i.e. to a vessel which, is  
located closest to own ship or the accident area.  
The > at the end of the Vessel Listing indicates, that further Vessels are listed and can be

5 Troubleshooting  
5.1  
Reading and understanding Alarms:  
The NAUTICAST differentiates between Alarm and TXT messages. An Alarm informs the  
user about major system malfunctions and failings in the connected sensors.  
The Alarm Status informs the user about all active Alarms. The Alarm will be disabled and  
deleted from the Alarm Status, as soon as the displayed problem has been rectified.  
The TXT status displays additional sensor information and the UTC clock status.  
See tables (page 41) for Alarm and TXT Messages.  
Select “AIS Status” with cursor button [Up] & [Down]  
or press No. 2 on the keyboard.

Description Text  
Cause/Source  
System Reaction / Remedy  
Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission. If Alarm ID 01 and ID 02  
are simultaneously displayed, then a major antenna problem has arisen.  
Remedy:  
Check if the antenna is AIS compatible (156-162 MHz) and if the antenna  
cabling has a short circuit or is missing any contacts at the connectors.  
If the ID 01 is displayed as a stand alone message, then the unit requires  
replacing.  
VHF Antenna,  
cabling  
01  
02  
AIS: Tx malfunction  
AIS: Antenna VSWR  
exceeds limit (VSWR -  
Voltage Standing Wave  
Ratio)  
Reaction: The transponder unit continues transmission.  
Remedy:  
Check the antenna and the antenna cabling (RG214 / 50 Ohm cable  
required).

Reaction: The transponder unit stops transmission.  
Remedy;  
The transponder unit requires replacing.  
06  
AIS: General failure  
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation using the position data of  
the internal GPS. If there is no valid position data available from the internal  
GPS, error 026 is additionally displayed.  
AIS; External EPFS lost  
(EPFS = Electronic  
Position Fixing System  
such as GPS)  
No valid data on  
Ch1, Ch2 or Ch3  
is available  
Remedy:  
Id 25 indicates that the sentences GLL, GNS, GGA, RMC cannot be received.  
Check the sensor and the cabling; check if the system that delivers the data is  
working. Check the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. AIS requires the  
protocol NMEA 0183 V3.0! Normally Inland Vessels have no external  
EPFS no action required!

The sentence for HDT cannot be received. Check the sensor and the cabling,  
check if the system that delivers the data is working. Check the baud rate  
settings of the sensor inputs. Mention AIS accepts true heading only (no  
magnetic). Normally Inland Vessels have no Gyrocompass no action  
required!  
AIS: Heading lost/invalid external  
sensor  
(Gyrocompass)  
Reaction: The transponder unit continues operation  
Remedy:  
The sentence for ROT cannot be received. If a Rate Of Turn indicator is not in  
use, then it suffices to just acknowledge the alarm. The Alarm Status will store  
the information that no ROT sensor is available. Otherwise, check the sensor  
and the cabling. Check if the system that delivers the data is working. Check  
the baud rate settings of the sensor inputs. The AIS requires the protocol  
NMEA 0183 V3.0! Normally Inland Vessels have no ROT indicator no  
action required!

Password Settings  
This AIS transponder has two levels of password- protected security. The “User Password”  
gives access to user-level privileges and the ”Service Password” gives access to administrative  
privileges. The default password from the factory is mentioned on your AIS display at the  
protection foil.  
Once you have entered the system, please change the default password to your own  
passwords, for both levels of access. Use different passwords for the different security levels.  
Your passwords must meet the following criteria:  
Minimum of six (6) characters , maximum of eight (8) characters  
Letters must be in UPPER CASE  
Acceptable characters are the A-Z alphabet and 0- 9 digits  
Password may contain both letters and numbers  
After you have changed the password, write it down below.  
WARNING: It is very important that the Service password not be lost. Keeping the  
password in a second location may be wise. Memorizing the password is best. If you lose this  
password, you cannot make any further configuration changes: Access to the AIS is blocked.  
Another master key is not available and the unit would have to be returned to the ACR Service  
centre. This service is not free of charge.
