OVERVIEW
The R400NG is an AIS receiver unit with built in GPS Receiver and Ethernet interface, designed specifically for coastal monitoring of AIS equipped vessels.
Connected to an Ethernet Network and directly or via a Router to a PC running compatible software, AIS data transmitted from ships within range can be displayed on a screen giving a visual interpretation of the traffic within VHF range. The unit can also be mounted at a remote location and AIS data sent over the Internet to a fixed IP address for use on a dedicated server.
The R400NG has been specifically designed for use by the professional market and uses Comar’s well proven and internationally specified high sensitivity dual channel parallel receiver.
Note: this product was previously known as the SLR400NG and SLR200NG
Lantronix: will allow multiple incoming connections, which means the AIS receiver acts as the TCP server that multiple TCP clients connect to. The R400NX and R400NXG has the Lantronix Xport Edge module included. Please see the “Multiple Connection” (TCP) setting below (marked in red).
Please note that this is only possible for incoming connections. If you want to connect your AIS receiver to multiple TCP servers as a client, this cannot be achieved with the R400NX or R400NXG.
You could instead use our R500Ni or R500NGi intelligent AIS receiver. This device includes a Raspberry Pi single board computer and with the right software can handle multiple TCP connections. Please note that the R500Ni does not come with any OS or software and all software will have to be developed by the user.
