Quick Start Guide for AISNETSP VR 1.00
4. Network Configuration
This Quick Start Guide assumes the reader has experience of setting up a PC network. If you have an unusual network
configuration or need further assistance to setup your AIS Base Station please contact
Most Small Office or Home (SoHo) networks will
have a wireless router that is either connected to a
“Broadband Modem” or has an ADSL telephone
router built-in. A
“Broadband Modem” refers
generically to any of the common broadband
internet connections i.e. cable modem, ADSL,
DSL, ISDN, 3G or even satellite connection.
The most common setup is for the Router to
assign IP addresses to the devices that connect to
it using DHCP. If this is how your network router
operates, then the settings detailed in this
document will work. If your network has static IPs,
then you will need to allocate an unused IP
address for the Base Station.
Configuring the AISNet Network Settings
Download and install the latest AISNet Configuration Tool (from the Digital Yacht website). When you run this program,
you should see the window shown in Fig 1. Click the “search” icon and the program will search for the AIS Base Station.
After the search is complete, you should see the Mac Address of the AISNet in the top of the Module List
– see Fig 2.
