# B\&G / Simrad / Navico

The Autopilot can connect to B\&G, Simrad, or other Navico plotters using either Wi-Fi or Ethernet to receive NMEA 0183 data such as GPS, wind, and AIS information. Follow the steps below depending on your preferred connection method.

## Step 1a: Wi-Fi connection

#### Connect the Autopilot to the plotter's Wi-Fi Network

1. Open the Autopilot's [web interface](/autopilot/operate/web-interface-apps.md) in your browser.
2. Go to the [Wifi / network config](/autopilot/operate/web-interface-apps/wifi-network-config.md) page.
3. Under **Wifi Mode**, select 'Managed (client)' .
4. Enter the **SSID** (network name) and **password** of your **plotter’s Wifi network**.
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.
7. To get the IP address of the Autopilot you can choose **Settings** ⇒ **Wifi** on the Controlhead.  The device’s **IP address** is displayed at the bottom of the WiFi menu.

## Step 1b: Ethernet connection

1. **Enable the Autopilot’s ethernet DHCP server**
   1. Open the [Wifi / network config](https://pcnautic.gitbook.io/autopilot/operate/web-interface/wifi-network-config) page.
   2. In Ethernet mode, choose 'DHCP Server' and click Submit.
2. **Physically connect the devices** \
   • Plug a standard ethernet cable from the Simrad MFD (e.g., NSS12 evo3) into the Autopilot’s USB ethernet adapter.
3. **Verify the IP lease** \
   • Refresh the [Wifi / network config](https://pcnautic.gitbook.io/autopilot/operate/web-interface/wifi-network-config) page \
   • The plotter's hostname and IP address should appear under [IP Leases](https://pcnautic.gitbook.io/autopilot/operate/web-interface/wifi-network-config#ip-leases).

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

1. On the same [Wifi / network config](/autopilot/operate/web-interface-apps/wifi-network-config.md) page, locate [NMEA data clients](/autopilot/operate/web-interface-apps/wifi-network-config.md#nmea-data-clients)
2. In the **IP Address** field, enter the IP address of the plotter (typically `192.168.76.1`).
3. In the **Port Number** field, enter `10110`.
4. Click **Submit** to save the settings.

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

**Limitation**: B\&G / Simrad / Navico plotters only transmit NMEA 0183 data, but do not accept incoming NMEA 0183 data.

## Web interface on B\&G / Simrad / Navico plotters

{% hint style="success" %}
Tip: Certain B\&G / Simrad / Navico chartplotters are capable of displaying the web interface of the Pcnautic Autopilot. For more information, see [Broadcast Simrad MFD shortcut](/autopilot/operate/web-interface-apps/configuration.md#broadcast-simrad-mfd-shortcut)
