1 Introduction
The purpose of this guide is to provide equipment-specific information to assist users in managing their AVCS ENC holdings.
This guide should be used in conjunction with the AVCS User Guide, as well as the ECDIS Operators Manual or other
documentation as supplied by the equipment manufacturer.
The actual instructions and screenshots in this guide are based on the version of the eGlobe G2 Series ECDIS installed in the
UKHO as detailed on the front cover. There may be minor differences between certain models (i.e. screen layouts may vary).
2 Data Management
eGlobe G2 works with different combinations of hardware. This can be either non-touchscreen in combination with a hardware
keyboard (incl. trackball) or a touchscreen unit. The touchscreen option can be disabled or enabled via the Settings Tab on
the Main Menu, Input box and by ticking or unticking the Use Touchscreen Settings option.
This User Guide is mainly aimed at the touchscreen version of the eGlobe software. Unlike other ECDIS systems, the eGlobe
G2 ECDIS does not require a dongle with a license key. If multiple eGlobe G2 ECDIS Units are installed on a Vessel or onshore (i.e. Master and Back Up ECDIS), the same licensing data (i.e. S63 User Permit Number) is shared by all Units. Chart
collection maintenance actions, such as the installation of new AVCS ENCs, have to be done just on one workstation (i.e.
Back Up ECDIS workstation) and once accepted on that station, all changes are automatically distributed to all other eGlobe
G2 workstations on the network. Therefore it is recommended to keep all eGlobe G2 workstations in Navigational Mode and
perform ENC installations/updates on one selected workstation.
When the eGlobe ECDIS is first switched on, users get to the following Home screen where they can select the option needed
to operate their system. All electronic chart licensing and data management operations are carried out through the Navigation
Mode Tab on the Home screen of the eGlobe G2 ECDIS:
Users then need to select Chart Loader from the Menu on the Home screen:
Note: For easier use of the eGlobe G2 ECDIS, this Menu can be moved to the Left or Right Hand
side of the screen (Menu: Settings>Display Box>Select Left Handed or Right Handed)
Note: Large collection installation/Updates (i.e. for PAYS) may be quite time consuming. In the
eGlobe G2 ECDIS, it is not necessary to leave the Planning Mode or Sailing Mode for Chart
Collection Maintenance. Once Chart maintenance action is started, you may return to Planning
Mode or Sailing Mode and the Chart Maintenance related process (i.e. ENC installation/Update)
will continue automatically in the background as it does not require any user interaction except final
acceptance of installation/update results.
Note: The Chart Loader Tab on the Menu turns yellow whenever the ECDIS Chart Collection
requires some attention (i.e. Charts are not up to date, AVCS ENC permits are expired or expiring
within next 30 days, ENCs are licensed but NOT installed).
Note: In Chart Loader, select the Settings Tab to adjust Chart Loader settings to your weekly
import routines for ENC Updates and new ENCs (i.e. FTP download, External Media)
A Confirmation window will then appear to confirm the deletion of the selected Chart(s). Click Yes.
The selected Chart Permit and Data will then disappear from the Chart Inventory Chart List
Note: If at the bottom of the Chart Inventory screen, the Not Installed option is ticked, the previously deleted Chart(s) will
remain on the List appearing on the screen. The deleted Chart(s) will only disappear from the Installed Chart List if ticked.
A Confirmation window will then appear to confirm the deletion of the selected Chart(s). Click Yes.
The selected Chart Permit and Data will then disappear from the Chart Inventory Chart List
Note: If at the bottom of the Chart Inventory screen, the Not Installed option is ticked, the previously deleted Chart(s) will
remain on the List appearing on the screen. The deleted Chart(s) will only disappear from the Installed Chart List if ticked.
In Chart Loader, select Chart Loading and then click on Scan Drives. The ECDIS will automatically scan for the
Permits to be installed
2.
Tick the Permit Box on the following window appearing on the screen
3.
Select OK
As soon as the installation is confirmed, the system will display the progress bar plus related messages.
The status indicator
will show the interim results of the installation if the system detected any errors. The
indicator will change to yellow in case some errors were detected during data import. The number of errors is displayed, too.
Should critical errors be detected the indicator will change to red, and the affected data will not be imported.
The message window will display relevant messages. All messages and actions are recorded in the report file which is
accessible via the button Show Report.
The eGlobe G2 ECDIS also gives users the option of downloading their data directly from the Chartworld FTP Server. To use
this facility, the ECDIS needs to be linked to the Chartworlds FTP Server prior to starting the download and the Update from
Chartworld Server (FTP) needs to be ticked in the Chart Loader, Settings window. The eGlobe G2 ECDIS is delivered
customised with pre-configurations allowing users to use this FTP Server. This needs to be organised directly with the ECDIS
Manufacturer.

13 Systems Checks
The user has the option to review the status of all installed ENCs on the eGlobe G2 ECDIS.
Generate Report for Complete Report of all activities
Menu: Chart Loader Reports Generate Report Export to File Manager on Integrator Menu

Note: For safety and security reasons, the eGlobe G2 ECDIS is designed to block access to the Hard Drive. Therefore users
cannot save Reports to the Hard Drive of their system. The Reports can only be saved to an external location (i.e. USB Key,
CD, DVD).
Now select the source location where this Report is to be saved (i.e. USB Key, CD, DVD). Once the source is selected, the
Report will be transferred to the right hand column on the screen. To save further Reports to this source location, simply click
on the left arrow. As the source location is already recognised, when selecting a new Report and then clicking on this left
arrow, the new Reports will automatically appear on the right hand side column.
The Report will then appear within the files of your external source location (i.e. USB, CD, DVD).
Menu: Chart Loader Chart Inventory Highlight Chart Keep pressing Chart on screen Review Updates from
Drop down Menu
Note: As a reminder, the Chart Loader Tab on the Menu turns yellow whenever the ECDIS Chart Collection requires some
attention (i.e. Charts are not up to date, AVCS ENC permits are expired or expiring within next 30 days, ENCs are licensed
but NOT installed).
