USB Connection
The iKonvert Gateway (USB) has an integral 1m USB cable allowing it to be easily plugged in to any computer with a
spare USB type A socket. Before connecting the iKonvert Gateway to the PC, it is necessary to install the USB drivers.
The exact procedure varies between the different types of Operating Systems that exist for PCs, but the following section
details the procedure for the popular operating systems;
Windows XP
On the
Digital Yacht Software and Drivers CD
, there is a folder called “USB Drivers for AIS units” which contains the
drivers required for the iKonvert Gateway
. Double click on the “USB Driver Setup” program and make sure that a DOS
Command window opens and a series of commands are executed
– normally takes 10-15secs to complete.
Once the program has finished, insert the cable of the iKonvert Gateway
in to a spare USB port and the Windows “Found
New Hardware” wizard should briefly appear while the PC completes the installation.
You may need to enter the Windows Device Manager to find out what COM Port the Gateway has been allocated by
Windows. In the Device Manager, the iKonvert Gateway should appear in the
Ports COM & LPT
section as a “USB Serial
Port (COMx)” where x = the COM Port number allocated by Windows to the Gateway. This is the COM port number that
you will need to enter in your Navigation Software to tell it where to get the NMEA2000 data from.
For more information on the Device Manager, visit our blog at
and search for Device Manager. You
should then be able to see an article called “Managing the Device Manager” that explains this process.
Windows Vista/7/8/10
The easiest way to install the drivers on these operating systems, is to plug the iKonvert Gateway in to your PC when you
have a good internet connection. Windows will see the new hardware and automatically search online for the latest
drivers, download them and then install them. The whole process takes about 2-3 minutes and is completely automatic.
If you are on the boat and do not have an internet connection, then insert the
Digital Yacht Software and Drivers CD
in
to your PC and browse to the folder called “USB Drivers for AIS units” which contains the drivers required for the iKonvert
Gateway. Right click
on the “USB Driver Setup” program and select the option “Run as administrator”.
