1.5 MMSI number
At the time of issue of your vessel’s radio license an MMSI
(Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number must be requested.
This is a nine-digit number which must be permanently entered
into the RS86/RS87 when the radio is first set up, otherwise the
DSC functions cannot be accessed.
Note If the boat or the RS86/RS87 are subsequently sold, the radio
should be returned to an authorized Simrad agent for the MMSI
number to be erased and the new owner’s MMSI number entered.
An MMSI number will only be issued to licensed and certified
users. Please enquire with your local licensing authority for full
details.
➞ Refer to section 3.2.1 on how to enter the vessel’s MMSI
number.
1.6 ATIS number
Some countries require an ATIS number (e.g. Benelux and the
Rhine/Danube waterways); however, this option will only ap-
pear on ATIS-equipped radios.
➞ Refer to section 3.2.2 for information on how to enter an
ATIS number.
1.7 Group ID MMSI
For boats that are part of a flotilla, racing fleet, or other group, a
Group ID MMSI number can also be entered, which will allow
DSC communication within the group.
Note Contact your local authority for rules regarding Group MMSI
allocation. In some countries, where ATIS is in use, Group MMSI
numbers may not be permitted.
➞ Refer to section 3.2.3 on how to enter a Group MMSI number.
