Wireless LAN Setting

Note: Some TZTBBs are not equipped with the wireless LAN.
The TZTBB can be configured to create a wireless network ("Ad Hoc") or to connect
to an existing wireless network. Connecting to an existing wireless network is very
useful if you already have an Access Point setup on your boat, especially if you have
Internet available. Simply connect the TZTBB and your smartphone or tablet to the ex-
isting wireless network. Since the TZTBB and smartphone/tablet will be on the same
network, you will be able to share data (using the "NavNet Viewer" App) as well as ac-
cess the internet (for Weather downloads). Please note that in this configuration, the
"NavNet Remote" App performance is inferior due to a larger amount of data being ex-
changed between the smartphone/tablet device and the MFD (through the access
point). The "NavNet Viewer" App performance will not be affected in this mode, as the
bandwidth usage is very low. If you do not have an existing wireless access point on
your boat or if you want to achieve the best performance with the "NavNet Remote"
App, we recommended you establish a "point-to-point" connection. This can be ac-
complished by configuring the MFD to create a wireless LAN network (Ad Hoc net-
work). In this mode, the MFD becomes an Access Point (you can setup the network
name and password) to which the smartphone/tablet can connect directly.
Create a wireless LAN network to use the application on your smartphone or tablet
with the wireless LAN signal. Select [Wireless LAN Settings] on the [Menu General]
sub menus.
