Non-AP mode(Client)
To get the A200 transmitting in Non-AP mode(Client);
- Connect the A200 to the WiFi network
- Then connect the laptop or device you want to be streaming the NMEA data also to the same WiFi Network
- Finally either using Hyper Terminal or AIS application such as Navionics etc, connect to the IP address that's been assigned by the WiFi access point you connected to. In the example below 192.168.43.100 via DHCP being enable.
Alternatively you can change the DHCP option to disable and use the IP address that you've set initially.
You should now have AIS data streaming from the AIS unit to your device.
AP mode(server)
To get the AIS transmitting in AP mode(server);
- Change the WPA-2 password to what you want.
- Make sure protocol is set to TCP and DHCP is enabled
- Change the IP address and Port number if needed or leave the default in place
- Go to your connecting device, like phone, iPad, laptop etc and you should see the AIS's SSID listed. In my example - Class A AIS 0039
- Connect to the SSID with the password you changed in the first step.
- Finally either using Hyper Terminal or AIS application, connect to the IP address. In the example below 192.168.50.1 with Port number 49200.
- You should now have AIS data streaming from the AIS unit to your device.
