Built-in WiFi
Select this option to enable or disable the internal WiFi.
Disabling the internal WiFi reduces the unit’s power consumption.
WiFi networks
Shows the WiFi network connection status. If the MFD is connected to the internet (WiFi
hotspot), the hotspot name (SSID) is shown.
Hotspot settings

MFD built-in hotspot is turned on.
Remembered hotspots

Remote controllers
When a wireless device (smart phone or tablet) is connected, it should appear in the Remote
controllers list. Selecting the always allow option means the device can automatically
connect without needing to re-enter a password. This dialog also allows you to disconnect
devices that no longer require access.

Advanced
Tools are available within the software to assist in fault-finding and setting up the wireless
network.
DHCP Probe
The wireless module contains a DHCP server that allocates IP addresses for all the MFDs, and
devices 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 unit. 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.
Ú
Note: Iperf and DHCP Probe are tools provided for diagnostic purposes by users familiar
with network terminology and configuration. Navico is not the original developer of
these tools, and cannot provide support related to their use.
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 unit must be running Iperf server before initiating the test from the tablet. On exiting the
page, Iperf automatically stops running.
