CB2 Manual
4.3
Connecting with Wifi
To connect a mobile device or PC with AIS capable navigation software to the CB2 via WiFi
is dependent on the original set-up of the unit.
4.3.1 With the default WiFi settings
Following a successful configuration, if no specific information is entered, the CB2 will be
visible with the SSID: ACR_AISxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is the serial number.
4.3.2 With Direct Mode set-up
If a SSID and password has been entered and Access Mode selected via the Web based
or Mobile App then the CB2 will be visible to other devices with that SSID. Connect your
device to the CB2 using the previously entered password.
Once the device is connected open the third party software application and use the set-
tings within that program to connect to
IP address 192.168.4.1 port 24000
.
When connected GPS information and AIS target information will be available within that
application.
4.3.3 With Network Mode set-up
If the unit has been set-up originally in Infrastructure Mode with the SSID and password of
an on-board network the CB2 will connect automatically to that network on power up. The
CB2 will be allocated an IP address by the network router. Before you can connect another
device running AIS capable navigation software it will be necessary to access the router
configuration and determine this IP address. The CB2 will show in the router as “Espressif”.
Once the IP address has been determined open the third party software application and
use the settings within that program to connect to the appropriate IP address port 24000.
When connected GPS information and AIS target information will be available within that
application.
!
When restarted it is possible that a router will allocate a different
IP address. For consistent connections use the router configuration
software to set a fixed IP address for the CB2.
