VDL 6000/FASS Advanced
The Advanced configuration has one transponder and embedded controller hardware running unique software from CNS Systems. The shore station can be installed as a single unit providing AIS message logging, remote configuration and software update, virtual and synthetic targets, SNMP, local target filtering, remote power on/off and more. Two shore stations can be locally connected to form a fully redundant installation, where hot-standby operation including cross-wise redundancy transponder/controller between the units provides very high availability.
