[CA] [CA11] AIS 700/ProAIS2/Programming

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Kevin,

We have the ProAIS2 software installed on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 PCs. The key is to ensure that the installer has administrator privileges on the PC when installing the ProAIS2 software. I recommend that a user with such privileges also be logged into the computer when connecting the AIS350/650/700 to the PC for the first time to ensure that the program installs successfully. Should problems persist, then you may want to try temporarily configuring User Account Control Settings to NEVER NOTIFY. To verify that the driver is properly installed,
- plug the USB cable which is connected to the AIS350/650/700 to the computer's USB port
- using the Windows Device Manager, verify that the "AIS CLASS B TRANSCEIVER (COMx)" is listed within the Ports (COM & LPT) device group
run the ProAIS2 application

When running the ProAIS2 application, the "AIS CLASS B TRANSCEIVER (COMx)", where x is the COM port number, will be listed among the available serial COM ports which the application may connect to.
