Vessel settings panel
Your vessel’s MMSI number
You need to have your own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number entered in the
GN70/MX61x system to be able to receive addressed messages from AIS and DSC vessels.
It is also important to have the MMSI number entered to avoid seeing your own vessel as an
AIS target on the plotter.
¼ Note: The Vessel message option in the alarm settings must be toggled on if any MMSI message
shall be displayed.
Filtering the targets
All targets are by default shown on the display if an AIS device is
connected to the N2K network.
You can select not to show any targets, or to filter the icons based on
security settings, distance and vessel speed.
Vessels extension lines
The length of the extension lines for your vessel and for other
vessels can be set by the operator.
The length of the extension lines is either set as a fixed distance,
or to indicate the distance the vessel will move to in the selected
time period.
For your vessel, heading information is read from active heading
sensor, and COG information is received from the active GPS.
For other vessels COG data is included in the message received from the AIS system.
Dening dangerous vessels
You can define an invisible guard zone around your
vessel. When a target comes within this distance from
your vessel, the symbol will change to the “dangerous”
target symbol. An alarm will be triggered if activated in
the Alarm settings panel.
