ARCS Implementation Additional Notes for Licensed Developers Version 1.4 February 2000 SECTION 1 STAGES IN THE ARCS MANUFACTURER LICENSING AND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS 1.1 Developer’s pack contents You are now licensed to develop ARCS compatible systems. You should have been supplied with the following items in this package: ARCS Security - Manufacturer’s Specifications document; Encrypted sample data in HCRF Version 2.00 on CD-ROM; Promotional Pack including general ARCS brochures; Company specific manufacturer development codes (MIDs); Skipper Problem test pack (only OEMs developing for the Skipper service); This document. You should also have received a copy of your completed ARCS Manufacturer’s Licence Agreement for your records. 1.2 Addition of your company’s details to UKHO promotional material Once you are licensed, your company’s details can be added to the main UKHO chart catalogue (NP131) and to the general ARCS brochures as an OEM developing ARCS compatibility. If you would like your company’s details added to these please let BD(PA) know. Examples of the general ARCS brochures are provided in the Promotional Pack and can be used as pro-formers for the data that we will require. 1.3 Initial development using encrypted sample data Initial development work should involve the decryption and use of the test charts that are supplied on the sample CD. The document ‘ARCS Security - Manufacturer’s Specifications’ defines how to decrypt ARCS data and also details the licensing checks that are to be performed. Technical assistance on decryption and system functionality can be provided by BD(PA). (See Annex A). The sample CD contains only 4 charts. Please remain aware, during this initial stage, of the problems associated with handling larger numbers of charts. It is easy to design a system that works well with 4 charts, but is very unwieldy with large numbers. Associated documents that you will need to consult during development are: HCRF Version 2.0 (NP 760) - the ARCS data format document; ARCS Systems Developer Implementation Guide (ASDIG) which gives some guidance on system functionality; These notes ‘ARCS Implementation - Additional Notes for Licensed Developers’. 1.4 Development using commercial ARCS data 5
