6. Connect via WiFi if desired
Ad-hoc mode WiFi (direct A032 to phone/tablet/
PC) is the default setting, this requires no Windows
configuration.
•
On your device (phone/tablet/PC): 15 seconds
after the A032 has powered up, you can scan for
a WiFi network with an SSID similar to 'QK-
A032xxxx'. Connect the device to 'QK-A032xxxx'
with the default password: '88888888'.
•
In your chart software: set the protocol as
'TCP', IP address as '192.168.1.100' and the port
number as '2000' in the chart software.
Station mode WiFi (A032 through a router/access point - to phone/tablet/PC) allows you to
access your data at the same time as your other WiFi network data. This option requires
configuration to set up the connection between the A032 and your router. See the
'Configuration' section of the manual and configuration instructions on the CD provided.
7. Need to configure baud rates, USB or WiFi settings?
The device is set to connect wirelessly in Ad-hoc mode (with no need for a router or access point)
If you want to change to Station mode (connecting through a router) or adjust other setting, see
the configuration section of the manual and the configuration instructions on the CD provided.
UPGRADING FIRMWARE
From time to time, Quark-elec provides new firmware updates to support additional NMEA
2000 PGNs and NMEA 0183 messages. Users can update the firmware on their devices to the
latest available version.
The upgrading process can be found from the manual online. However please be aware of the
following information at the first time when you start to use A032. Un-proper action could
permanently damage the device.
Before starting the firmware update, please ensure all your other devices are
disconnected from your NMEA 2000 backbone. During this process, only the QK-A032
should be connected to the backbone, as data sent to the network by other devices
might cause damage to the A032 during the update.
