7.2. WiFi - Station mode
WiFi is set to ad-hoc mode as standard. Station mode allows your router/access point 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, 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 setup station mode the A033 should be attached to a computer running Windows (Mac users
can use BootCamp) via USB.
1. Connect A033 to computer via Micro USB B connection.
2. Run the Configuration software (having closed any other programs that would access the A033. )
and check connection to the A033 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
A033 will be assignd to the A033. This normally 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 ‘
Config’
in the bottom right hand corner and wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds Click
‘
Disconnect’
.
9. Repower the A033 and it will now attempt to connect to the router.
10.In your chart software set the protocol as ‘
TCP
’
Insert the
IP address
you assigned the A033
Enter the Port number as ‘
2000
’ in the chart
software.
You should now be connected and see your marine data in your chart software.If not then check your
router’s
IP address list
and confirm the
IP address
that your router has assigned the A033.
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 the 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,
please 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.
