![]() ![]() I just bought a generic 12v switch from the local store where I was at the time, Sicily I think. One reason you might not want to connect through a router is that I understand couple of the ethernet connections from the RI10 carry power to the radar head, the ones not used pre Cat 6. I get both GoFree data from port 10110 on the NSS8s IP address (it usess DHCP so will pick that up from my router) and the radar udp stream running onto my network through the boat router, works well with OpenCPNs BR24 plugin. This connects the radar head, the RI10 and my boats router. If you don't have an MBR95 you'll have to adapt this to your own router, but hopefully helps you save some time if you're trying to get a similar setup working.Ĭlick to expand.I have an ethernet switch between the radar and the RI10 not a router. The GoFree app is suprisingly fast, a bit faster in my experience than using the NSS units via the built in touch interface. This setup allows you to leave your iPad connected to your normal WiFi network (with Internet access) while also connecting to your Simrad network and using the GoFree app or iNavX with Simrad NMEA data. To connect iNavX or MacEnc to the Simrad Ethernet NMEA 0183 data, goto the NSS unit to the Settings -> Network page, select NMEA 0183 at the bottom, then Ethernet, and it will display the IP address and port you should use to connect to NMEA 0183 data over WiFi. GoFree will remember the last IP you entered when you press '+' so you don't have to type in in every time. Now you can connect your iPad to the Primary MBR95 WiFi network, open the GoFree app, click the '+' button and enter the IP address of an NSS unit. The reservations should show up in the reservations section and now each time the NSS units boot up they'll get the same IP addresses since they are reserved. To ensure the NSS units get the same IP addresses each time they boot select the active DHCP leases for the NSS units and click 'Reserve'. You'll see entries for the NSS8 and the NSS12. You can view the active DHCP leases via Network Settings -> DHCP Server on the MBR95. When the NSS8 and NSS12 boot up they get an IP address from the MBR95's DHCP server (see step 2.f above). One minor downside of using your own router is that the GoFree app won't auto-detect the IP address the NSS8 or NSS12 so you have to figure out what the IP address the NSS units got from the MBR95 DHCP server and type that into the GoFree app manually the 1st time. No custom cabling required, it's plug and play. The Cradlepoint MBR95 is hooked up to the NEP-2 with a Simrad Ethernet Adapter Cable (000-0127-56) that provides acces to the NSS8 and NSS122. Simrad LAN - wired Ethernet ports only - NO WiFi - Simrad gear connects to this network Primary LAN - WiFi interface only - no wired Ethernet ports - iPad connects to this WiFi network The MBR95 provides a guest network, that was repurposed as the wired-only Simrad network:Ī) remove wired Ethernet ports 1-4 - via interfaces tabī) remove 'guest' WiFi interface - via interfaces tabĬ) add wired Ethernet ports 1-4 - via interfaces tabģ) Disable the 'guest' WiFi access point - via wireless (WiFi) network settings tab I used option #2 since the Cradlepoint MBR95 doesn't support IGMP snooping or access to iptables directly. keep it on the wired LAN):ġ) enable IGMP snooping to isolate radar traffic and disable broadcast traffic with iptables to isolate sonar trafficĢ) create an isolated wired-only Simrad network (VLAN) and allow routed WiFi IP traffic There are 2 ways to isolate the radar and sonar traffic (i.e. This will not affect the normal functionality of radar, sonar or GoFree features. Because of this we recommend blocking Radar and Sonar data on you Wifi router so the Wifi is kept free of this data. ![]() If this is allowed to transmit over your Wifi network it may result in your Wifi being overloaded and unable to work correctly. Navico’s Radar and Sonar products transmit large quantities of data. Some additional info from the GoFree advanced setup guide: iPad 2: mirrors and NSS12 (chart) or uses iNavX + Simrad NMEA 0183 data - including AISĪs already mentioned on this thread, the trick to not crashing your wireless router is to isolate the raw Simrad radar and sonar traffic from the WiFi since it bogs the WiFi down and crashes your WiFi router when you turn on the radar or sonar (at least that's what happened on my Cradlepoint MBR95). iPad 1: mirrors the NSS8 (radar) with GoFree app This thread was really helpful getting my setup working, including radar, sonar, and AIS: ![]()
