Setting Up Wi-Fi Security; Selecting A Wi-Fi Channel - Lighthouse Raymarine gS95 Installation And Operation Instruction Manual

28.4 Setting up Wi-Fi security

You can encrypt the Wi-Fi connection on the
multifunction display to prevent unauthorized
devices from accessing the connection. The default
encryption is WPA2.
With the homescreen displayed:
1. Select Set-up.
2. Select System Settings.
3. Select Wireless Connections.
4. Select Wi-Fi > On.
5. Select Wi-Fi Name and specify the SSID. This
should be a memorable word and must be unique
to each multifunction display in your system.
By default the SSID is the serial number of the
multifunction display.
6. Select Wi-Fi Security and specify the type of
encryption you want to use — None, WPA only,
WPA2 only (default), or WPA/WPA2.
Note:
• Raymarine strongly recommends the use of the
WPA2 security setting.
• Selecting None for your Wi-Fi Security will leave
your Wi-Fi open and allow anyone with a Wi-Fi
enabled device access to your system.
7. It is recommended that the default Wi-Fi
Passphrase is NOT changed.
Note: Once Wi-Fi security is set up on the
multifunction display you must specify the same
SSID and password credentials on your iPhone or
iPad before wireless video streaming can be used.
Changing the default passphrase
It is recommended that the default passphrase is
not changed, however if you do need to change the
passphrase follow the steps below:
From the Wireless Connections menu: Set-up >
System Settings > Wireless Connections
1. Select Wi-Fi Passphrase.
The on-screen keyboard will be displayed,
showing the current passphrase.
2. Use DEL to delete the current passphrase.
3. Enter a new passphrase.
Note: Ensure the passphrase you choose is
'strong' by using a combination of upper/lower
case letters, numbers and special characters. The
passphrase can be between 8 and 63 characters in
length with longer passphrases being more secure.
4. Select SAVE to save the new passphrase.
