Quark-Elec Seatalk QK-A033 Setup Manual

QK-A033
6. WiFi Ad-hoc connection
On your device (phone, laptop etc.):
15 seconds after the A033 has powered up, you
can scan for a WiFi network with an SSID similar to
'QK-A033xxxx'. Connect to 'QK-A033xxxx' with
the default password: '88888888'.
Chart software: in your chart software, set the
protocol to 'TCP', IP address to '192.168.1.100'
and port number to '2000'
For Station mode WiFi setup, use the Configura-
tion software. (see below)
USING THE CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE (WINDOWS):
WiFi can be changed from Ad-hoc (default) to Station mode or Standby.
Station mode is configured by inputting your router/access point's details into the Configuration
software. (once configured, the correct settings must be entered into your chart software.)
Filtering: using the black list function
If desired, selected NMEA sentences can be blocked from chosen input/s, using the 'black list '
field. Remove the '$' or '!' from the 5 digit NMEA talker and sentence identifier and insert sepa-
rated by commas. For example to block '!AIVDM' and '$GPAAM' enter 'AIVDM,GPAAM' .
Up to 8 sentences types can be filtered from each input port. If blacklisting Seatalk data, block
the corresponding NMEA message (see the manual for a full list of converted messages).
Routing the Seatalk and NMEA sentences.
As a default, all inputs' data (excluding any filtered data) is routed to all outputs (NMEAx2, WiFi
and USB). Data can be routed to limit the data flow to only certain output/s by un-ticking the
corresponding boxes in the Configuration software.
NMEA Baud rates: Default Baud rates are set to:

NMEA IN 1 and 2: 4800bps

NMEA IN 3: 38400bps

NMEA OUT 1: 4800bps

NMEA OUT 2: 38400bps
These can be changed as required.
USB input: The USB connection is 2 way as standard, no additional configuration required. Man-
ual NMEA input via USB is also possible through the configuration software. A good understand-
ing of NMEA sentence structure is required for this additional function.
