8.2.WiFi Station mode
Station mode WiFi allows the router to handle the data and traffic from the device. This data can then be
picked up through the router anywhere on the local area network. Similar to plugging the device directly
into the router by wire, but instead using wireless technology.
This allows the main mobile device to still receive internet and for users to be able to view the data.
To begin using station mode the Quark-elec instrument should be attached to a computer running
windows (for Mac user’s windows boot camp) via USB.
1. Connect A032 to computer via Micro USB connection.
2. Run the Configuration tool and
check connection to A032 at the
bottom of configuration tool.
3. Change working mode to
‘
Station mode’
4. Enter the router’s
SSID.
5. Enter the
password
for the
network.
6. Enter the
IP address
to assign
to the A032. Start with 192.168.
The third group of digits depends
on the router’s configuration
(Commonly 1 or 0). The fourth
group must be a unique number
between 0 and 255. This number
must not be used by any other
equipment connected to the
router.
7. Enter the
router’s IP address
in the
Gateway
section. This can usually be found under the router.
Leave the other settings as they are.
8. Click ‘
Config’
in the bottom right hand corner and wait about 60 seconds. After 60 seconds Click
‘
Disconnect’
.
9. Repower the A032. The A032 will now attempt to connect to the router.
10.In the chart software set the protocol as ‘
TCP
’
Insert the
IP address
that was assigned the A032
Enter the Port number as ‘
2000
’ in the chart software.
Users should now be connected and see marine data on chart software.
If not, check the router’s
IP address list
and check the
IP address
that the router has given the A032.
Occasionally, a router assigns a different
IP address
to a device than the one chosen. If this is the case,
copy the
IP address
from the router into the chart software. If the
IP address
in the router’s
IP address
list
is the same as the one input into the chart software then everything will work in station mode. If
users are unable to see any data repeat the steps, and check all the data has been input correctly.
If users are not able to view the data in station mode, the likely cause is either the data has been input
incorrectly, or the IP address is different in the chart software to that of the router.
