4.10.2 Upgrading the unit firmware
If a Micro SD card that contains valid upgrade firmware is inserted into the card
socket, the unit will recognize the new firmware and will display a message
asking you if you want to install it. The system will guide you to the appropriate
menu screen, where the firmware update can be applied.
4.10.3 Logging ports to the Micro SD card
If a Micro SD card is inserted into the card socket, the AIS transceiver can be
configured to output specific data to the card. This is accessed from the
individual port menu (from the
‘Home’ > ‘System settings’ > ‘Interfaces’ menu.)
If the ‘Log port to SD’ option is set to ‘On’, data will be output from that port to
the Micro SD card, if one is inserted into the card socket. Only one port can be
logged to the Micro SD card at a time.
4.10.4 Saving / Loading settings
From the ‘Home’ > ‘System Settings’ > ‘Advanced’ > ‘Save / Restore settings ’
menu, all system settings and AIS transceiver configuration data can be saved
to the Micro SD card, if one is inserted into the card socket. Settings previously
saved can be restored, thus restoring the AIS transceiver to a previous
configuration.
4.11 WiFi Feature
The AIS transceiver provides features to operate with vessel WiFi networks,
or to create its own network. Access the WiFi menu through
‘Home’ > ‘System
settings’ > ‘Interfaces’ > ‘WiFi’.
4.11.1 Client mode
If client mode is selected, the AIS transceiver will search for available WiFi
networks to connect to. If one is selected a password may be required, and
upon connection the details of the connection will be shown in the bottom right
corner of the screen. Once a WiFi connection is made, the AIS transceiver will
output a range of NMEA0183 sentences over the selected WiFi port to any
connected devices.
