5. (Optional) You may enter a static IP address, but it is recommended to leave this blank and use DHCP instead for automatic configuration.

6. Click Submit to apply the changes and initiate the connection.

   • The Autopilot will now attempt to join the plotter's Wifi network.

Step 2: Configure the Autopilot as a NMEA 0183 Data Client

1. This can be done onn the same Wifi / network config page

2. Go to NMEA data clients

3. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address of the B&G plotter (typically 192.168.76.1).

4. In the Port Number field, enter 10110.

5. Click Submit to save the settings.

The Autopilot will now make a TCP-connection to the B&G plotter and begin receiving NMEA 0183 data (such as GPS, wind, and AIS information) over Wifi.
