If your wireless device has UDP enabled (all units sold since April 2012) or you have enabled this yourself 
by following our Tech Note 00030-2012, then you do not need to find out what IP address your wireless 
product has been given, simply connect your iPhone/iPad/Laptop/etc. to your wireless network and then 
initiate a UDP connection on port 2000. 

All wireless NMEA data connections on your wireless network are totally transparent to other users on the 
network who might be printing a file, accessing the internet, etc. and all normal networking activity can be 
done at the same time as you are receiving NMEA data on the network. 

So now you have a single, password protected wireless network on your boat over which your NMEA data 
can be transmitted and the same network can be used for internet and other networking activities.
