Users should now be connected and see marine data on chart software.
If not, check the
router’s
IP address list
and check the
IP address
that the router has given the A036.
Occasionally, a router assigns a different
IP address
to a device than the one chosen. If this is the
case, copy the
IP address
from the router into the chart software. If the
IP address
in the
router’s
IP
address list
is the same as the one input into the chart software then everything will work in station
mode. If users are unable to see any data, then repeat the steps above and confirm all the data has
been input correctly.
If users are not able to view the data in station mode, the likely cause is either the data has been input
incorrectly, or the IP address is different in the chart software to that of the router.
4.3.3. WiFi Standby
By setting up the WiFi to Standby, the WiFi module will be disabled. This helps to reduce the power
consumption or may be used when connecting two WiFi enabled devices.
4.4. Connecting Via USB Port
The A036 comes with a USB connector. This connector provides data input and output as standard.
The USB port is also used to configure the A036 and to update the firmware.
This USB connector can be linked directly to a USB port on the PC. It can also be connected to other
mobile devices via an USB OTG (On the Go) connection using the supplied cable.
4.4.1. Windows:
To enable the USB data connection from the A036 to other devices, related hardware drivers may be
needed, dependent on the system requirements. The driver can be found on the CD in the packing box
or be downloaded from https://www.quark-elec.com
The drivers usually install automatically to the device if it is running Windows 10 (non-upgraded
version). The A036 registers itself to the computer as a virtual serial com port. A new COM port will
automatically show up in the device manager after plug in.
