WL510 Quick Start Guide
DIGITAL YACHT
Connection to iNavConnect/iNavHub should be made with both units turned off. Use a normal RJ45 Cat 5 network cable
(as supplied with both units) and the WL510 should be wired to the "Network/LAN" socket as shown in Fig 4 on the next
page. Do NOT wire the WL510 to the "Internet/WAN" socket.
Figure 4
Once the WL510 and iNavConnect/iNavHub are connected together, turn on the common switch/circuit breaker and you
should see a steady red light on the WL510 and a flashing green light on LAN LED of the iNavConnect/iNavHub.
Your WL510 is now ready to connect to a Hotspot and provide long range internet connectivity to your router. Proceed to
Section 6 for details of how to scan for available networks (hotspots) and connect to them.

5. Connecting the WL510 to a 3
Party Router
If you already have a router that you wish to use or you want to use another make of router, the WL510 can be connected
to any cable modem type router (rather than a phone line ADSL type). There are plenty of units available from
manufacturers like Netgear, Belkin, Linksys, TP-Link, Cisco, etc. and although Digital Yacht have not exhaustively tested
all of them, every unit that we have so far tested, worked fine with the WL510.

Unfortunately Digital Yacht cannot provide support for installations that are using 3
party commercial off the shelf
routers, such as those previously listed.
Connection should be made with both the router and WL510 turned off and simply involves connecting the Ethernet RJ45
WAN (INTERNET) socket of the router to the WL510 LAN socket using the conventional 1m network cable (not cross
over) supplied. It is important that the WL510 is connected to the router's WAN socket and not one of the router's LAN
sockets.
Confirm that you have connected the antenna to the WL510 and then apply power to the WL510, wait a couple of
seconds and then apply power to the router. Over the next 10-20 seconds as the two devices power up, you should see
some network activity and your router will receive an IP address from the WL510 in the range 192.168.10.100 to
192.168.10.200.
Your WL510 is now ready to connect to a Hotspot and provide long range internet connectivity to your router. Proceed to
Section 6 for details of how to scan for available networks (hotspots) and connect to them.
