  1. Wi-Fi Module System

Choosing Wi-Fi Radio Configurations

The Wi-Fi radios in the Omnitrack Wi-Fi modules and the Base Station Plusses should be properly configured for your application as we understood it when you ordered your Omnitrack. You should not need to use the information in this section unless your system configuration changes.

Objective
Cons
Configuration

BaseStation Plus is a Wi-Fi access point for the laptop, the Omnitrack is tethered with POE cable (no Wi-Fi module needed)

Need to purchase the optional BaseStation Plus.

Wi-Fi module's radio: N/A — no Wi-Fi Module BaseStation Plus's Radio: OmnitrackAccessPoint.rsc IP Addr: 192.168.2.13 Wi-Fi Password: OmnitrackAP

Omnitrack Wi-Fi functionality at lower cost with fewest additional pieces of hardware.

Requires reconfiguring laptop's Wi-Fi properties and bridging/unbridging the Omnitrack and BlueROV Fathom-X tether networks when switching between Omnitrack and normal Wi-Fi operation. Range is limited by laptop Wi-Fi antenna.

Wi-Fi module's radio: OmnitrackAccessPoint.rsc IP Addr: 192.168.2.13 Wi-Fi Password: OmnitrackAP BaseStation Plus's Radio: N/A — no BaseStation Plus

Easiest setup and deployment with longest range, least interference with any BlueBoats in same operating area.

Need to purchase optional BaseStation Plus. Omnitrack/BlueROV network not integrated with BlueBoat network.

Wi-Fi module's radio: OmnitrackClient.rsc IP Addr: 192.168.2.12 BaseStation Plus's Radio: OmnitrackAccessPoint.rsc IP Addr: 192.168.2.13 Wi-Fi Password: OmnitrackAP

Wi-Fi functionality and a common/shared network with BlueBoat, BlueROV and Omnitrack, no laptop network bridging required.

Need to purchase optional BaseStation Plus.

Wi-Fi module's radio: OmnitrackClient.rsc IP Addr: 192.168.2.12 BaseStation Plus's Radio: BaseStationConfig.rsc IP Addr: 192.168.2.3 Wi-Fi Password: blueboat

Add the Omnitrack to your existing BlueBoat network and use simultaneously with a BlueBoat, or use your existing BlueBoat BaseStation with your Omnitrack

User needs to figure out bridging between BlueBoat network and BlueROV Fathom-X network.
