[LW] [LW11] AIS 700 software update

[peter.jellinghaus@gmail.com]

Dear Louise,
I am using an AIS 700 (software v 1.03) with the old C 70 Series MFD (newest software version from 2012) via NMEA 0183 since one year. Firstly it worked well but now I mostly have the error “unvalid UTC sync” and other vessels are not shown on the MFD. (My vessel can be seen by others). The AIS 700 shows green LED. The update description of v 1.06 describes exactly the fixture of that error. Because the old C 70 series does not have the lighthouse software, the update cannot be run by micro SDcards via the MFD. The manual of the AIS 700 mentions an update via USB and PC. The update procedure does not describe that way and the update file seems only to content the ISO file for the MFD update procedure. The newest ProAIS2 v1.14 also does not have the feature to update the AIS 700 by USB.
Do you yet provide a software tool to update the AIS 700 via USB and PC or am I forced to send it to the dealer? The provision of an update tool for the end-users was announced in October 2018 in your post.

Peter
