		You would connect the data cable to a USB adapter such as this one ..
http://www.gpsnavx.com/html/datacable.html 
Once that is done, install the linked FTDI driver, plug in the USB adapter to your Mac and start MacENC.  Select the port USBSerial-XXX, rate 4800 in the GPS panel Settings drawer.  Select "Use GPS Port" in the AIS/RADAR panel Settings drawer.
The AIS1000 will act as both GPS and AIS receiver for MacENC.
