  • Page 8: Device Installation And Connection

    II. Device Installation and Connection The Device requires no maintenance. When deciding where to install the Device, choose a dry mounting location. Do not place the Device where it can be flooded by water or exposed to rain or water spray. Please note that you may need to observe LED signals and/or press the Gateway’s hidden button during the configuration procedure.

    III. Connecting to the Gateway Before continuing reading, make sure that the Device is connected to the Ethernet network or to a PC and that the network status LED is flashing chaotically (see Section II.2). 1. Ethernet and Internet Protocol (IP) basics Each Ethernet device has a 6-digit physical address (MAC address).
  • Page 11 Bonjour and mDNS protocols are supported in Linux, Mac OS X and in Microsoft Windows 10. 2. Connection to the Gateway Usually, the Gateway can be accessed using a web browser by following addresses: • http://192.168.4.1 • http://yden.local The internal web site of the Ethernet Gateway should be opened. Use login «admin» and password «admin»...
  • Page 12 devices which are configured to obtain IP address automatically. The address space is limited to four addresses (for four client devices), the first client’s address will be «next» to the the address of the Gateway; the other network devices must be configured for static IP addresses. The factory setting for Gateway’s address is 192.168.4.1.
  • Page 13 Figure 1. Internet protocol settings in Microsoft Windows Open network connection properties on the PC («Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)» on Microsoft Windows, see Figure 1) and set the IP address to 192.168.4.2 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, other settings can be ignored. To avoid possible network conflicts, it is recommended to connect the PC directly to the Gateway with network cable.
  • Page 14 If you still cannot open the Gateway’s web site from the PC, check the address of the «Proxy Server» in a web browser (it must be switched off) and/or try another web browser. See the next chapter for troubleshooting. 5. Troubleshooting of Ethernet connection The following step-by-step guide will help you to troubleshoot the network connection: a.
  • Page 15 with DHCP server), switch the Gateway to «Static IP Address». In both cases, the Gateway’s own IP address will be fixed. In case of an onboard PC (not a laptop, which can be taken away from the boat for a while), you may prefer to configure a static IP address (use addresses differing by at least 10 from Gateway’s address, for example to x.x.x.11 if the Gateway has the address x.x.x.1).

    IV. Gateway Settings We strongly recommend that you check and modify default settings after installation. Network users can take control of autopilot and other important ship systems. If your network has external access, be sure that the administrative web site and data servers are not accessible from outside.

  • Page 17: Configuration Of Application Protocols

    1. 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 18 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. We recommend using UDP protocol where possible, because the resources of the Device’s CPU are limited.

    Server #3 also supports the «Debug» and «Memory» data protocols. The «Debug» protocol is designed to diagnose hardware or software issues and described in Section VII. The «Memory» protocol allows export of the vessel’s data from an internal memory to GPX (tracks), CSV (spreadsheets) or XML formats; see Section IX for details.
  • Page 21 2.1. True wind calculation The wind sensor always measures apparent wind; true wind angle is calculated using SOG or STW data and true wind direction requires COG or heading. A chart plotter can join all these data and send calculated values to NMEA 2000, but usually TWD, TWA and TWS are not available.
  • Page 22 2.3. Autopilot control Modern autopilots have the following modes: • Standby. In this mode, autopilot is not engaged to the vessel control. • Auto. The autopilot has a fixed course to steer. • Wind. The autopilot steers the boat at a specified angle to the wind. •...

    2.4. XDR Settings The XDR sentence is used to transfer data from sensors, tanks, engines, etc. This sentence contains the sensor’s text identifier (name), which was not defined by NMEA Standard until end of 2018. This led to the invention of names by every company on the market.
  • Page 26 messages can be sent by internal NMEA servers to the NMEA 2000 network. Each filter list has a switchable type: WHITE or BLACK. A message is passed thru the WHITE filter if it contains a record matched with a message. And the reverse for BLACK.
  • Page 27 3.2. Syntax of NMEA 2000 (RAW protocol) filters You should be familiar with the NMEA 2000 Standard (can be purchased from National Marine Electronics Association, www.nmea.org) to operate with NMEA 2000 filters. These filters actually contain pairs of 29-bit message identifiers and a mask. The identifier is compared by processing the NMEA 2000 message identifier and the second value (mask) defines the comparison concerning which bits are significant.

    3.3. Configure filters To configure a filter, open the «NMEA Filters» page (Figure 3) on the administration web site and select it with «Server», «Data Protocol» and «Filter» combo boxes. Switch the filter type to required, enter a filter string and click «Update» (to discard changes just switch to another filter or refresh page in browser).

    V. Reset of Settings and Hardware Reset During first 10 seconds after powering on, the hidden button (shown on Figure 1 in Section I) switches the Gateway to emergency mode (see Section III.4). The reset of settings is available in any mode after this phase. Insert the paper clip (at a right angle to the device face) in the small hole in the end plate of the Gateway.

  • Page 32: Led Signals

    VI. LED Signals The Gateway is equipped with two LEDs (green and yellow) shown on Figure 1 at Section I. The network LED (yellow) indicates Ethernet activity (including service messages) and chaotically flashes at least once every few seconds. A constant signal from the network LED means that there are physical connection problems (network cable is unplugged, etc.), see Section II.2 for details.
  • Page 33 LED Signals Mode Notes DHCP This signal is usually sent once after the power Magic on, because over the 8 next seconds the mode is changing to DHCP Client or DHCP Server. Static No problems detected, Gateway using the fixed IP address assigned by user (192.168.4.1 by default).

The second flash indicates with 0.3 second signal that the number of TCP connections is exceeded on at least one Gateway’s server and that a new connection was dropped, the 0.15-second signal means no problem with TCP connections.

  • Page 35: Recording Of Diagnostics Data

    VII. Recording of Diagnostics Data Diagnostics are designed to troubleshoot issues with software applications or Web Gauges. Diagnostics data can be recorded using a web browser (both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 data) or with free CAN Log Viewer software (NMEA 2000 only). 1.

  • Page 40: Data Logging And Cloud Services

    IX. Data Logging and Cloud Services The Gateway is able to record a vessel’s data on the internal memory. Recorded data can be downloaded from the administrative web site (no internet connection is required) in GPX (tracks), CSV (spreadsheets) or XML formats, or uploaded to Cloud Services if the Gateway has an internet connection.
  • Page 41 When the memory is full, new points will overwrite old points. Use the button «Clear all data» before selling the Gateway. Recorded data can also be cleared by a hardware reset of the Gateway, but a settings reset does not clear it (see Section V). 2.
  • Page 42 To start, you need to register at https://cloud.yachtd.com/ and get a «Boat key» using the serial number of your Gateway. Once the boat key is entered to the settings in the «Upload» section of the «Logging» page, the Gateway will upload data to the Cloud Services every 15 minutes if it has more than 1 non-uploaded point and an internet connection is available.
