Wifi setup

The NSS evo2 can be veiwed and controlled via an Android or Apple tablet, using the WiFi1
module and GoFree application. Various 3rd party applications can also use the data stream.
The GoFree application should be downloaded from the Android Play Store, or Apple Store.
Navigate to the wifi network connection page on the tablet, and find the 'GoFree Wifi xxxx'
network. If more than one is in range, check which unit is wired to your network by viewing
the 'Access Points' page on the NSS evo2. Connect to the network using the eight character
password printed on the silver label of the GoFree module, which is also available on the
'Access Points' page.
Open the application, the NSS evo2 should be automatically detected. If the NSS evo2 does
not appear, follow on screen instructions. Select graphic icon of display to view - both video
outputs on the NSS evo2 should be available for selection.
The above dialogue will appear on the NSS evo2 display when connection is attempted.
Select 'Yes' for one-time connection, or 'Always' if device is to be remembered for regular
connection.
Devices
When a wifi device is connected, it should appear in the wifi devices list. Selecting 'Always
allow' will mean the device can automatically connect without needing a password each
time. This menu also allows disconnection of devices that no longer require access.
Access Points
This page shows connected GoFree devices, their IP address, and mode.
Mode
When more than one device is connected, only one
may operate as 'Primary' . Primary mode determines
that the device is acting as DHCP server - only one
DHCP server may exist on a network at a time.
To set a device as secondary, the NSS evo2
must initially be connected to only one GoFree module. Pressing 'menu' with the device
highlighted, opens the dialogue that allows setting to secondary. Once completed, a second
module may be plugged in, and will automatically default to primary.
¼ Note:
Use of multiple devices is solely for range extension purposes, and is usually only
required on larger vessels.
