2Pages

The AIS Shore Station – VDL 6000/FASS Advanced fulfills all the requirements of international AIS standards and provides features required for surveillance and management of vessel traffic. It is easily configured to the specific needs of the individual users, with an embedded controller providing extensive processing and logging functions. The included VDL 6000/FASS Advanced software can be upgraded through local or remote access. Configuration and interfaces Two FASS Advanced units can be locally connected and configured to form a redundant FASS installation. The two FASS units provide redundancy if one should fail. The presence of two FASS units and two controllers provides redundancy in cases of FASS component failure. Features AThe SOTDMA technology used interfering with the other unit, faulty unit can be replaced without in the AIS transponder broadtherefore a FASS Advanced can be replaced without anyposition, for within VHF coverage.

The same laptop or a CDTI can also run an electronic chart system to display targets received by the AIS Airborne transponder. The VDL 6000/FASS Advanced base station can be delivered as a single or redundant installation Features VDL 6000/FASS Advanced provides a number of remote functionalities, including Shore Station configuration, software updates, Aids to Navigation targets, repeater functionality, power on/off and more. Other functions are: local logging of AIS messages, local target filtering, replay of AIS data, AIS data catch-up (ensures delivery of data at network congestion or disconnection) and SNMP. Thanks to the integrated design, VDL 6000/FASS Advanced is easily installed and requires minimum space. The MCT provides a graphical view of the VDL link where slot reservations are displayed and the user can configure transmissions from the base station
