How do we connect

In order to connect your AIS system to IALA-NET you need to establish a secure connection between your own system and IALA-NET. This is done suing a so-called PROXY, which is a piece of software designed to connect to IALA-NET in a secure end pervasive manner.

In order to be able to receive data from IALA-NET you need the SUBSCRIBER PROXY.

In order to send AIS data to IALA-NET you need the PROVIDER PROXY.

Here is what you do:

1. Download the proxy’s from ftp.ais.dk/pub/proxy

2. Install the proxy’s on a computer that can connect to you AIS system, for AIS data, and have access to the internet

3. Copy the attached files to the directory you installed the provider/subscriber proxy in (there are a zip file for each, attached)

4. From the computer, with the proxy’s, make sure that you can connect to:

IALAnet server, external addresses (for the provider):

a. 188.64.154.89:25474

b. 188.64.154.89:25473

c. 188.64.154.90:25473

5. From the computer, with proxy’s, make sure that you can connect to: #IALAnet server, external addresses (for the subscriber):

a. 188.64.154.89:25472

b. 188.64.154.89:25471

c. 188.64.154.90:25471

Do some connectivity testing. For example: telnet 188.64.154.89 25473 and so on…

6. Start the provider proxy, and login with the following credentials:

Username: iala-p-XX

Password: XXXXXX

7. On the last tap, on the proxy, called “Provider”

select client mode.

enter the ip address and the port number of you AIS server, able to provide AIS data

check “Auto Connect

click Connect

8. Check to see if we receiving you AIS data: http://iala.ais.dk

9. Start the subscriber proxy, and login with the following credentials:

User: iala-s-es Password: ES4ever

10. Connect to the server running the subscriber port 4001 to receive AIS data

11. The proxyes can be runned from a command line /script, start the clientproxy.exe –h to see the parameters that can includes ports and user credentials.

THE END
