Configuring the NDC-4 for AIS

Configuring the NDC-4 for AIS

We offer the NDC-4 preconfigured for AIS devices (product code: NDC-4-AIS).  This will have "OPTO IN 2" set to communicate at 38400 baud by default and filters applied to this input to prevent the data appearing at "ISO OUT 1" as the large volume of data from AIS devices can quickly 'flood' the standard 4800 baud bandwidth at this output.
