Tools are available within the GO7 software to assist in fault-finding
and setting up the wireless network.
Iperf
Iperf is a commonly used network performance tool. It is provided
for testing wireless network performance around the vessel so weak
spots or problem areas can be identified. The application must be
installed on and run from a tablet device. The GO7 must be running
Iperf server before initiating the test from the tablet. On exiting the
page, Iperf automatically stops running.
DHCP Probe
The wireless module contains a DHCP server that allocates IP
addresses for all the MFDs, and Echosounder in a network. If
integrating with other devices, such as a 3G modem or satellite
phone, other devices in the network may also be acting as DHCP
servers. To make it easy to find all DHCP servers on a network,
dhcp_probe may be run from the GO7. Only one DHCP device may
be operational on the same network at a time. If a second device is
found, turn off its DHCP feature if possible. Refer to the device’s own
instructions for further assistance.

Note: Iperf and DHCP Probe are tools provided for
diagnostic purposes by users familiar with network
