’ with
the default password: ‘
88888888
’.
Chart software:
in your chart software, set the
protocol to ‘
TCP

USING THE CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE (WINDOWS):
WiFi can be changed from Ad-hoc (default) to Station mode or Standby.
Station mode
is configured by inputting your router/access point’s details into the Configuration
software. (once configured, the correct settings must be entered into your chart software.)
Filtering: using the black list function
If desired, selected NMEA sentences can be blocked from chosen input/s, using the ’black list ‘
field. Remove the ‘$’ or ‘!’ from the 5 digit NMEA talker and sentence identifier and insert sepa-
rated by commas. For example to block ‘!AIVDM’ and ‘$GPAAM’ enter ‘AIVDM,GPAAM’ .
Up to 8 sentences types can be filtered from each input port. If blacklisting Seatalk data, block
the corresponding NMEA message (see the manual for a full list of converted messages).
Routing the Seatalk and NMEA sentences.
As a default, all inputs’ data (excluding any filtered data) is routed to all outputs (NMEAx2, WiFi
and USB). Data can be routed to limit the data flow to only certain output/s by un-ticking the
corresponding boxes in the Configuration software.
NMEA Baud rates:
Default Baud rates are set to:
NMEA IN 1 and 2: 4800bps
NMEA IN 3: 38400bps
NMEA OUT 1: 4800bps
NMEA OUT 2: 38400bps
These can be changed as required.
USB input:
The USB connection is 2 way as standard, no additional configuration required. Man-
ual NMEA input via USB is also possible through the configuration software. A good understand-
ing of NMEA sentence structure is required for this additional function.
