The Smart Multiplexer can transmit wireless NMEA data using two
different network modes; either TCP (single device connection)
which is the default mode or UDP (multiple device connection).
•
Using UDP mode, can be configured in the smart web interface.
•
Once your mobile device is wirelessly connected to the Smart
Multiplexer, open the navigation application that accepts NMEA
data over a TCP or UDP connection and setup the connection.

4. Normal Operation
The Smart Multiplexer consumes around 0.1 Amp and can be left on
whenever the boat is sailing. Every time NMEA data is received, the
yellow data LED will flash. In some systems with lots of NMEA data, it is
not unusual for the yellow LED to be constantly flickering.
If you have a problem connecting wirelessly to the Smart Multiplexer,
press and hold the Reset button for 1-2 seconds and try connecting
again. In busy marinas with high levels of wireless activity, getting a
reliable connection to the Smart Multiplexer may be difficult, but once
underway (at sea) a strong and reliable connection will be achieved.
