Page 7: W2K-1 Intro & Features
NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi - W2K-1 W2K-1 Intro & Features The W2K-1 is a compact and low-power NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi Gateway with data logging. It transfers data from an NMEA 2000 backbone to any compatible device (e.g. laptop, tablet or smartphone) connected to it via Wi-Fi. -
Page 8: Nmea 2000 Network Basics
(terminator to terminator) Powering the W2K-1 The W2K-1 receives its power from the NMEA 2000 backbone and is compatible with 12VDC and 24VDC supplies typically using 70mA (2 LEN) at 12 VDC. Once powered, the LEDs inside the case will illuminate. -

W2K-1.(e.g. if more devices need to be connected to the W2K-1) This Wi-Fi password can be changed at any time, but if it’s lost or forgotten, the W2K-1 password can be reset back to its default after gaining physical access to the unit. see Password Recovery. -
Page 10: Configuring The W2K-1
Configuring the W2K-1 Make sure you have connected the the W2K-1 Access Point via Wi-Fi with your PC or device. You can now access the W2K-1 configuration page from any web browser. Enter the IP address : 192.168.4.1 into the address bar and you will be presented with the W2K-1 home page. -

”Hidden”, you will need to use the “join hidden network” function on your PC or device in order to connect to the W2K-1. The SSID of the W2K-1 will then need to be manually typed in when prompted. Page 11... -
Page 12: Wi-Fi Client Settings
The Access Point uses Wi-Fi channel 1 be default, however when a client is joined, the Wi-Fi channel of the client will be adpoted for all modes. If a user is connected to the W2K-1 Access Point and then joins a Client network, the link to the Access Point will be dropped if the Client network is set to a different Wi-Fi channel. -

The IP Address of the W2K-1 (see Wi-Fi Access Point and Client Settings) and the port settings need to correspond. (Note: Some applications use the default setting for NMEA0183 over Wi-Fi as port 10110). By default, the W2K-1 uses Ports 60001 - 60003, but can be set to any value corresponding to that of the application software. -

SD card. See Password Recovery. Warning: Actisense strongly recommends changing the default password to reduce the chance of unauthorised access to the N2K network and the vessels systems. -
Page 15: Firmware Update
On a “lightly loaded” bus, (approximately 5% loading), the user can expect in excess of 30 days continuous data logging. If the W2K-1 is restarted or power cycled, it will create a new log file and the previous lof file size will be dependant on when restart occured. - Page 16 Log files can be downloaded using the ‘Download logs’ button. Each file is approximately 5Mb in size and multiple files or an entire directory can be selected. Note: Log files will download faster if the check-box is selected to suspend data servers and logging during download.

Page 17: Mounting The W2K-1
To avoid potential injury it should be mounted at a height of less than 2m from floor level. Bulkhead Mounting The W2K-1 can be secured to a bulkhead using the two screw holes on the side of the W2K-1 shown in the picture below left. -
Page 18: Trouble Shooting Guide
First level W2K-1 diagnostics / fault finding can be performed by observing the LED behavior. The normal behavior of the W2K-1 LEDs is described in the table below. If the LEDs are not behaving as expected, this will indicate a fault in either the device connected to the W2K-1, the NMEA 2000 network, or the W2K-1 itself. -
Page 19: Password Recovery
NMEA 2000 to Wi-Fi - W2K-1 Password Recovery It is not possible to reset the configuration uesrname and password using the NMEA 2000 connection, as this would require an insecure transmission of the Wi-Fi password. For additional security, the method used to reset the password to its default requires physical access to the unit. -
