Comar SLR200N Netwerk AIS ontvanger

Comar SL200N (G)

De Comar SLR200N is een volwaardige 2-kanaals AIS-ontvanger die met en zonder GPS verkrijgbaar is. Dit is de enige verkrijgbare Netwerk AIS ontvanger welke zonder tussenkomst van een computer rechtstreeks via LAN aan het internet of eigen tracking systeem gekoppeld kan worden. Deze proffesionel netwerk AIS ontvanger is ontworpen voor continu gebruik. Omdat AIS werkt in het frequentiebereik van de marifoon kan hiervoor een gewone marifoon antenne worden gebruikt. U hebt hiervoor een aparte antenne nodig.

Nauticsupport kan speciaal voor deze toepassing VHF antennes leveren met een versterking van 3/6dB waardoor het ontvangstbereik groter en stabieler wordt waardoor vooral de ontvangstrange van klasse B transponder vergroot kan worden.

Hieronder de installatie-aanwijzingen:

There are two basic methods for connecting to the SLR200N Network AIS receiver, as follows.

METHOD 1 : Connecting using a Virtual COM (Serial) Port.
By using this method, you can site the SLR200N at a remote location at any distance from you, either on your local network or connected to the Internet.
The supplied software will create a virtual COM port on your PC, which you can open with any suitable software in order to view the AIS data.
(Please note that in order to connect to the SLR200N over the Internet then you need to know the IP Address of the SLR200N and so it is usual to connect
it to a Router or similar device which has a fixed IP device or which can post its own IP address to one of the services available on the internet).

METHOD 2 : Using the SLR200N to connect to and forward data to a Server.
By using this method, you can again site the SLR200N at a remote location at any distance from you, either on your local network or connected to the Internet.
The supplied software utility will allow you to configure the SLR200N to automatically connect to a given port number at a given IP address
and this would normally be the address of a Server PC, where suitable software will accept the connection from the SLR200N and read/log the AIS data sent by the SLR200N.
(Please note for this method, the SLR200N does not need to be sited at a fixed IP address, though the Server does).

CONNECTING YOUR SLR200N TO A NETWORK OR PC
------------------------------------------
The SLR200N can be connected to a standard PC, Network Router or Switch by using a standard network cable.

When correctly connected to a network, the small green LED light on the network port on the rear of the SLR200N will be illuminated.
The amber LED light on the network port will also flash to indicate network activity.

NOTE: If you should wish to connect the SLR200N directly to your PC (for example for configuration or testing) then the network conection in your PC should be set
to use a fixed IP address, as the SLR200N is not a DHCP server and will not generate a IP address for your PC.

METHOD 1: Connecting to the SLR200N using a Virtual Com (Serial) Port
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The quick start guide provides a complete description of how to setup and connect to the SLR200N using a virtual com port.
See the document entitled 'Com-Port-Redirector_Quick Start.pdf' in the 'Com Port Redirector' folder on the CDROM.

A. To install the Com Port Redirector software, run the "Com Port Redirector xxxxxx.exe" installation executable in the 'Com Port Redirector' folder on the CDROM.

NOTE 1: Please note that the Com Port Redirector software requires that the Microsoft .NET framework version 2.0 or later is installed on your PC.
If your PC is connected to the Internet then the software will attempt to download the .NET framework ,
but the .NET framework installer is also supplied in the 'Dot Net Framework' folder on the CDROM.

NOTE 2: The default IP address for the SLR200N is 192.168.1.200 and default TCP port is 10001

