AIS receiver to USB mutiplexer

Allo

Can someone tell me if I can do this.

I want to connect AIS receiver SR 161 Version 1.2E
RS232 38400 bauds serial port, Data bit :8,Parity:none,Stop bits:1
(pin3=in, pin5=gnd,pin2=out)

TO: ShipModul Miniplex- 41USB NMEA-0183 multiplexer
My ThinkPad have USB port only

The CP175C Chart plotter can show coordinate of DSC
Do you think the Chart plotter do the same with AIS ?

Best Regards
Gilles Ethier

You cannot do that, the inputs of the MiniPlex-41USB are all fixed to 4800
baud.
What you can do is to use a MiniPlex-Lite. This multiplexer has one
autosensing input, that automatically switches between 4800 and 38400.

I see you are from Canada, you might contact our Canadian distributor
www.wiredboat.com. They should stock them.

I don't know the answer to that.
