10  Setup of 210 WiFi Navigation Aid System 

 
This system contains a 210-WiFi GPS receiver, a WiFi WPI (Wireless Pilot Interface), a TBA-2 antenna, 
50 feet of antenna cable, cable reel, antenna clamp, and a laptop computer. 

This system is no longer in 

production,  and  is  gradually  being  replaced  in  the  field  by  systems  that  use  Bluetooth 
communication.

10.1  Setup Steps 

In general, the steps are: 
 

1.  Set up the computer and turn it on. You may apply 100-240 VAC power or use the internal laptop 

battery. 
 

2.  Set up the antenna, as described later in this manual. 

 

3.  Connect  antenna  cable  to  DGPS  unit.  Connecting  the  antenna  to  the  DGPS  before  applying 

power ensures that the DGPS unit  provides a position in the shortest possible time. If  you  have 
turned the DGPS unit on without an antenna, turn it off for 10 seconds, connect the antenna, and 
then turn it back on. 
 

4.  Plug in the DGPS to 100-240 VAC, unless it is the 210LB/Battery unit, which is battery-operated. 

 

5.  Set up the WPI as described earlier in this manual. 

 

6.  On the laptop computer, start the Raven navigation software, usually Wheelhouse II (WHII).
