The winch is configured to use DHCP by default and will obtain an address automatically if a DHCP
server is present on the network. In the absence of a DHCP response, it will fall back to the static
address of 192.168.0.10
This static address is not easily adjusted by the user so if a DHCP server is not running on the
1
network, the address range of the survey network should be set to match the 192.168.0.X range.
If a DNS server is present on the network, a DNS entry will be registered, the hostname being ‘vigo’.
3.7 Integration into the Survey Network
A typical survey network that is present on a vessel will usually comprise the following components,
connected together by an ethernet switch :-
1. Multibeam sonar
2. Motion sensor
3. GPS receiver
4. Survey computer
To complete the integration into this existing setup, the winch requires a connection to the ethernet
switch and the survey computer requires the addition of a USB Bluetooth or WiFi receiver and, in the
case of certain profilers, the installation of C-MAX’s Vigo Depth Relay software.
This receiver provides the connection to the Sound Velocity Profiler and in conjunction with software
from the profiler manufacturer, enables automatic retrieval of the recorded profile.
