Software setup | NSO evo2 Installation Manual
To use two WIFI-1s as access points simultaneously the Zeus² must initially be connected
to only one unit. Once this unit is set to secondary, a second module may be turned on/
connected, and will automatically default to primary.
¼ Note: Use of multiple devices in Access Point mode is solely for range extension purposes,
and is usually only required on large vessels.
¼ Note: In a network with only one WIFI-1, the WIFI-1 should be left in Primary mode.
Channel (Access Point mode only)
Channel setting is available in order to overcome potential interference to the GoFree device
by another RF device transmitting in the same frequency band.
Hardware
Provides fi rmware version info, and MAC address details.
Networks (Client mode only)
Shows a list of all visible networks available for connection. Select name of desired network to
enter network key and make connection.
Change administrator password (Access Point mode, WIFI-1 only)
This can be set to increase WIFI-1 security, preventing change of settings via a connected
device’s browser (eg on a tablet), or other MFDs on the network. The default user and
password are both ‘admin’.
Restore defaults
Deletes all user made changes, and restores WIFI-1 unit to factory settings.
Client settings
Opens the Wireless Client Settings dialogue, which shows networks previously connected to,
regardless of whether they are currently visible or not. Allows deletion of network from list,
and toggling of Automatic connection setting.
Simultaneous Client and Access Point operation
If it’s desirable to have the MFD accessible to a tablet while also having internet access for
GoFree store and Insight Genesis, it is necessary to use two wireless units - one must be in
Client mode, the other in Access Point mode.
Mercury®
If the NSO evo2 is on the same NMEA 2000 network as a Mercury VesselView® 4, 7, 502, 702,
or Link, a host of Mercury® specifi c features are automatically unlocked. When the features are
enabled, the display may prompt the user for some basic confi guration information. Refer to
the VesselView® manual or engine supplier for further information.
