[CA] [CA11] Using proAIS2 with AIS500 transceiver

[dantos]

Chuck, I did finally get this to work, and figured I'd pass along the steps I followed:

1 Download and use ProAIS
2 Connect laptop to the AIS transceiver, using an RS232 to USB cable - make sure the AIS unit and laptop are turned off
3 Turn on the laptop
4 Start the ProAIS app
5 Click "connect" - and error message will indicate it can not find the AIS unit
6 Turn Raymarine AIS unit on
7 Click "Connect", and the ProAIS application will find the AIS unit
8 Change data and save

While it might be different for others, this exact sequence worked for em.
