Onboard displays, such as chartplotters, decode these messages and plot the position of the AIS target. Even without a transceiver, an AIS receiver built into some VHF radios can monitor this information. It can also automatically monitor the same information of other AIS-equipped vessels, substantially reducing the risk of collision, even in thick fog or dark of night. But there are some limitations you need to know before installing the system.įor the uninitiated, first a little background: Boats that have an AIS transceiver installed can automatically broadcast critical information, including the vessel's identity and real-time position, course, and speed, using VHF frequencies. For any boater who wants every layer of protection available, AIS is a godsend. The following table lists the FEC states for the Ethernet controller.įEC is not enabled on the Ethernet controller.Automatic Identification System, more commonly known as AIS, first became available to recreational boaters about 10 years ago and has proved a significant addition to boating safety.
