Access the ACU Web Interface

The ACU offers a local web interface that can be
used to check system status, update software,
and configure all aspects of the system.
There are a number of ways to connect a
computer to the ACU to access its web interface:
Option 1 - Wired via the vessel's network
Option 2 - Wireless via the vessel's network
Option 3 - Wired direct connection
Option 4 - Wireless direct connection
Option 1 - Wired via Vessel Network
By default, the ACU's Ethernet port is configured
as a DHCP client, which means the vessel's
router can automatically assign it an IP address
when connected to the ACU's Ethernet port. In
this case, simply connect your PC to the network.
NOTE: As an alternative, instead of using DHCP,
you may assign a static IP address to the ACU. See
"Changing Network Settings" on page
Option 2 - Wireless via Vessel Network
If you wish to connect the ACU to the vessel's
network using a wireless connection, change the
ACU's Wi-Fi State to Infrastructure (default
setting is Ad Hoc). In addition, enter the vessel
network's SSID and WPA_PSK password (if
applicable) into the ACU. See
Network Settings" on page 20
the ACU is connected to the network, simply
connect your PC to the network.
Option 3 - Wired Direct
If there is no network onboard the vessel, or no
router (DHCP server) is detected on the network,
the ACU will assign itself an IP address that
begins with 169.254 (169.254.x.x). In this case, you
can connect your PC directly to the ACU's
Ethernet port. If your PC is configured for DHCP
(default setting), it should automatically receive
an IP address on the same IP network as the
ACU.
