# Quick Start: Tethered Omnitrack Buoy

### Requirements:

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide is written assuming that the Omnitrack system is outfitted with the MKIII ROVL. If using a different ROVL, the term "Transponder" instead refers to the "Transmitter," and the term "Transceiver" instead refers to the "Receiver."
{% endhint %}

#### Hardware:

* Tethered Omnitrack Buoy
* Network Hub

#### Software:

* [Cerulean SonarView](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omnitrack/quick-start-guides/broken-reference)
* Any Web Browser

### Setting up the Omnitrack Buoy

1. Unbox the Omnitrack. See unboxing/assembly [video](https://vimeo.com/1099511373?share=copy). Be careful not to damage the ROVL Transceiver as its cable is connected to the buoy! Do not forget the included accessory package and ROVL Transponder in the packaging.
2. Assemble the Omnitrack. See unboxing/assembly [video](https://vimeo.com/1099511373?share=copy).

### Connecting the Omnitrack to a Network

* If using using the Cerulean network hub, follow the PC setup directions [here](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omnitrack/quick-start-guides/broken-reference).
* If using using a BaseStation Plus, connect the Omnitrack through a POE injector to an RJ-45 port on the BaseStation Plus and follow the PC setup directions [here](https://docs.ceruleansonar.com/c/omnitrack/quick-start-guides/broken-reference).
