Note. Because the GPS is connected via the instrument system, you
must still specify the Instrument system column here.

Here you must specify the IP address of the server machine on the
network. If you do not know this, then the Autodetect button should
enable you to find it. If you get 0.0.0.0 even though you have a server
running Deckman on the network then finish the wizard, close
Deckman, restart Deckman and use configure comms again.

Two-boat telemetry across a network

This function allows you to receive two-boat data across a network. If
you are running a two-boat, networked version of Deckman then you
should have seen an extra line in dialog shown in Figure 11.1 above and,
after hitting Next when setting up the network, will be presented with
the dialog shown in Figure 11.3.

All PCs on one boat must be specified as Boat A, with all those on
another boat as Boat B.
