![]() After reading all of the posts in this thread, I quickly determined that I have been missing something great by not having previously joined AC, but I remedied that today and look forward to contributing. I am new to this group, having found my way here via a reference to Jeff that Ben Ellison made in a Panbo article on the Garmin wifi adapter. This will likely be a weekend to test my patience! rem1473 Posts: 8 Joined: Thu 5:50 pm City: Strongsville State/Province: OH I am going to set up a Linux laptop to listen to the packets while I fire up the Garmin network to see if I can figure out what's happening before I do anything. These are my speculations without any actual experimentation yet. Only Garmin knows a good block of IP's that can be reserved and will never be used by their own devices. ![]() I may find an IP/netmask combo that works for me, while on another network with other Garmin devices, that IP might be used by another device, which would make it not work. Although I warn that my config may only work for me. If I do get any progress, I'll be happy to post my config. Although if you have 3g on, you might be able to? That means you can never have one network where you can simultaneously browse the internet and update your plotter waypoints with BCM. If the iPad needs to be assigned an address outside that block, then any router is going to prevent the iPad from being on the Internet at large. I am guessing that Garmin is using a fixed IP address block that are outside the Private address blocks specified by RFC 1918 and RFC 4193. Garmin is saying that you can never bridge the Garmin Network to the Public Internet. I wish Apple sold a 30pin to ethernet adapter so I could take any wireless variables out of the equation while I experiment. Once I get an IP address that is known to work, I can configure a more robust solution by flipping on the DHCP in the PicoStation and configuring the DHCP pool with valid IP's and the correct netmask length. I might start with the DHCP off in the PicoStation and fix the IP address of the iPad. It's got to assign an IP address (and netmask) that is inside the subnet of the Garmin Network. ![]() I am guessing the real tricky part is getting the DHCP in the PicoStation to assign the correct information to the iPad. I'll have to check it when I get to the boat tonight. I like to experiment! I don't have radar or a network sounder, so it sounds like I should be fine with which ever PicoStation that I have. I am just looking for a starting point right now, I completely understand that I am not going to get support on this venture. rem1473 Posts: 8 Joined: Thu 5:50 pm City: Strongsville State/Province: OH Can you mask the radar without masking the plotter(s)? Again, I don't yet know enough about Garmin network topology to speak intelligently about it. I still don't know anything about the topology of the Garmin TCP network, but I wonder if you can use a netmask to filter out the IP address of your radar. ![]() I wear my AC hat proudly! Thanks for the good work on a great WebApp. Once I get the IP address block, I'll fix the IP address of the PicoStation on the same subnet.ĪctiveCaptain: looking forward to some assistance. If someone can tell me that I am on the right track to discovery though, I would appreciate it. What I am proposing should not fry anything. I have not tried this yet, as I really don't want to futz up my plotters. I think if I fix my laptop IP, and set the netmask to either 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255, and then do a broadcast ping, I can find other IP addresses on the network. I was considering jacking in my laptop to the network. I would like to get the IP address block to get started. While I am not a TCP/IP & Wifi Zen master, I do know enough to be dangerous. My PicoStation came with an 120v AC injector. I'd like to know where to get that 12v POE injector though. It's a really nice device! I hope that I can get it to extend my Garmin network into the air and to BCM on the iPad.īaz: not seeing much help on that Panbo post, other then verifying that the PicoStation is what Garmin is selling. I purchased a PicoStation a few months ago.
