Connecting With Wifi - ACR Electronics AISLink CB2 User Manual

4.3 Connecting with Wifi
To connect a mobile device or PC with AIS capable navigation software to the CB2 via WiFi
is dependent on the original set-up of the unit.
4.3.1 With the default WiFi settings
If no specifi c settings were entered for WiFi during the initial set-up using the Web based
App the CB2 will not be visible as a WiFi Access Point. To connect a WiFi device it will be
necessary to power up the CB2 while holding the LED button for 6 seconds as describes in
section 3.1 on page 13. Following successful connection with a mobile App the CB2 will be
visible with the SSID: ACR_AISxxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is the serial number.
4.3.2 With Access Mode set-up
If a SSID and password has been entered and Access Mode selected via the Web based
or Mobile App then the CB2 will be visible to other devices with that SSID. Connect your
device to the CB2 using the previously entered password.
Once the device is connected open the third party software application and use the set-
tings within that program to connect to IP address 192.168.4.1 port 24000.
When connected GPS information and AIS target information will be available within that
application.
4.3.3 With Infrastructure Mode set-up
If the unit has been set-up originally in Infrastructure Mode with the SSID and password of
an on-board network the CB2 will connect automatically to that network on power up. The
CB2 will be allocated an IP address by the network router. Before you can connect another
device running AIS capable navigation software it will be necessary to access the router
confi guration and determine this IP address. The CB2 will show in the router as "Espressif".
Once the IP address has been determined open the third party software application and
use the settings within that program to connect to the appropriate IP address port 24000.
When connected GPS information and AIS target information will be available within that
application.
When restarted it is possible that a router will allocate a diff erent
!
IP address. For consistent connections use the router confi guration
software to set a fi xed IP address for the CB2.
