The unit can also act as an AIS/GPS receiver only if MMSI and specific boat data is not available.

Configuration

Nomad 2 has a built-in web interface. The configuration of the transponder can be done through a computer, a tablet or even a smartphone and most importantly, no software is required.

You can configure the Nomad 2 through its own simple web interface, just open your web browser, enter the Nomad 2’s IP address and you can configure the vessel details (MMSI number, Boat name, etc.), network name, password and even merge the AIS’s WiFi to an existing WiFi network on board.  So no complicated programming software or app required.

You can even view the received NMEA data in the web browser, for easy fault finding of issues. Finally, the Nomad 2 supports TCP and UDP network protocols for maximum compatibility with apps.
