MARIS ECDIS900 Installation Manual
INSTALLING MARIS APPLICATIONS
The computers come with preinstalled software. Check the versions and update if needed. An
update can be done on top of the existing version and will not overwrite configurations or
user data. Sensor Monitor and Application Manager are installed as part of ECDIS900. Other
programs must be installed separately.
Tips
Create a folder “MARIS Apps” on the desktop. Share the folder.
Copy all installation files (ECDIS900, PC Radar, Navtex and Application Manager) to that folder.
This will enable the crew to reinstall failing programs if the need arises.
ECDIS900
Close all running programs and start the ECDIS900 installation program. Follow the
instructions on screen, accept default settings and pay attention to these steps:
TYPE OF MONITOR
Select the monitor installed. If you are in doubt, select Unknown Monitor.
The selection here loads the correct color table for the monitor in use or loads a standard
color table.
SCREEN DIMENSIONS
Grab a ruler and measure the dimensions. Enter the actual values. Incorrect settings will give
incorrect aspect ratio and circles on the chart will appear as ovals. This is important on wide-
screen monitors.
USER PASSWORD
Passwords are managed in the Application Manager. See below chapter Application Manager.
SELECT MONITORING OR PLANNING STATION
Double right-click the blue title bar and set the computer as either monitoring (master) or
planning (slave). Only one master is allowed, but several slaves can be configured.
SENSOR MONITOR
This program is installed as part of the ECDIS900 package.
Sensor Monitor is the keystone in the MARIS system and takes care of the data flow on the
network between the sensors, computers and programs.
This chapter describes how to configure the most commonly used sensors, NMEA0183, AIS
Transponder and Display Controller. For other sensors, or for a more detailed
explanation, read the Sensor Monitor Chapter in ECDIS900 Technical Manual.
