• Electrical isolation of data lines (minimum 3,750V) DISCLAIMER Use the NTWB2 entirely at your own risk. The NTWB2 is an electronic device and as with all electronic devices could malfunction or stop working entirely at any time. Madman Marine Pty Ltd will not be held liable for any consequential loss, damage or injury in any way connected with the use of the NTWB2 WiFi Bridge.
It is not necessary to use the NTWB2 Configuration app if the NTWB2 is to operate in AP Mode. The app must be used to set the SSID and password of an existing WiFi network if the NTWB2 is to be operated in Join Mode. Refer to the NTWB2 Configuration app manual for further details.
If no data is being received on any of the NMEA inputs the NMEA In 1, NMEA In 2 and WiFi Data LEDs will periodically flash in sequence to indicate the fact that the NTWB2 is powered up but no data is being received.
The NTWB2’s output data rate is unrelated to the rate set for Input 2. 7 WIFI OPERATION 7.1 Overview The NTWB2 can operate in two WiFi modes: AP (Access Point) mode or Join Mode. The WiFi mode is selected using DIP switch 3 (OFF = AP Mode, ON = Join Mode). ...
WiFi Status LED will be flashing. To connect a WiFi device such as a phone, tablet or PC, look for the NTWB2’s SSID (Madman xxxx) in the list of available WiFi networks in your device’s WiFi settings. Select the NTWB2 network and enter the NTWB2’s AP mode password.
The Join Mode port can be changed using the NTWB2 Configuration app. 7.4.3 Connecting to Networks in Join Mode After successful power up in Join mode the NTWB2 the red WiFi Status LED will be flashing and the NTWB2 will attempt to connect to the WiFi network broadcasting the configured SSID.
8 INSTALLATION 8.1 Overview The NTWB2 must be installed in a location that is clean, dry and not subject to high humidity or extremes of temperature. For optimum performance it should be located such that there are as few obstructions as possible between it and the WiFi devices to which it will communicate.
Connect +12V to either of the terminals labelled ’12 V’. The 12V supply should be provided from a switch or circuit breaker to switch it off the NTWB2 when it is not needed and also to enable isolation when wiring. There is no on/off switch on the NTWB2 itself, however the NTWB2 can be disconnected by removing the green plug-in connector.
INSTALLATION & USER MANUAL 8.5 NMEA Input Wiring Refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the devices you wish to connect to the NTWB2 for wire colour and connection information. This manual only deals with the NTWB2 connections as it is impossible to cover every potential combination of devices to be connected.
Locate the ‘Defaults’ pins as indicated in Figure 9 below and install the jumper to short the pins together. Plug the wiring connector back in to the NTWB2 and power up. When the default values are being set all indicator LEDs will be on at the same time for a short period, after which the normal power up LED sequence occurs.
The NTWB2 is set to Set the NTWB2 for AP Mode by moving Switch 3 to the OFF Join mode (Switch 3 is position and cycling the power to the NTWB2. I cannot connect to Password incorrect Re-enter correct password.
