WLN10 Smart

The WLN10 only have one NMEA 0183 interface (input & output). You must configure this interface at either 38,400 baud (AIS speed) or 4,800 baud (instruments & GPS speed). This is an ideal server if you want to broadcast data either from your AIS receiver/transponder or the data from your instrumentation.

The WLN30 have 3 x NMEA 0183 interface and you can select different NMEA speed for each NMEA 0183 interface. The WLN30 multiplexes all data and broadcasts it via WiFi to receive real-time data to an application or navigation software. This is an ideal server if you have several navigation devices on board (with different NMEA speeds) and you want to broadcast AIS, GPS and instrument data at the same time.

We keep on our blog a list which explains how to interface the WLN10/WLN30 & NavLink2 to popular navigation equipment such as Raymarine, Garmin, Furuno, etc.. This list explains which wires you need to use to interface the products together.

For the WLN10/WLN30, you can see the list here: https://digitalyacht.net/how-to-interface-wln10/

For the NavLink2, you can see the list here: https://digitalyacht.net/how-to-interface-nmea2000/

All configuration can be done through a simple web interface, just connect to the product’s Wi-Fi network then open your web browser, enter the product’s IP address (192.168.1.1) and you can set baud rates, multiplexing mode, network name, password and join an existing network.

Our WLN10/WLN30 & NavLink2 have a built-in web interface and create a password protected WiFi network. With your tablet, PC or smartphone, if you scan for wireless networks, you should see a wireless network called “DY-WiFi-xxxx” where xxxx is a four-digit code unique to the product. The WiFi network might change according to your product version.

Make your device join this network and you will be asked to enter a password which is “PASS-xxxx” where xxxx is the same four-digit code as in your network name. You can change both the network name and password in the unit’s web interface

No internet connection is required. Many consumers get confused and automatically associate wifi with internet. The product creates a wifi network and the local iPad or tablet users searches for this in the same way they search for a wifi hotspot.

Once connected, NMEA data is sent over the local link created on board the boat.

Up to 7 devices can connect using UDP. TCP/IP is a one to one connection format. PCs, MACs, Android, Linux and iPhone/iPad are all compatible.

We keep up to date reviews on our news blog at www.digitalyacht.net – search for Best Marine Apps for Android or iOS. Popular apps include Navionics, iNavX, TZ iBoat , iAIS, NavLink, iSailor, SeaPilot, Weather 4D, MaxSea TimeZero, SailGrib and literally 100s more.

Our products are also compatible with navigation software on PC/Mac/Linux.

We keep on our blog a list which explains how to configure all the popular navigation apps & software. This list explains how to configure a NMEA connection (UDP/TCP) on the app/software but also how to configure the AIS settings.

Yes! You can program this through the web interface so you just have one Wi-Fi network on board with our product linked directly to your other Wi-Fi network as a client.

This works well as well with Furuno WiFi radar installations.

The Wi-Fi will typically footprint a boat up to 25m LOA. Contact us if you need a bigger footprint or have a steel or carbon vessel.
