2. USER INTERFACE
2.1. LOGIN
The HMI SW will start automatically after the user interface computer is started. If the serial port
settings are set correctly, the HMI SW immediately communicates with the WAIS Transponder and
automatically initiates the initial queries that request the current setting and status information from
the WAIS Transponder.
2.2. MAIN MENU

The user interface is built upon a number of modules, organized in different option buttons in main
menu (see Figure 1: Main Menu).
Figure 1: Main Menu

In order to protect WAIS Transponder data from unauthorised modification; some modules are
available only to the users with administration rights. So, the content of the application will be
different for users with “Administrator” and “User” rights.
2.3. INDICATORS
Indicators provide functions for monitoring of current system status, and inform operators in case
of any status change. Indicator display is always available on screen, which enables operator to
observe any status change, message reception, mode switching or etc., while there is another
process being done (seeFigure 2: Indicators).

Here are the rules for regional area settings:

It is allowed WAIS Transponder to store up to 8 regional area settings, and this HMI SW
module displays only these stored ones.
If there is 8 regional area settings stored and no free memory location in WAIS Transponder;
the most distant regional operating setting will be replaced by the newly added one.
If the nearest boundary of a regional operating area of any stored regional operating setting
is more than 500 NM away from the current position of own vessel, or if any stored regional
operating setting is older than 24 hours; this regional operating setting will be automatically
erased from WAIS Transponder memory and so from the list of “Regional Areas” module.
If the regional operating area of a newly added regional operating setting overlaps in part or
in total of one or more older regional operating areas; the older ones will be erased. If the
new one is manually added by the operator, a warning message will be displayed and the
process will be completed after operator confirmation.
If the operator has administrator authorization, it is possible to update manually created
regional settings by double-clicking on the list item. It is allowed to change Channel A/B
numbers, Transition Zone, Tx Mode and Tx Power settings, using the update menu (see Figure

can be used in different scenario definitions later on.
2.16.5. Definition of a Scenario

When there are some pre-defined fake ship and route files, it is possible to create a scenario by
handling fake ship / route assignment. Here are the steps:
- Firstly, a new scenario file shall be created by opening “Scenario” sub-menu and pressing
“New” button.
- Then, a fake ship file (.std) shall be selected by clicking on “ Select Fake Ship ” labeled text
box.
- Similarly, a route file .rou shall be selected by clicking on “ Select Route ” labeled text box.
When “Assign” button is pressed, selected route is assigned to selected fake ship definition
and this assignment is viewed in below list.

- It is possible to set different startup time to each fake ship by setting “Start Time Offset”
value. By default, it is set to zero for all; which means, fake ships start movement at the same
time, whenever the scenario starts running. If it is set to any value different from zero, this
fake ship is included in this scenario after waiting for that entered time.
- After completing all definitions, integrity check should be done by pressing Check button. In
this way, all inconsistencies are listed, if exist.
- If integrity check result is OK, it is possible to preview scenario data on the map, using Preview
control buttons (see Figure 89100).
- All data should be saved in a scenario file (.sce) using Save/SaveAs button and in this way this
file can be activated, whenever it is needed.
