4.13 Send Persons On Board
In the Send Persons On Board view it is possible to send information about number of
persons on board (PoB) to another vessel. The PoB message can be sent as either
addressed or broadcast. The PoB message can also be sent in two different versions:
 The IMO version sends the total number of persons on board as a binary message
with international FI 16.
 The Inland (IWW) version sends a message with number of crew, personnel and
passengers as a binary message with inland FI 55. The information sent in the
messages is automatically filled in by the R5 SOLID depending on the voyage
configuration made in Main Menu  Voyage  AIS Voyage.

4.14 Long Range Interrogations
An AIS transponder can receive long range interrogation messages to poll for certain
information. A received interrogation message is indicated by a LR icon in the status bar.
If the “Long Range Reply Mode” parameter has been configured to “Auto”, the R5 SOLID
will automatically send a response to the interrogation. If the “Long Range Reply Mode”
parameter is set to “Manual”, the operator must send a response or refusal from the Long
Range Message view accessed from Main Menu  Messages  Long Range. For more
information about the “Reply Mode” parameter and Long Range filter settings, see section
