Status List<br />

The Status List view lists current status of indications and the latest events. The different<br />

status indications are listed in section “Indication Messages” on page 67 in the Appendix.<br />

<strong>AIS</strong> Messages<br />

The system supports transmission of safety related messages (SRMs) <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> text messages<br />

for undefined purposes over the <strong>AIS</strong> data link. Messages can be broadc<strong>as</strong>t to all targets<br />

within range or adressed to a particular <strong>AIS</strong> target. Maximum length of each message<br />

is 156 characters for an addressed SRM and 161 characters for a broadc<strong>as</strong>t SRM. For text<br />

messages, the maximum lengths are 151 and 156 characters respectively. An <strong>AIS</strong> Message<br />

Icon will be displayed in the status bar whenever a new SRM or text message h<strong>as</strong><br />

been received.<br />

Note that <strong>Cl<strong>as</strong>s</strong> B transponders are allowed to, but not required to, process SRMs and<br />

boadc<strong>as</strong>t text messages. Thus it can not be expected that a message sent to a <strong>Cl<strong>as</strong>s</strong> B target<br />

will be received. Adressed text messages are not processed by <strong>Cl<strong>as</strong>s</strong> B transponders<br />

When sending an adressed message, a warning will be displayed if no acknowledge is received<br />

from the adressee. For text messages, it may be configured whether a warning also<br />

shall be provided if the message not h<strong>as</strong> been interpreted by the receiving equipment. Refer<br />

to “<strong>AIS</strong> Display” on page 53.<br />
