iNavConnect Quick Start Guide DIGITAL YACHT LTD 1. Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your iNavConnect Wireless Router. It is recommended that your router is installed by a professional installer. If the iNavConnect is to be connected to the internet via a Digital Yacht WL510 long range Wi-Fi Adaptor or to a Raymarine network, it is recommended that this installation/configuration is carried out by someone with suitable IT experience and knowledge of ethernet networks.
DIGITAL YACHT LTD iNavConnect Quick Start Guide Installation Step 1 Siting of the iNavConnect is critical for Wi-Fi reception. The unit features a 5dB antenna which should give up to 30m range but it is important that the unit is sited in a central location within the boat to try and ensure that Wi-Fi reception is good in all areas of the boat. If the unit is to be hidden away behind a bulkhead, Wi-Fi reception maybe reduced.
DIGITAL YACHT LTD iNavConnect Quick Start Guide Installation Step 3 The following steps only need to be followed if you are connecting the iNavConnect to a Digital Yacht WL510 long range Wi-Fi Adaptor. Using the network cable supplied with the iNavConnect or the WL510, insert one end in to the iNavConnect socket labelled “WAN Internet (WL510 option)” and the other end in to the WL510 network socket.
DIGITAL YACHT LTD iNavConnect Quick Start Guide If you have a WL510 connected the “INTERNET (WL510)” LED should illuminate and if you have a Raymarine system connected, the “NETWORK (Raymarine)” LED should illuminate. NOTE – neither of these LEDs flash when data is being transmitted and if either network connection is not available, the relevant LED will not illuminate. When you connect a wireless device to the iNavConnect, the “WIRELESS” LED will flash as wireless data transfer occurs. 4.
