5.3 Network configuration
The Coast Station must be configured with various network settings so that received AIS data can be correctly
routed to the required destination. The Coast Station is configured through a web browser in a similar way to
routers and other network devices.
Configuration can be carried out either before or after installation, however it is recommended the Coast Station
is configured and tested before deployment in a remote location to ensure the network settings are correct.
During network configuration the PC used to configure the Coast Station must be disconnected from other
networks. The PC used to configure the Coast Station should be set to automatically assign IP addresses.
5.3.1
Configuration connections
●
Connect the supplied mains power adapter to the Coast station and switch on the power. The power
indicator will illuminate.
●
Connect the supplied Ethernet cable between the front panel Ethernet connector (marked 'CONFIG')
and a PC or laptop. Other network connections to the PC or laptop must be disabled at this point.
5.3.2
Accessing the Coast Station configuration interface
●
Open a web browser on the PC or laptop and enter the default IP address (192.168.16.254) for the
Coast Station in the address bar.
●
When prompted for a username and password enter “admin” for both. The configuration username
and password can be changed during configuration if required using the options in the ‘Management
menu’.
●
Access to the configuration interface is now available in the web browser. The initial menu and status
screen will be as shown in Figure 7.

Configuring the operating mode
The following steps will configure the Coast Station to forward all received AIS data to a remote server. The
server must have a static IP address and the port number for AIS data delivery must be known.
After configuration the Coast Station will automatically attempt to connect to this IP address. If the connection
is lost due to network issues the Coast Station will attempt automatic reconnection.
The basic operating mode of the Coast Station network interface must first be configured:
