3.5.2 AIS Status  
The AIS Status Menu provides a variety of information concerning own vessel settings, as well as  
the current AIS status of the other vessels, which are displayed in the Vessel Listing.  
Version Info provides details of the actual software release currently installed. Security Log traces  
the downtimes of the Transponder, to ensure those periods of down time when the transponder is  
out of order or lacking electricity can be traced.

The accuracy of the position is higher than 10 m (= High <10m), the opposite would be less than  
10m (= Low >10m). This information indicates that the vessels Transponder is connected with a user  
interface and can show AIS Data. This function basically ensures that the current Transponder being  
used is fitted with a display and can therefore send and receive messages.  
As the NAUTICAST is fitted with an integrated display unit, it will always show “DTE: Available”.

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.  
(Ref.Points ext:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as primary  
position source.  
(Ref.Points int:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source is  
disabled).  
After antenna installation, the distance from the sides must be measured and input.  
Either the distance from the vessel‟s bow (a) or the stern (b) and starboard (d) and backboard (c) are  
required.  
e.g. A vessel with the following dimensions:  
Length:  
Beam:  
220m  
43m  
Input:  
A: 200 - then press Enter or  
B: 20 - then press Enter  
C: 10 then press Enter  
D: 33 then press Enter  
Result:  
The NAUTICAST automatically calculates A+ B and C + D and shows length and beam of the  
vessel.  
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.

Setting of the internal GPS antenna position:  
A = 171m the distance from bow to the antenna  
B= 29m the distance from the antenna to the stern  
C = 0m the distance from the port side to the antenna

The AIS calculates Length and Beam:  
Len (A+B):  
200m  
Beam(C+D): 30m  
The calculated Length (A+B) and Beam (C+D) of external and internal GPS antenna position must  
be the same value, other your entered distances are wrong and the AIS shows in the last line:  
>>> ext/int ship length doesn't match  
After correct settings of external and internal GPS antenna reference points the AIS allows to press

b) Region Settings  
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.

Please mention the system will restart automatically when saving these setting later. .  
Pos.Pinning:  
The screen provides means to switch the position pinning function of the internal GPS receiver <On>  
and <Off>. For vessels operating with SOG < 0,3 knots it is recommended to switch position pinning  
Off. Otherwise the internal GPS receiver may deliver wrong position information.  
The data input field is fitted with the recommended default value (<on>). The M6 button is used for  
toggling between the two modes of position pinning; the M5 button is used for saving the settings.  
NOTE: The system will be restarted after saving the settings.

3.6 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.

want to choose a width greater than the visible “Zero-line” you have  
to enter here 100%, additionally the parameter Dim(D) has to be set  
to a value greater than zero.  
Value range: 10% to 100%  
Dim(D)  
The parameter Dim(D) defines the height of the horizontal guidance  
lines in percent of the display resolution (pixel). If you want to  
choose a width greater than the visible “Zero-line” (refer to the  
horizontal guidance lines f´2) you have to enter the value 0%,  
additionally the parameter Dim(C) has to be set to 100% (your  
parameters will pass an internal value check while entering).  
Value range: 10% to 70%

4 Safety Functions  
The NAUTICAST is fitted with Safety Keys, which allow the user to automatically send urgent  
messages without the necessity of navigating the Menus.  
The SRM Button sends out Broadcast Safety Related Messages to all ships in the Vessel Listing.  
The MOB Button sends out precise position of incident to Addressed Vessels, therefore allowing the  
message to be sent to a vessel closest to accident location.

4.1 MOB Person over Board  
By pressing the MOB button the current navigation position of own vessel and time of 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.  
By pressing the [Broadcast] button, the MOB Message is automatically sent to all vessels 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 scrolled  
using the [Left] or [Right] buttons.

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 Nr. 2 on the keyboard.

7.2 Password Settings:  
The default password from the factory is mentioned on your AIS display at the protection foil. After  
you have changed the password, you shall write it down here. It is very important that the Service  
password is memorized. The service password is the highest password level. When you lose this  
password, you cannot make any further configuration changes. The 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. The service is not free of charge.
