MFD access point connection when connected to Quantum
Wi-Fi
Depending on you MFD variant, you may be restricted from connecting your
MFD to a Wi-Fi access point, if a Quantum Radar that is connected using Wi-Fi
is currently transmitting on the system.
a, c, e, gS Series and Axiom MFDs CANNOT connect to a Wi-Fi access point
if there is a transmitting Wi-Fi connected Quantum Radar in the system. To
connect these MFDs to a Wi-Fi access point the Quantum Radar must be
placed in Standby mode first.
eS Series, Axiom Pro, Axiom Pro-s, Axiom XL, Axiom 2 Pro, Axiom 2
XL MFDs CAN connect to a Wi-Fi access point at the same time as being
connected to a transmitting Wi-Fi connected Quantum Radar.
Standby and sleep modes for Wi-Fi connections
The radar scanner has 2 modes which may initially prevent you from
successfully pairing the radar to an MFD via Wi-Fi, in the event that the
Wi-Fi connection between the 2 devices is lost. These modes are part of
the scanner's normal operation, but it's important to understand how these
modes can potentially impact the pairing process.
• Sleep mode — If the connection to the MFD is lost while the scanner is in
Standby mode, the scanner will switch to Sleep mode within 30 minutes.
When the connection to the MFD is restored, return the scanner to Standby
mode using the [Power up Radar] option on the MFD's Shortcut screen,
accessible by momentarily pressing the MFD's Power button.
• Standby mode — If the connection to the MFD is lost while the scanner is in
Transmit mode, the scanner will switch to Standby mode within 5 seconds.
When the connection to the MFD is restored, return the scanner to
Transmit mode using the [Radar: Tx] option on the MFD's Shortcut screen.
For a full description of all the Radar modes and associated on-screen status
symbols, refer to the Radar scanner status symbols topic in the Radar
application chapter of your MFD's Operations handbook.
System checks and troubleshooting
Retain your Wi-Fi passcode
To connect to the Radar using Wi-Fi (wireless), you will need to know the
unit's SSID, and Passcode.
Both the SSID and Passcode are provided on the serial number label on the
underside of the unit, and on spare serial number labels supplied in the box.
You may wish to make a separate note of this information and keep in a
secure location. You should also keep the Radar scanner packaging in a safe
place for future reference.
The following information is applicable only to Quantum units running
software version 1.62 or later, and Quantum Doppler units running
software version 2.43 or later:
In the event that you misplace the SSID and Passcode before the initial
pairing, you can power on your Quantum unit and determine the SSID
by reviewing all available Wi-Fi networks, using a smartphone, tablet or
laptop PC. An unpaired Quantum unit will advertise its SSID periodically in a
10-second cycle. This may take up to 3 minutes.
Once you've obtained the SSID, the next step is to contact Raymarine®
product support and servicing, who can then provide you with the passcode
associated with your SSID. For further information on how to contact
Raymarine® product support and servicing, refer to the following section:
p.74 — Raymarine product support and servicing
Doppler data source requirements
Use of the Doppler Radar features requires the following data sources to be
available on your system (e.g. connected to your multifunction display, via
SeaTalkng ® or NMEA 0183).
Required data sources
Data type
COG (Course Over Ground)
SOG (Speed Over Ground)
Example data source
GPS or GNSS receiver (MFD internal
receiver or external receiver).
GPS or GNSS receiver (MFD internal
receiver or external receiver).
