Having trouble setting up NOMAD AIS to work. RayMarine chart plotter is not showing the unit. So I do not know what I need to get it working. I have plugged it into my laptop, WiFi is working, Data is flashing yellow. Power is on with green light. Now what do I do?
NOMAD AIS set up with new name and configuration
- Thread starter Wicked Wanda
- Start date
It is only connected to my laptop with a USB cable and portable antenna. It shows AIS on my chart plotter (Ray Marine E80) with a red X across it. I don't see anywhere else to plug in the USB for power or another outside antenna.
From the Manual:
It may not be possible for your CP to read the data. Contacting Digital Yacht may be your best best.

Welcome Wicked…
If you are game I would be pleased to share some support, beyond suggesting you read the manual or call support.
Having looked at the manual, I am not sure you will be able to see AIS on the RayMarine CP directly. There does not appear to be a direct connection protocol for the two units.
The Nomad unit is designed to work with a laptop/pc computer. In order to set the unit up you will need the software that DigitalYacht provides.
From the Manual: Before you start
You will need the following items and tools to complete the installation:
• NOMAD Class B AIS Transponder.
• VHF/AIS antenna and cable – supplied
• A USB power source i.e 12v to USB power adaptor, USB power pack, etc.
• 2x Velcro Strips (supplied) or 4x M4 screws (not supplied) or other fixings appropriate to the mounting location.
To configure the unit you will need:
• An MMSI number for your vessel
• A PC running Microsoft Windows XP®/Vista® /7/8/10 or Mac OSX with a free USB port.
• proAIS2 Class B+ AIS Transponder configuration software – Windows and Mac versions of the software are
available for download from our “Online CD” at Digital Yacht Software+Drivers CD
OR
• An Android Phone/Tablet and a copy of our free AISConfig App which is available from the Google Play Store...
