CONFIGURATION USING PROATON SOFTWARE 

The configuration software supplied on the CD will be used to adjust the MTU-AIS transponder 
to be configured and tested. 
 
The main functions are: 

 

Configuration of essential parameters such as MMSI, name, type and dimensions. 

 

Setting the emission frequency of a Real Aton. 

 

Virtual or synthetic Aton broadcast frequency configuration. 

 

GPS test and diagnosis. 

 

General test and diagnosis of the System with alarm indication. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

5.1.

 

PROAtoN INSTALLATION 

The proAtoN software must be installed from the supplied CD. 

1.

 

Insert the CD into your laptop. 

2.

 

Navigate to the proAtoN folder on the CD. 

3.

 

Choose the installation in Spanish or English and start the installation. 

4.

 

Follow the on-screen instructions to view to complete the installation. 

 
The  installation  of  the  proAtoN  performs  the  installation  of  the  USB  drivers,  as  well  as  the 
configuration program required for the connection to the MTU-AIS. 
 

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

 

 

Configurations saved with a certain version of proAtoN software can only serve as templates for future 
configurations if the proAtoN software version is the same.
