Only one WIFI-1 may operate as Primary, which determines that the device is acting as DHCP
server. Only one DHCP server may exist on a network at a time.
To use two WIFI-1s as access points simultaneously the unit must initially be connected to
only one unit. Once this unit is set to secondary, a second module may be turned on/
connected, and will automatically default to primary.
Ú
Note:
In a network with only one WIFI-1 and one or more internal wireless modules, the
WIFI-1 should be left in Primary mode. The internal modules do not act as a DHCP server.

Iperf
Iperf is a commonly used network performance tool. It is provided for testing wireless
network performance around the vessel so weak spots or problem areas can be identified.
The application must be installed on and run from a tablet device.
The unit must be running Iperf server before initiating the test from the tablet. On exiting the
page, Iperf automatically stops running.
DHCP Probe
The wireless module contains a DHCP server that allocates IP addresses for all the MFDs, and
Echosounder in a network. If integrating with other devices, such as a 3G modem or satellite
phone, other devices in the network may also be acting as DHCP servers. To make it easy to
find all DHCP servers on a network, dhcp_probe may be run from the Zeus³ Glass Helm. Only
one DHCP device may be operational on the same network at a time. If a second device is
