AIS Receiver (COM3) Driver

The AIS Receiver (COM3) driver helps Windows communicate with an Srt Marine AIS receiver over USB, allowing compatible marine software to access the receiver through a serial COM port. It is intended for users connecting an AIS receiver to a PC for vessel monitoring or troubleshooting a receiver that is not being detected.

Key Features

• USB-to-serial communication: Provides the connection needed for compatible applications to receive AIS data from the device.
• COM-port access: Allows marine navigation and monitoring software to select the receiver’s assigned port. Although the device is listed as COM3, Windows may assign a different port on your computer.
• Legacy Windows support: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and system architecture.
• Device recognition: Installing the correct driver can help resolve missing-driver warnings and make the receiver available to supported software.

How to Install AIS Receiver (COM3) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version, whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit, and the receiver’s model or hardware ID. For Windows 10/11 computers, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported; Windows 11 compatibility requires separate confirmation.
2. Select a compatible package. Before starting an AIS Receiver (COM3) driver download for Windows, review the package’s supported hardware and operating systems. If choosing a free download, use a trusted source and check that the files are intended for your receiver.
3. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, then follow the included setup instructions. If there is no installer, use Device Manager’s Update driver option and browse to the extracted driver folder.
4. Connect and verify the receiver. Follow any connection instructions supplied with the package. Open Device Manager, locate the receiver, and check its assigned COM port and device status.
5. Configure your AIS software. Select the same COM port in your application and use the communication settings specified in the receiver’s documentation. Restart Windows if prompted.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses a connection problem or supports a system change. The latest version should match your receiver and operating system—not simply be the newest package available. Before an update, retain the working installer or create a restore point so you can recover if needed.
