iii VALIDITY OF THIS DOCUMENT
This manual is valid for the web based remote control and monitoring interface of the
R60 Station, with following part numbers:
7000 120-203, R60 Receiving Station
7000 120-204, R60 AtoN Station
7000 120-200, R60 VDES Base Station –Standard
7000 120-201, R60 VDES Base Station –Full
Above products are based on the same hardware, 7000 120-100 R60 VDES Base
Station HW, and common software, with different extent of licence-controlled
functionality that looked to the R60 units’ serial number.

1INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the web-based remote control graphical user interfaces (GUI)
for an R60 Station unit.
The R60 Station is equipped with two different Ethernet based service interfaces.
-Configuration and Monitoring Web Interface (Provides VDES monitoring and
configuration functionality see section 3.3)
-R60 Supervisor Web Interface (Provides R60 supervision and configuration
functionality see section 3.4)
The usage of this interface is intended for personnel with knowledge about the VDES
system (including AIS) and how a AIS/VDES station handles the VHF data link (VDL).
Note that the parameters set in a AtoN/Base station must be coordinated with other
nearby AtoN/Base stations. Uncoordinated base stations and improper parameters
may cause problems on the VDL link. Base station settings might also be subject to
national legislation or international treaties.
General information about VDES base stations can be found in references Ref [2] - Ref
[8].
Besides the web page GUI there is also a limited graphical user interface available on
the front of the R60, for convenient configuration of IP communication ports etc.
For detailed information about physical capabilities of the R60 unit, the reader of this
manual should also have access to the SAAB R60 VDES Base Station Installation
Manual (Ref [1]).
The Saab Group homepage www.saab.com provides more information about Saab, the
coastal surveillance system MARITIMECONTROL/CoastWatch as well as other
AIS/VDES-related products from Saab.
1.1 Document orientation
This user manual is divided into the following sections:
Section 1, Introduction, generally describes the R60 Station from SAAB. This section
also presents references.
Section 2, Front Panel, general information of how to use the front panel.
Section 3, Getting started,contains further introduction of R60 variants, instructions
for how to connect to and access a R60 station via the web GUI and also how to
navigate the web GUI.
A step-by-step procedure how to set up a R60 Station is also provided.
Section 4, HW/SW Info, contains information about the versions of unit components
and also licensing and licensed features.
