8 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Data Usage
PowerFLARM Fusion can be connected to EFBs and mobile devices (tablets, smart
phones) to stream traffic data. The connection can be made over either Wi-Fi or
Bluetooth. The following modes are available:
• FLARM ICD on Bluetooth (serial port profile, Android only)
• FLARM ICD on Wi-Fi (TCP, socket 2000)
• FLARM ICD on Wi-Fi (WebSocket)
• GDL 90 on Wi-Fi (UDP)
To use one of the Wi-Fi modes, the mobile device must be connected to Fusion’s
Wi-Fi as described in Section 3.1. The host IP address is 10.10.10.10.
Note: Some apps have an option to connect to FLARM via third party interface
modules (e.g. AIR Connect). These modules, however, use different
connection settings (e.g. IP number) and the associated connection option
may not be compatible with PowerFLARM Fusion.
8.1 ICD on Wi-Fi, TCP
Fusion accepts incoming connections on the socket 2000. Streaming starts
immediately when the client connects. Communication is bidirectional, NMEA
commands can be issued to FLARM. Only one TCP connection is accepted at a time.
8.2 ICD on Wi-Fi, WebSocket
The WebSocket stream is available at http://10.10.10.10/api/flarm/dataport. Only
one WebSocket can be open at a time.
8.3 ICD on Bluetooth
To use Bluetooth, the mobile device first has to be paired with PowerFLARM Fusion.
This can be done on the Configuration / Wi-Fi & Bluetooth page in FLARM Hub. To
pair a new device, click on the button “Start pairing”. Within 1 minute, pair the
mobile device using the Android system settings. Once paired, the data stream
can be selected as virtual serial port in the app.
Note: Fusion uses a single radio module for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Thus, Wi-Fi is
not available while Bluetooth streaming is active. To re-enable Wi-Fi,
simply stop the Bluetooth data stream, e.g. by closing the app.
