3.5 Wireless LAN Setting
The TZT9/14 can be configured to create a wireless network (“Ad Hoc”) or to connect
to an existing wireless network. Connecting to an existing wireless network is very
useful if you already have an Access Point setup on your boat, especially if you have
Internet available. Simply connect the TZT9/14 and your smartphone or tablet to the
existing wireless network. Since the TZT9/14 and smartphone/tablet device will be on
the same network, you will be able to share data (using the “NavNet Viewer” App) as
well as access the internet (for Weather downloads). Please note that in this configu-
ration, the “NavNet Remote” App performance is inferior due to a larger amount of
data being exchanged between the iPad and the MFD (through the access point). The
“NavNet Viewer” App performance will not be affected in this mode, as the bandwidth
usage is very low. If you do not have an existing wireless access point on your boat or
if you want to achieve the best performance with the “NavNet Remote” App, we rec-
ommended you establish a “point-to-point” connection. This can be accomplished by
configuring the MFD to create a WiFi network (Ad Hoc network). In this mode, the
MFD becomes an Access Point (you can setup the network name and password) to
which the phone/tablet can connect directly.
