Features
Connected to a NavNet series display unit (MODEL 1833C/1943C, MFDBB, MFD8/MFD12)
or a PC, the FAX-30 receives facsimile images and navtex messages, transmitted from
facsimile and navtex stations.
• Programmed with all existing facsimile stations and frequencies. User may program 320
channels.
• Fully automatic facsimile operation with built-in schedule timer. Storage for 30 timer
programs.
• Fully automatic selection of speed, IOC, phase alignment and frequency. Manual
selection also available.
• Connection to printer via a PC to print facsimile images and navtex messages.
• Facsimile images in monochrome, gray scale (8 tones) or color (three patterns).
• Built in navtex receiver. (The receiver does not conform to GMDSS regulations.)
vii
Operational Characteristics
General
• The equipment receives one facsimile image or naxtex message at a time. Thus, a
navtex message cannot be received when a facsimile image is being received and vice
versa, regardless of navtex message category.
• Three receiving modes are available, facsimile, navtex, and facsimile(timer) & navtex.
When using the facsimile(timer) and navtex, the order of priority is
• The FAX-30 does not have an internal clock, so time is input from a NavNet display or the
PC. (For a PC-only configuration, time data is read when the browser accesses the
FAX-30. Therefore, turn on the FAX-30 before accessing it from the PC to allow for input
of time data, which is necessary for facsimile timer recording.) To receive time data, do
the following:
NavNet: Output the date and time data sentence ZDA through the NavNet network.
PC: Set the PC’s clock to the correct time.
• If both a NavNet series unit and a PC are used, it is recommended to operate the FAX-30
from the PC because of the two different communication protocols. (Use the NavNet
series unit to feed navigation data to the PC.)
• Navigation data must be fed through the network to use the automatic navtex mode.
Therefore, this mode is not available in the PC-only configuration.
NavNet
• The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the NavNet for 15 seconds after the FAX-30 has
The FAX-30 cannot be accessed when it is starting up, because image data is being loaded.
You can access the FAX-30 when the LED flashes 0.4 seconds every 2 seconds, which
starts approximately two minutes after the power is turned on.
PC
• The FAX-30 cannot be accessed from the PC while the FAX-30 is loading data at start up.
Wait until the POWER LED flashing interval changes from 0.4 to two seconds before
accessing the FAX-30.
• Most operating procedures in this manual are written for use with the Internet Explorer®.
Menu items, control button names, etc. may be different on the Netscape Navigator.

down the [SHIFT] key and then choose Reload.
*2 Connection is occasionally interrupted. In case of 4.78 + Win 98, the message “A
network error occurred: unable to connect to server (TCP Error: Not enough

displayed. To restore the connection, press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] to force quit Netscape.
Then, reopen Netscape and try to connect again.
*3 Connection is frequently interrupted and cannot be restored.
# Not verified.
• Use of older OS with recent browser will result in extremely slow operation.
• If the browser goes into timeout while an image is being received, access to the FAX-30
may be interrupted. In this case, click the right button on the mouse and click Refresh.
• Most PC operations are done with the left button on the mouse. The exception is saving a
facsimile image that is done with the right button.
• The FAX-30 cannot be simultaneously accessed by multiple PCs. For this reason, be
sure to use the logout feature to logout a PC from the FAX-30 when its use is not
required.
• If the FAX-30 appears to be abnormal, the browser version may not be compatible or
browser settings may be wrong. See the browser requirements on the previous page, the
browser and OS compatibility table above and the browser settings in paragraph 7.5.1.
• The HTTP and HTML versions of the FAX-30 are as shown below.

1.1.2 Preparations for using the FAX-30
The NavNet series display unit must output the date and time data sentence
ZDA through the network in order to use the facsimile timer recording feature.

(GPS position fix data) or GLL (geographic position, latitude/longitude). Output
appropriate data sentences from the NavNet display unit to the FAX-30 as
follows:
1. Turn on the NavNet display unit. From the radar, plotter or echo sounder
display, press the [MENU] key.
6. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose GGA, GLL or ZDA.
7. Press the ON/OFF soft key to display ON.
