interference to the GoFree device by another RF device transmitting
in the same frequency band.

Tools are available within the NSO-II 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 NSO-II
must be running Iperf server before initiating the test from the tablet.
Once completed results similar to the following should appear;
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 DHCP servers on a network, dhcp_probe may be run from the NSO-II,
which will show results similar to the following when another dhcp server is found;
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.
