Voyage Recorder PC Software update / October 24, 2017.Update v1.07 for USB, Wi-Fi and NMEA 0183 gateways / October 30, 2017.To learn more about NMEA 2000 Bridge, see this page. To learn more about the Wi-Fi Gateway, see the product page. The Wi-Fi signal can be masked out and loss of the connection (despite low probability) should be considered. It provides a reliable wired connection between two networks and is preferable inĭemanding applications. We also wish to draw your attention to our NMEA 2000 Bridge product. In this case, you can switch servers of both gatewaysįrom RAW to NMEA 0183 protocol and set up "White" filter with "DPT" value (NMEA 0183 sentence for Depth).

It looks easy, but we know that many of our customers are not familiar with NMEA 2000 but rather with NMEA 0183. In this case, the first gateway will transmit water depth only. To reduce the traffic in the second network, you can configure the "Transmit" filter for the "RAW" protocol of the first gateway server to "White" type and set 128267Īs the value (Figure 2), this is the message number (PGN) of "Water Depth" messages. This will reduce the traffic in first network but not at second one. On first gateway to "Transmit Only" from "Both", and to "Receive Only" on the second gateway. The signal of the Wi-Fi router usually is strongerĪnd it allows extension of the range but usually it is not required.īut what if you need only to get the depth data from the first network on the second? There is no reason to flood both networks. If you already have a Wi-Fi network on the boat, you can configure both gateways as clients of the existing network. on the "Wi-Fi Access Point" page of the first gateway, tick "Make the network hidden" and click "Change Access Point settings".įrom now on, to connect to your network from a laptop or smartphone you will need to choose "Other network." (or something like that) and type its name manually.on the "Wi-Fi Client" page of the second gateway, specify the network name in the "Other" field and click "Connect!".If your gateways are used as extenders only, it may be good idea to make the network invisible and hide it from other devices to prevent unwanted connections: Congrats, you joined three NMEA 2000 networks! All is done as for the second above but use the next IP address, 192.168.4.101. Now we'll show how you can tune your settings.įirst, you can add a third gateway. Voila!īe sure that everything works so that you are able to see data from first network in the second one and vice versa.

Open the same page on the first gateway ( ) and configure any server the same as above. Gateway ( ) and configure any server to use "UDP" network protocol, "RAW" data protocol and port 1459 in "Both" directions (see Figure 1). For example, open the "NMEA Server" page on the second To pair the gateways, you need to set up both using UDP protocol and set the same port number.

connect to the "MyBoat" network and open to check your settings.

#Nmea 2000 network setup password#

scan for Wi-Fi networks and choose "MyBoat", specify the password and click "Connect!" button.

click the "Save" (not "Save and apply") button in the "IP Address Settings".

in the "IP Address Settings" section, choose "Static IP" and set the IP address to 192.168.4.100, net mask 255.255.255.0, and gateway address 192.168.4.1.

open the "Wi-Fi Client" page on the administrative web site.

turn on the gateway and connect to "YDWG" Wi-Fi network.

connect to the "MyBoat" network to check your settings.Ĭonnect the second gateway and configure it to act as a "Wi-Fi" client:.

change the default network name (SSID) "YDWG" to anything else, for example, to "MyBoat".

open "Wi-Fi Access Point" on the administrative web site ( ).

connect to the "YDWG" Wi-Fi network via mobile or laptop.

turn on the gateway, the second gateway must be off.

With the factory settings, the gateway creates a Wi-Fi network with "YDWG" SSID (network name) and has the IP address 192.168.4.1. Both protocols can be used to set up a bridge between two NMEA 2000 networks. Wi-Fi gateways support RAW protocol, which transfers all NMEA 2000 messages (including proprietary), and NMEA 0183 protocol (NMEA 2000 data areĬonverted to/from NMEA 2000). NovemHow to set up a pair of Wi-Fi Gateways as a NMEA 2000 wireless bridgeĪ pair of Wi-Fi gateways can act as a NMEA 2000 wireless extender and allows joining of two or more physical networks.īenefits: saving on cables, reducing number of holes in bulkheads, unbeatable galvanic isolation, traffic filtering to reduce load on networks.
