BOATraET Quick Start Guide
•
BOATraNET has two COM Ports which are pre-configured as;
o
COM 1 = 38,400 Baud Rate NMEA 0183 V2.00 or higher
o
COM 2 = 4,800 baud rate NMEA 0183 V2.00 or higher
•
To connect a remote power switch for the BOATraNET, at another location in the boat, simply remove the white
wire from the red wire and connect the white wire to the ship’s supply (+12v or +24v) via a SPST toggle switch as
shown below.
•
To connect NMEA devices to the BOATraNET you can connect them directly to the two COM port wires in the
Power/IO cable. A couple of typical examples are shown below;
•
It should be noted that the NMEA 0183 outputs from BOATraNET are not currently supported and no data is
output. NMEA data output is planned for a future software release.
•
Basic Installation is now complete.
4. Powering Up
Once all devices are correctly connected to the BOATraNET apply 12v or 24v power to the unit by switching the circuit
breaker ON and/or turning on the remote toggle switch (if fitted). After a few seconds, BOATraNET will start to power up
as indicated by the green illuminated Power Switch LED lighting up. It takes approximately 30 seconds for BOATraNET to
fully power up and create a wireless hotspot.

After approximately 30 seconds, using your laptop or wireless device, scan for wireless networks and look for one
