Test Message
Use Test Message to check that the SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder can
send a text message to and receive a text message from other transponder
systems. This test is done automatically. No action from the message
recipient is required. A target with at suitable range (15-25 NM) is selected
if such a target has been received by the SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder.
The SAILOR 6282 AIS Transponder supports AIS SART Test messages
and COM Test messages.
To receive an AIS SART Test do as follows:
1. Unlock the page by entering the password.
2. Tap the AIS SART Test selection box to enable the display of AIS
SART Test targets.
To start a COM Test do as follows:
1. Tap the COM Test Target to select a target for testing communication.
This target responds by an automatic acknowledge from the displayed
MMSI number. For each tap the test target changes because there are
some rules to be followed (e.g. the AIS Transponder may not select
closest or most distant target, it must toggle to new target after test
message is sent for new test message)
2. Tap Start COM Test. The test starts and the result of the
communication test is shown on the screen.