B. When the Com Port Redirector software is installed select the 'CPR Manager' from the installed applications.
C. If you have installed your SLR200N on your local network then select 'Search' from the 'Device' menu and your SLR200N should appear on
the list of devices, shown as a 'Xport-03' Product.
D. Select the 'Com Port' menu and then 'Add and Remove'.
E. Choose a free (unchecked) COM Port number to use and check it.
F. Highlight your new COM Port so that the 'Settings' dialog is shown on the right hand side of the screen.
G. Click on your SLR200N in the 'Device' list at the bottom of the screen, so that the Host IP and TCP Port are added to the 'Service' list.
OR if you are accessing the SLR200N over the Internet then type the IP address for the SLR200N into the 'Host' column and the TCP Port for the SLR200N into the 'TCP Port' column.
H. Select the 'Com Port' menu and then 'Save Settings'.
I. To test your new connection, select the 'Test' tab which has now appeared and click on the 'Open' button.
J. 'Com Status' should change to 'Open' and Network Status to 'Connected to .....', also if your SLR200N is receiving AIS data then the 'Rx Data' field should show the number of bytes received.
K. Click on the 'Close' button to end the test.
L. If you wish to test further and see the raw AIS data received by the SLR200N then select the 'All Com Ports' then the 'General Tests' tab and open your new COM Port.
M. You can now access your SLR200N by simply choosing the new virtual COM port that you added in (D) as the source for your AIS data.

For further information on the monitoring and maintenance of the Virtual COM (Serial) port , please see the 'CPR Monitor' utility and the help files for both that program and the 'CPR Manager' program.

METHOD 2: Setting up the SLR200N to connect to and forward data to a server
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to forward data to a Server you need to configure the SLR200N, using the supplied 'Device Installer' software found in the 'Device Installer'
folder on the CDROM.

NOTE: A full manual for the device installer can also be found online at 'http://www.lantronix.com/support/webhelp/device-installer/DeviceInstaller.htm'

Quick Start Instructions
------------------------

A. To install the Device Installer software, run the 'Device Installer' installation executable in the 'Device Installer' folder on the CDROM.
B. When the Device Installer software is installed then select 'DeviceInstaller' from the installed applications.
C. If you have installed your SLR200N on your local network then select 'Search' from the 'Device' menu and your SLR200N should appear on
the list of devices, shown as a 'Xport-03' Type Product. (If your SLR200N does not show immediately then try turning it off then on again).

Using the Web Configuration Utility
-----------------------------------
D. Deviceinstaller has the facility to display the Web Configuration Utility.
(But if you wish to use your favourite browser then simply navigate to http://192.168.1.200:80 ).
E. In Deviceinstaller expand and click on the device the in tree view, then select the Web Configuration Tab. Press the 'Go' button.
F. If prompted for a User Name and Password leave them blank and Press 'Ok' to continue (The Default Username/Password is blank).
G. When the 'Xport Device Server Configuration Manager' screen is shown then proceed as follows.

H. Select 'Network'.
I. The network settings screen allows you specify the method the SLR200N will use to obtain a IP address on a network
This can be either a manually assigned IP or one selected automatically using DHCP etc. (The default IP address is: 192.168.1.200)
J. Click on the 'OK' button to close this screen.

K. Select 'Channel 1 - Serial Settings' and check that the Serial port is setup correctly for AIS by using the following settings:
L. Protocol:    RS232
M. Flow Control:   None
N. Baud Rate:    38400
O. Data Bits:    8
P. Parity:    None
Q. Stop Bits:    1

R. Next choose the 'Pack Control' section and apply the following settings:
S. Enable Packing: Ticked
T. Idle Gap Time:    12 msec
U. Match 2 Byte Sequence: Yes
V. Send Frame Only:    No
W. Match Bytes:     0x0D 0x0A (carriage return / Line Feed)
X. Send Trailing Bytes:    None
Y. Click on the 'OK' button to save the settings.

Z. Next select the 'Channel 1 - Connection' section and apply the following settings:
AA. Ensure the protocol is set to 'TCP'
AB. Set 'Active Connect' to 'With Any Character'

AC. Select the 'Endpoint Configuration' section and apply the following settings:
AD. Set the 'Remote Port' to the remote port on your Server that you want the SLR200N to connect to.
AE. Set the 'Remote Host' to the remote IP address of your Server that you want the SLR200N to connect to.
AF. Click on the 'OK' button.
AG. Click on 'Apply Settings' to update and Reboot the device.
AH. The SLR200N will now attempt to connect to your Server and forward received AIS data.
