  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction The NMEA 2000 Wi-Fi Gateway (hereinafter Gateway or Device) allows you to see data from an NMEA 2000 marine digital network on a PC or smartphone. With it, you get marine network data including vessel course, speed, position, wind speed and direction, water depth, AIS messages from vessels and aircrafts and other navigation data in popular software applications.
  • Page 5 The Device has a bi-directional converter between NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 protocols. NMEA 0183 protocol has been widely supported in marine applications since the last millennium. So the Device is compatible with virtually all marine software, except applications especially designed for use only with specific hardware. A powerful system of data filters allows configuring data output for feature-limited mobile applications.

  • Page 6: Warranty And Technical Support

    Warranty and Technical Support The Device warranty is valid for two years from the date of purchase. If a Device was purchased in a retail store, the sales receipt may be requested when applying for a warranty claim. The Device warranty is terminated in case of violation of the instructions in this Manual, case integrity breach, or repair or modification of the Device without the manufacturer’s written permission.

Yacht Devices Ltd declares that this product is compliant with the essential requirements of EMC directive 2014/30/EU and radio and TTE directive 1999/5/EC. Dispose of this product in accordance with the WEEE Directive. Do not mix electronic disposal with domestic or industrial refuse.

  • Page 9: Installation Of Device And Connection To Nmea 2000 Network

    II. Installation of Device and Connection to NMEA 2000 Network The Device requires no maintenance. When deciding where to install the Device, choose a dry mounting location. Avoid places where the Device could be flooded with water, as this can damage it. Note that conductive materials (metals) weaken the Wi-Fi signal or may even completely block it.
  • Page 10 After connecting the Device, close the lock on the connection to ensure it is water resistant and firmly secured. When powered on, the Device produces a single green flash to indicate that power is supplied. After that, the Gateway will produce a series of four flashes every five seconds (see details in chapter VI).

  • Page 11: Wi-Fi Settings

    III. Wi-Fi Settings The Device can work in Access Point mode (factory defaults) and in Client mode, when the Device is connected to an existing Wi-Fi network. To configure the Gateway, you need any Wi-Fi enabled device (laptop or smartphone) with a web browser. The internal web server of the Gateway has limited possibilities and simultaneous access from multiple devices is not recommended.
  • Page 12 Up to three Wi-Fi connections are supported in Access Point mode. You can switch the Device to Client mode to avoid this limitation. 2. Client mode Figure 1. Wi-Fi details on IPhone 6 In this mode, the Gateway connects to an existing Wi-Fi network. To switch to this mode from Access Point mode, or tune the settings, open the “Wi-Fi Client”...
  • Page 13 The Gateway must have a fixed IP address. This can be done in the Wi-Fi router settings; you can assign a fixed IP address by the MAC address of the Gateway printed on the “Wi-Fi Client” page. In this case, you can leave the default “Use DHCP” setting in the IP address configuration.
  • Page 14 For example, you connect the Gateway to the network “Yacht” and specify 192.168.1.100 as the address in the static IP address field. You should connect your smartphone or laptop to the “Yacht” network and type http://192.168.1.100 in the web browser to open administration web site.

  • Page 15: Configuration Of Application Protocols

    IV. Configuration of Application Protocols Figure 1. Settings of OpenCPN application Most marine applications support both TCP and UDP network protocols. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. This means that the receiver must confirm reception of data before it gets the next packet of data, otherwise the sender repeats the transmission after a timeout.
  • Page 16 traffic and CPU load, despite the fact that both clients receive the same data. UDP is a connectionless protocol; any number of clients can listen to data broadcasted from a specified port without any additional load on the server and without increasing the actual network traffic.

  • Page 19: Nmea 0183 And Nmea 2000 Message Filters

    V. NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 Message Filters The Device has 14 filter lists which allow limiting the set of messages passed from the NMEA 2000 network to a PC or mobile application (transmit filters) and messages passed from the application to the NMEA 2000 network (receive filters). Each NMEA server has four filter lists: two for incoming and outgoing NMEA 0183 messages, two for incoming and outgoing NMEA 2000 messages (used for RAW protocol).
  • Page 20 Gateway with factory settings using «YD» talker ID, it can be changed on the “NMEA Settings” page (see X.2). The Device uses 3-char sentence formatters only for filtering. The following sentences matches to GLL and VDM records (sentence formatters): $GPGLL,4146.5894,N,07029.6952,W,173412.02,A*15 !AIVDM,1,1,,B,ENk`smq71h@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@=MeR6<7rpP00003v f400,4*5F Example of correct NMEA 0183 filter text:...
  • Page 21 Example of correct filter: 0x1FD0700 0x1FFFFFF, 130310, 1 255, 130311 This filter matches with messages with PGN 130311 (0x1FD07) sent by the device with address 0, PGN 130310 (sent by any device), messages sent by a device with address 1 (“1 255” is another form of the record “0x0000001 0x00000FF”), and PGN 130311 (sent by any device).

  • Page 24 During normal operation, the Gateway produces a series of four flashes every 5 seconds. With the factory settings, the Gateway should flash GREEN-GREEN-RED-GREEN, and when you open the administration web site in the web browser (http://192.168.4.1), the Device will blink all green while pages are loading. LED signals during device reset using the hidden reset button are described in chapter VII.

    VII. Reset of Settings and Hardware Reset Insert the paper clip (at a right angle to the device face) in the small hole in the end plate of the Gateway. The LED of the Gateway will constantly shine red when the hidden button under the hole is pressed. Wait 2-3 seconds and the LED will change from red to green.

    VIII. Recording of Diagnostics Data Diagnostics designed to troubleshoot issues with software applications. A log contains all sent and received NMEA 2000 messages and all data sent and received from and to the NMEA server #1 port (see IV). The NMEA server #3 can be configured to send log data in a real time to a web browser or terminal application.
  • Page 27 Figure 1. Chrome browser with log Press the “Stop” button in the browser (or the Esc button in some browsers) when enough data is downloaded and saves the log to disk. Some mobile browsers do not allow saving of files and we recommend using a laptop or PC to record diagnostics data.

It depends on autopilot settings. When the application terminates the navigation, it usually stops sending APB and RMB sentences. Autopilot usually switches to Auto mode and signals about that.
  • Page 34 When the route or waypoint is activating in the application, autopilot switches to the Track mode from Auto. If automatic confirmations are off (default settings, 2nd setting at the “NMEA Settings” page), the chart plotter and pilot head will ask for the confirmation when waypoint is changing.
