1.5 Service and User Passwords
The Transponder system is equipped with two levels of Password Protection, User and Service Password.
1) The User Password, which is the lower security level, allows access to all menus except Menu 6: Service Configuration which is protected by the Service Password.
2) The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu. This is a higher security level that can not be accessed with the User Password and therefore ensures that the Service Configuration is protected, and limited to authorized service personnel. The master of the vessel has to ensure that only authorized persons are allowed to make changes to the Service Configuration and ensures that the newly reset password is stored very carefully, as it can not be reset from the default “NAUT” a second time.
WARNING: a master key is not available and the unit would have to be returned to a service center
to correct for a lost Service password. The User Password can be reset in the service configuration menu by entering the Service Configuration menu and creating a new password.
Changing the Service Password
Select “Service Configuration” from the Main Menu with the cursor button [Up] & [Down] or press Number 6 on the keyboard. The password query field appears. Input default Service Password “NAUT” and press M5 [Enter].

GPS Antenna Mounting
It is important to input the exact mounting position of the GPS Antenna on the vessel as this influences the accuracy of the displayed target in an ECDIS.
(RefPntExt:) = The position of any external positioning device (GPS Antenna) used as primary
position source.
(RefPntInt:) = The position of the GPS Antenna (fallback device in case primary source is disabled).
After antenna installation, the distance from the sides must be measured and input. Either the distance from the vessel’s bow (a) or the stern (b) and starboard (d) and backboard (c) are required.
e.g. A vessel with the following dimensions:
Length: 100m Beam: 20m
Input: A90C5 - then press Enter or
B10D15 - then press Enter
Result:
RefPtExt: A90 B10 C5 D15m
The NAUTICAST automatically calculates the missing distances (a) or (b) and (c) or (d) - based on the vessel’s length and beam.
Note:
When receiving position data from large vessels, it should be considered that the position refers to the antenna mounting point upon the vessel. To ensure accurate navigation, the antenna reference points (see Other Vessels Details) should be taken into consideration when determining the vessels position.
User Manual 51 Y1-03-0207 Rev. A
Also, the electronic chart display in use should be programmed to consider the antenna reference points. Traffic images are represented in true distances only when all displayed targets, including own vessel, are working with AIS position information, which considers Antenna reference points.
Sample:
Display: CallSign = D11233 ShipName = M/V TUGELA Length = 20m Beam = 30m RefPointExt = A170 B30 C15 D15m (location of the external GPS antenna) RefPointInT = A170 B30 C9 D11m (location of the internal GPS antenna) ShipType = Tug
With the up/down keys you may move from line to line and input the correct data. The last line “ShipType:“ must be selected by actuating the left/right keys out of the pool of all possible types. Actuate “Enter”
Special is the setting of the GPS antenna position: The first settings which have to be entered are Length and Beam of the ship in meters. Next step: enter 2 values more per location to specify the distance from the bow and from the side. Distances are to be set in meters. A = the distance from bow to the antenna B= the distance from the antenna to the stern C = the distance from the port side to the antenna D = the distance from the antenna to the starboard side
Example: Length =200m, A = 160m, Beam = 30m, D = 15m Move with Up/down keys to the Length line. Type 200, actuate “Enter” Move one line down. Type 30, actuate “Enter” RefPtExt and RefPtInt both show “N/A” now. Only one of the length values A or B must be entered and one of the width values C or D. For our example in the RefPtExt – line type as follows:
A160D15 (without spaces)
Actuate “Enter” The full line as shown will be displayed: RefPtExt: A160 B40 C15 D15m B and C are calculated by the AIS. Do the same with the RefPtInt – line Actuate soft key “Save” Display: Data Saved

The screen provides the means to switch the position pinning function of the internal GPS receiver on and off. For vessels operating with SOG < 0,3 knots it is recommended to switch position pinning off. Otherwise the internal GPS receiver may deliver wrong position information. The data input field is fitted with the recommended default value (<on>). The M6 button is used for toggling between the two modes of position pinning; the M5 button is used for saving the settings.
Attention: The system will be restarted after saving the settings.

3.5.6 Service Configuration (Service Password Protected)
The Service Configuration Menu allows initial configuration of the Service Password, Password Settings (on/off), MMSI/IMO Numbers and the option of resetting the NAUTICAST to Factory Settings.
The Service Password is required in order to enter the Service Configuration Menu. This is a higher security level than can be reached with the User Password and therefore ensures that the Service Configuration is protected, and limited to authorized service personnel.
Note:
The default Service Password is set at “NAUT”
It is strongly recommended to change it immediately after commencing initial NAUTICAST operation!

3.6 Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The advanced version of the NAUTICAST is fitted with the new Graphical User Interface. The intention of this interface is to enable the operator to visualize any AIS traffic, which is traveling around the own position. Fast and direct access to AIS data is supported by display of a list containing vessel information, which can be reached directly from the Navigation Screen and viewed in two views (radar and fairway orientations). The NAUTICAST display is limited in resolution and size and should therefore be used as an additional information source only. The Navigation Screen (without the graphical information) remains the most relevant information source. The GUI is only visible in the advanced version of the NAUTICAST (software version 2.0.1.0 or higher).
Attention:
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) provides additional information
from AIS equipped vessels only.
The intentions of the new views are to visualize this AIS data
for better and faster access
The main features of this Graphical User Interface (GUI) are the two new view options:
- Radar View The typical way of presenting traffic information on screens
- Fairway View This type of view is oriented to the current course over ground (COG) and supports the operator with information related to this particular region
Remarks
- In both views it is possible to zoom in and out to get more detail or a better overview of the visual content.
- Additionally, it is possible to change the target (own & other vessel) symbols to fit personal requirements in both views.
- To receive further information on a specific target it can be selected by using the cursor keys.
- Messages will be displayed on the GUI. Writing answers to messages is done by automatically transferring to the Navigation Screen structure.
- The function keys remain unchanged in the GUI.

4 Safety Functions
The NAUTICAST is fitted with Safety Keys, which allow the user to automatically send urgent messages without the necessity of navigating the Menus.
The SRM Button sends out Broadcast Safety Related Messages to all ships in the Vessel Listing. The MOB Button sends out precise position of incident to Addressed Vessels, therefore allowing the message to be sent to a vessel closest to accident location.

using the [Left] or [Right] buttons.
