8. Wireless Connections
The A032 allows users to view their data through WiFi on a PC, tablet, smartphone or other WiFi
enabled device. Users can access marine network data including vessel course, speed, position, wind
speed, direction, water depth etc. These can be viewed in the chart software (see chapter chart
)
software
The IEEE 802.11b/g wireless standard has two basic modes of operation; Ad-hoc mode (peer to peer)
and station mode (also called infrastructure mode).
The A032 supports both:-
In Ad-hoc mode WiFi: mobile devices connect directly (peer to peer) to another device, without a
router or access point. For example; PC, tablet or smartphone can connect directly to the A032 to
receiver marine data.
In Station mode WiFi: wireless devices communicate through an access point (AP) such as a router
that serves as a bridge to other networks (such as the Internet or LAN). This allows the router to
handle the data and traffic from the device. This data can then be picked up through the router
anywhere on the local area network. This is similar to plugging the device directly into the router by
wire, but instead using wireless technology. In this way, the mobile devices receive both the marine
data and other AP connections for example Internet.
The A032 is set to Ad-hoc mode as a default setting, but can be easily setup to station mode
through the configuration tool software.
