ICM Wireless Settings
With Wi-Fi enabled, vessel devices can connect to
the ICM via its built-in wireless access point
(WAP) and receive IP addresses from the ICM
via DHCP (see Figure 72). Follow these steps to
enable and configure the WAP, if desired by the
customer.
IMPORTANT!
Establishing a wireless connection onboard a
steel vessel might require a special external
WAP and advanced networking expertise.
NOTE: The customer may also change the ICM's
wireless settings at any time at the mini-VSAT
Manager (www.mykvh.com).
a. At the TracPhone V3-HTS web interface, click
the Settings tab. Then click Network
Settings.
b. In Wi-Fi Settings, click Edit.
c. Set the following wireless options, then click
Save (see Figure 73):
• State: Select On.
• SSID: Enter a unique name for the vessel
network.
• Protocol: Select either 802.11b or 802.11g.
• Security: Select either security type –
WPA2 or WEP (128-bit).
• Password/Passphrase: If you selected
WPA2, enter a password (between 8-20
characters). If you selected WEP, enter a
passphrase (must be 13 characters).
• Channel: Keep the default, or select any
channel for wireless communications.
IMPORTANT!
Failure to apply security settings will make
the vessel's wireless network vulnerable to
outside intrusion.
d. At the confirmation message, click Save.
