With Wi-Fi enabled, vessel devices can connect to the ICM via its built-
in wireless access point (WAP) and receive IP addresses from the ICM
via DHCP.
Important!
The range of the ICM's WAP will depend on the layout and structure
of the vessel. For example, wireless signals degrade when passing
through bulkheads and near metal masses. If the system is installed
on a steel vessel, you might need a special WAP and the services of a
technician with advanced networking expertise.
