PolarCOM will forward any NMEA data including AIS. If you do connect AIS, make sure to un-check "Mux Out" on your GPS NMEA port. Otherwise, AIS messages will be forwarded to that port as well and, if you have a real NMEA system running at original 4800 baud, it could potentially be overwhelmed by AIS Data.
