So out of the box our 4GXtream units work in High Speed Gateway Mode and will convert NMEA 2000 data to NMEA 0183, which for users who just want basic navigation data, will be enough. For advanced users that want software such as Expedition to receive all of the NMEA 2000 data in RAW Mode, then you will need to do the following…. Make sure that your 4G Xtream has the latest firmware. When you update your firmware unit, using the System>Firmware menu option, please remember to turn off the “Keep Settings” switch. 1)            With the 4GXtream powered down and disconnected from the NMEA 2000Read More →

You first need to do a factory Reset again (Push and Hold Reset Switch for min 5sec and max 15sec) so the LANLink goes back to having a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.7 (255.255.255.0). Plug the LANLink in to a PC/Mac and set the computer’s Ethernet port to a fixed IP address of 192.168.0.1 (255.255.255.0). Then you should be able to access the LANLink at http://192.168.0.7 and set it up with the default settings that we apply during production/test. Here are a set of screen shots showing the defaults…       After setting up and saving all of the defaults, you should be ableRead More →

“Out of the box”, our LANLink will default to getting an IP address automatically from any network device it is connected to. Most Ethernet networks have a router that is responsible for providing all of the wireless and wired devices on the network with IP addresses via the “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol” (DHCP). The only slight problem with this approach, is that you do not know what IP address the router has given the LANLink. There are a number of ways to work around this…. 1)            Access the LANLink web interface using its domain URL http://lanlink and then go to the “Status” page to findRead More →
