Checking your station's status

To check your antenna station's status:

• Log in to your Vesseltracker account, hover over your username, click on My Vesseltracker and scroll down to Antennas, or
• Click here to navigate there automatically.

You will see a list of all antenna stations linked to your user account, along with the following information:

• Name of your antenna station
• Internet - whether your station has an Internet connection to the Vesseltracker server
• AIS Data - whether your station has sent AIS data within the last 10 minutes
• Receiver ID - number shown on the device's label
• Last seen - time since the station last sent AIS data to Vesseltracker

Using indicators to solve offline problems

The Internet and AIS Data indicators provide valuable information about your station's status and the likely cause of any problems.

Since we cannot receive AIS data without an Internet connection, our priorities are always to:

1. Establish an Internet connection
2. Confirm that we are receiving AIS data.

	Fully functional station, with Internet connection to the Vesseltracker.com server and AIS data received within the last 10 minutes.	No action required! Your station appears to be working well.

	We haven't received any AIS messages in the last 10 minutes, but the yellow check mark indicates that the station is in a region with low vessel activity and low AIS data.	We don't suspect any technical problems, but if you want to be certain, you can check your antenna and cable connections.
