 Setting up the Wireless Network 

 

By default, NavLink2

’ 

creates a wireless Access Point (hotspot) on-board your 

boat.  The  Name  (SSID)  of  the  Access Point 

will  be  “

NavLink2-xxxx

”  where 

xxxx is the unique four digit code of your device. 

 

To connect to the NavLink2 you will need to scan for wireless networks, find 
and select it in the network list and then when prompted, enter the default 
WPA2 password, 

which is “

PASS-xxxx

”, where xxxx is the same, uni

que four 

digit code that is in the hotspot name.  

 

As  soon  as  a  wireless  connections  is  established,  the  Status  LED  will  stop 
flashing and stay permanently ON, whilst a wireless device is connected.

The NavLink2 has a built-in web interface that can be used to configure the 
unit and display the data that it is sending to apps. 

 

Any device, connected to NavLink2, can access its web interface by typing 

http://192.168.1.1

 or 

http://navlink2.local

 

in to its browser’s address bar.
