DIGITAL YACHT iKConnect Installation And Instruction Manual Download Page 4

Installation Step 3 

The  following  steps  only  need  to  be  followed  if  you
are  connecting  the  iKConnect  to  a  Digital  Yacht
WL70 long range Wi-Fi Adaptor.

Using its integrated USB cable, plug the WL70 in to
the USB socket on the front of the iKConnect.

The WL70 is only detected during power up and we
do not currently support “hot plugging” of the WL70
whilst  the  iKConnect  is  powered  up.  Therefore
always  plug  and  unplug  the  WL70  whilst  the
iKConnect is powered off.

Installation Step 4 

The following steps only need to be followed if you are
connecting  the  iKConnect  to  another  wired  network
device, like the Digital Yacht iKommunicate gateway.

Connect the supplied RJ45 network  cable between the
network  device’s  Ethernet  socket  and  the  iKConnect’s
“RJ-45 LAN Port” socket.

Installation Step 5 

Now that we have all of the connections made, we can
apply power to the iKConnect

As the iKConnect powers up the LEDs on the top side
of the unit will briefly illuminate and then only the Power
LED will stay illuminated.

As the iKConnect initialises and configures itself, the
WPS button will flash for about 15 seconds and after
that stops the iKConnect should be fully powered up
and ready to be used.

During normal operation, the Power and WPS LEDs will
be illuminated and also the LAN, USB, WAN and WLAN
LEDs if you have devices connected to these ports.

As network traffic is transmitted/received on any of the network ports, the relevant LED will flash.

On the following page, is a typical network diagram showing how the iKConnect can be used as the wireless
router on the boat.
