Channel
Channel setting is available in order to
overcome potential interference to the
GoFree device by another RF device
transmitting in the same frequency band.
Advanced
Tools are available within the Zeus2 software to assist in fault-fi nding and setting up the wifi
network.
Iperf
Iperf is a commonly used network performance tool. It’s provided for testing Wifi network
performance around the vessel so weak spots or problem areas can be identifi ed. The
application must be installed on and run from the tablet device. The Zeus2 must be
running Iperf server before initiating the test from the tablet. On exiting the page, Iperf will
automatically stop running.
DHCP Probe
The GoFree Wifi module contains a DHCP server that will allocate IP addresses for all the
MFDs, radars and sonars in a network. If integrating with other devices, such as a 3G modem
or satellite phone, other devices in the network may also be acting as DHCP servers. To make
it easy to fi nd all DHCP servers on a network, dhcp_probe may be run from the Zeus2. .
Only one DHCP device may be operational on the same network at a time. If a second device
is found, turn off it’s DHCP feature if possible. Refer to the device’s own instructions for further
assistance.
 Note: Iperf and DHCP Probe are tools provided for diagnostic purposes by users familiar with
network terminology and confi guration. Navico is not the original developer of these tools,
and can not provide support related to their use.
