Hi - Does anyone have the McMurdo M10/M10W AIS transponder CD that includes the configuration utilities? Specifically, I need the AIS class b configuration program: "mcmurdo_ais_classb_config.exe". I don't have the CD.

Additionally, I need to change the programmed MMSI. There is a partner engineering utility called "mcmurdo m10 engineering configuration tool 1.2". This may only be available to McMurdo service providers -- if so, anyone in Los Angeles that can reprogram the MMSI number for me?

Thank you
Don
 
Pete - Tried that already. The configuration utility is not on their portal/software download page. --
just the firmware updates and AIS viewer. Also, many of the download links are broken (page not found). Also need the engineering utility to update MMSI.

I think you will find that the M10 is simply a rebadged Camino 108....
I use the Camino firmware and configuration tools OK - also, the firmware and utility is much more up to date than that from the McMurdo site.
Link here.. http://www.alltekmarine.com/products_detail.php?bgid=2&gid=41
Not sure about the MMSI reprogramming though... If you find out, can you post here please?
 
Great information - I downloaded the Camino utilities and they look identical to McMurdo's. In fact, the McMurdo software Help - About dialog references Alltek Marine, just like Camino's software. You are spot on - the Camino utilities are more current. Looks like I can use the Camino firmware and config tools. Now to keep looking for a way to change the MMSI. Thanks!!

Very interesting -- I will try that and report back to the group. Also, I spoke with Milltech Marine in Seattle -- they have a service to reprogram the MMSI and experience with the Alltech/Camino/McMurdo units. Either way, I should be good to go.
Thank you, Don

Try looking here... I cannot see if this works, but let us know.

I've just tried that on an M10 I have access to.

The window popped up as promised, and after entering the code it said "The device has been reprogrammed", filled the MMSI box with zeros, and disconnected me. I was very pleased, this could potentially be quite useful to me. But sadly, when I reconnected, the existing MMSI was still there, and still shown as unable to be reprogrammed.

The pop-up window says you need to send your MMSI to a distributor to obtain the necessary code, and the code in the PDF (2367) looks like it's been filled in separately. So I would guess that distributors have some software which generates the update code as some function of an MMSI, and when someone contacts them they send back a copy of that PDF with the relevant number filled in. So the PDF on hisse-et-oh will work for the right person's M10, but not mine or the OP's. We'd need to know how they transform an MMSI into a four-digit code.

A quick update -- McMurdo sent me the programs needed:) Hopefully they will fix the links on their website so others can download the tools too. Several McMurdo "partners" offered help to reset the MMSI. Milltech Marine in Seattle offers a reset service. What ended up working for me was simply asking McMurdo for the tools.

Much thanks to everyone who offered suggestions, links to AMEC/Alltech, and tricks to reset the MMSI. It looks like I have everything needed to configure this used McMurdo AIS transponder.

Hi dmac001,

I have the same problem, I need to reprogram a used McMurdo m10.
Could you please share the configuration software ?
You can mail me a link or the files at matsumoto.rgm@gmail.com
