Hi Vas,
Software installed on my computer thank you.
Next step is to run up the 600 & drop my configuration onto it.
Thanks for your help

You have any luck with this? I can't get the AIS to connect to my computer. It did it initially for about 60 seconds, then it quit and won't reconnect.

Hi everyone, same as you guys, I try to configure the AIS 600. The software I got recognize it but says 'conection failed'.
If someone could send me a good version, that might help.
Thx

Here's another one with an AIS600 and no software. I have the same error leds (Warning+error) and would like to try and get it running.
Is anyone able to share the setup software and latest firmwar since Garmin seems to have deleted everything....

I take it you are outside of the UK, in which case it's blocked by a firewall, try it now

So, just tried that software, but not succesfully.
Using COM1 @38400baud
Anybody any idea how to reach the Transponder? I have 2 leds, Warning and Error. These leds are there wether I have the GPS antenne (GA38) connected or not. Inside or outside also doesn't make a difference.
Have seen that there have been firmware updates. Since the unit is far from new, could that be the problem? GPS Rollover or somthing like that?
Downloaded a serial port analyser. That gave me these NMEA Messages:
!AIALR,,99,A,V,AIS: Firmware verification failed*06..
!AITXT,1,1,99,AIS: Firmware verification failed*3A
From what I found, looks like an alarm message and an text message

In case anyone finds they need this in future, I have a copy of the software, PM me and I can email it over.
Drivers were a pain, up to date ones are not included with the Garmin software (and Windows was adamant it had the most up to date version already installed but these did not work). I downloaded them from https://ftdichip.com/drivers/ and was able to set the AIS 600 up using a Windows 11 PC.
