4 Recommended standard configuration

Please note the following when planning the installation:
Each DPU contains a computer for the ECDIS software and an independent communication I/O
Interface. The computer or the software for the ECDIS may fail, be rebooted or powered down
without affecting the I/O Interface. When connected properly, each I/O Interface in the cluster is
able to send data to any ECDIS computer in the cluster. With a few exceptions there is no reason to
connect a sensor to more than one port in the cluster. A GPS, Gyro, Speed log or devices that can
provide similar information must connected to all DPU’s for reason of redundancy

ECDIS’s.
5.4 Configuration of USB hardware key

If multiple ECDIS’s are used in a cluster, one of the USB hardware keys must be selected as
primary key. It is the USERPERMIT of this hardware key which will be used for the whole cluster.
We recommend using the hardware key inserted in node 1 (which has the ECDIS master role) as
primary hardware key. Only DM800 ECDIS G2 can be connected in the cluster.
DBS11427-21 Page 31/67

On ECDIS system 1 (node 1) click the [Make primary key] button. After this the remaining
hardware keys in the cluster will adopt the USERPERMIT of the primary key, and make will
automatically be made a secondary key in the cluster.
If charts have been pre-ordered make sure to select as primary key the USB hardware key with the
same USERPERMIT as used when ordering the charts. This will ensure correct operation during
charts import. You can only modify the role of the local hardware key.
Consult DBS11426 “User manual for DM800 ECDIS G2” for further details.
Click on [Finish] and the ECDIS Software will start.

6.5 Vessel Particulars Setup

Configuring operating parameters of the own ship is very important for the correct functioning of
the system. The own ship parameters are configured in the Main Menu  Settings  Vessel 
Vessel particulars  Vessel dimensions and performance characteristics panel. Here you can
configure the performance characteristics of the vessel and set precise location of various devices
onboard.
6.5.1 Conning station position

The position of all sensors is defined relative to the position of the conning station. Also, the
position of the conning station is the starting point of the vessel’s velocity vectors and past track.
1. Go to Main Menu  Settings  Vessel  Vessel particulars  Vessel dimensions and

performance characteristics
2. Many safety functions of the ECDIS are based on the vessel’s draft and height.
Set the following parameters:
 Maximum draft
 Current draft
 Maximum height
3. Position of all sensors is defined relative to the position of the common reference point
(CRP). Position of the CRP is also the starting point of the vessel’s velocity vectors and
past track.
 distance between the conning station and the bow (A)
 distance between the conning station and the stern (B)
 distance between the conning station and the port side (C)
 distance between the conning station and the starboard side (A)
DBS11427-21 Page 40/67

4. Route planning uses vessel performance characteristics such as turn radius, economic
speed, and deviation starboard and port.
 Turn radius – enter a value in the Turn radius field
 Economic speed – enter a value in the Economic speed field
 Deviation starboard – enter a value in the Deviation starboard field
 Deviation port – enter a value in the Deviation port field
5. Press [OK] to apply the settings
Certain ECDIS functions, for example manual observation, require additional information about
measuring devices onboard the own vessel including their precise position, angle and distance
errors. The complete description can be found in DBS11425” User manual for Danelec Marine
ECDIS software”.
6.6 Static Ship and Voyage Data

The following parameters must be configured for the own vessel: ECDIS talker ID, MMSI, ship
name, call sign, IMO number, ship static data, and voyage static data.

the primary GPS device used for positioning the own vessel.
7. Set the DTE indicator switch to the On position to indicate to an application on the
receiving side that the transmitting station conforms at least to the minimum keyboard and
display requirements. If not, set the switch to the Off position.
8. Other parameters are filled with values specified in the MMSI, ship name, call sign, etc.
panel and in the Vessel dimensions and performance characteristics panel.
9. To apply the parameters, press the [Apply] button.
DBS11427-21 Page 42/67

6.7 Initial data installation

Chart and permit installation is usually performed by the end users, but is it good practice to help
the users by performing the initial chart and permit installation.
Please refer to DBS11425“User manual for Danelec Marine ECDIS software” for description and
explanation of how of import IHO-certificate, permit and ENC chart data.
6.8 Displaying of chart data

Newly imported data is turned off by default. To turn it on and display it on the screen do the
following.
1. Go to the Main menu  Nav Data  Chart library
Figure 1 Chart library panel

2. To open a database for display, set the Display switch of the database to the On position:

DBS11427-21 Page 43/67

7 Advanced configuration
Warning: Do not attempt to enable this functional unless you are familiar with IP networks.
7.1 Configuration of access to external data networks
Ethernet port 3 on the DPU may be used to access a local area IP network on the vessel. Ethernet
port 4 may be used to access a general purpose IP network on the vessel.
Note that access to a default gateway is restricted to one external network.
Configuration of Static IP address:

Select “Static ip” in the drop-down and configure the “Address” and “Subnet mask”.
Sub-network 192.168.203.x, 192.168.156.x is used internally by the ECDIS and cannot be used as
external networks.
DBS11427-21 Page 44/67

7.2 Configuration of External Equipment

Two types of external equipment can be configured on this page:
1. IEC61162-450 image output to VDR (or similar equipment)
2. Connection to NavBox for chart updates
7.2.1 IEC61162-450 Image output

The ECDIS supports transmitting a screenshot of the display to a VDR every 15 seconds, in
accordance with IEC61996-1 Ed.2 Appendix E, and the chart information in accordance with
IEC61996-1 Ed.2 Appendix G.
When using the image output it is vital that is configured correctly so as not to disturb the existing
ship network usage.
The settings are:

1. Output interface: The external interface must be enabled for the image output to work.
DBS11427-21 Page 45/67

2. Source SFI: The System Function ID of the ECDIS. This SFI must be unique on the entire
network.
3. Location: The location of the ECDIS. E.g. Starboard ECDIS, Conning ECDIS. The location
must be unique within the ECDIS-class of equipment.
4. Transmission group: IEC61162-450 defined binary re-transmittable transmission group to
be used for transmission.
5. Destination SFI: The system function ID of the VDR (or similar equipment) to receive the
images.
6. Transmission time offset: Offset by which the image should be transmitted. This is to
offload the network. IEC61996-1 Ed.2 defines the following:
1. ECDIS node 1 transmit at time offset 8 seconds
7. Source port: The transmitting port of the ECDIS.
Two types of data are transmitted as different intervals:

3. Screenshots (images) every 15 seconds
4. Chart information whenever new chart cells are displayed, or at least every 10 minutes.
7.2.2 NavBox chart update

It is possible to connect a NavBox to the ECDIS.
The shared path of chart database must be configured for this feature to work. Replace the “????”
with the IP of the NavBox. E.g.: \\192.18.1.1\enc
Please refer to DBS11425 “User manual for Danelec Marine ECDIS software” for details of how
to use the NavBox from the ECDIS software.
DBS11427-21 Page 46/67

7.3 Configuration of virtual data lines via TCP/IP

Data may be received from sensors via TCP/IP using the Ethernet ports on the DPU
The window for setting up local ports must be open. Click on [add …] to create a virtual line for
receiving data.
The ECDIS can both act as a client (the ECDIS is responsible for establishing a TCP/IP connection
to the sensor) or as a server (the sensor is responsible for establishing the connection to the ECDIS).
Note: TCP/IP connections will be disconnected by the ECDIS if no data is received/transmitted for
30 seconds. The ECDIS will, when configured as a client, try to re-establish the connection,
whereas an ECDIS configured as server will wait for the remote client to re-establish the
connection.
Note: It is a prerequisite for this function that one of the external network ports (Ethernet port 3 or
4) is enabled and configured with proper IP address
