WiFi Station mode
This allows your router to handle the data and traffic from your device. This data can then be picked
up through your router anywhere on your local area network. Similar to plugging the device directly
into the router by wire, but instead using wireless technology.
This allows your main mobile device to still receive internet and for you to be able to view the data.
To begin using station mode the Quark-elec instrument should be attached to a computer running
windows (for Mac user’s windows boot camp) via USB.
1. Connect A012 to computer via
Micro USB B connection.
2. Run the Configuration tool and
check connection to A012 at
the bottom of configuration
tool.
3. Change working mode to
‘
Station mode’
4. Enter
your router’s
SSID.
5. Enter the
password
for your
network.
6. Enter the
IP address
you want
to assign to the A012. Start
with 192.168. The third group
of digits depends on your
router’s configuration
(Commonly 1 or 0). The fourth
group must be a unique
number between 0 and 255.
This number must not be used
by any other equipment connected to your router.
7. Enter your
router’s IP address
in the
Gateway
section. This can usually be found under the router.
Leave the other settings as they are.
8.
Click ‘
C
onfig’
in the bottom right hand corner and wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds Click
‘
Disconnect’
.
9. Repower your A012. The A012 will now attempt to connect to your router.
10. In
your chart software
set the protocol as ‘
TCP
’
Insert the
IP address
you assigned the A012
Enter the Port number as ‘
2000
’ in the chart software.
You should now be connected and see A GPS targets on your chart software.
If not then check your router’s
IP address list
and check the
IP address
that your router has given
your A012.
Occasionally, a router assign a different
IP address
to a device than the one you chose to assign it
during Configuration. If this is the case, copy the
IP address
from the router into your chart software.
If the
IP address
in your router’s
IP address list
is the same as the one you input into your chart
software then everything will work in station mode. If you are unable to see any data repeat the steps,
and check all the data has been input correctly.
If you are not able to view your data in Station mode, the likely cause is either the data has been input
incorrectly, or the IP address is different in your chart software to that of your router.
