Configuring a WiFi Network
If you have your own WiFi network, you can configure the HDTE to automatically connect to it. If no WiFi network is configured, the HDTE automatically turns itself into a WiFi access point.

Sensor Configuration
Learn how to configure the sensor settings.
- Installing Mosa2
  If Mosa2 is not already installed on the computer, you need to install it to configure the sensor.
- Connecting the Sensor to Mosa2
  To configure the sensor, you need to connect it to Mosa2.
- Configuring a WiFi Network
  If you have your own WiFi network, you can configure the HDTE to automatically connect to it. If no WiFi network is configured, the HDTE automatically turns itself into a WiFi access point.
- Sounding Modes
  The sensor can send pings according to three different sounding modes.
- Configuring Uplink, Up and Down Settings
  You can configure different settings for uplink, down and up sounding.
- Configuring Measurements Sending Sequence
  You can configure the order and types of measurements (e.g. temperature, pitch, roll...) sent by the uplink to the receiver.
- Getting SD Card High Resolution Data
  You can download and replay data recorded on the sensor SD card. These data are in higher resolution and you can see target strength values without uplink sound transmission loss.
- Testing Measures
  You can test the measures taken by the sensor (e.g. battery level, temperature, depth) to check that there are no faults.
- Exporting Sensor Configuration for Record Keeping
  You can export the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2 in order to keep track of the sensor configuration settings.
- Exporting Sensor Configuration for Receiver
  You can export the sensor settings you configured on Mosa2 in an xml file. You can afterwards use this xml file when adding the sensor to a receiver.

Configuring a WiFi Network

If you have your own WiFi network, you can configure the HDTE to automatically connect to it. If no WiFi network is configured, the HDTE automatically turns itself into a WiFi access point.

Before you begin

The sensor is connected to Mosa2.

About this task

Note: The sensor can only connect to a WiFi network (such as your vessel internal network) set up in DHCP. If the WiFi network is configured manually (fixed IP), the sensor cannot connect to it. The sensor will only be able to connect to Mosa2 as a WiFi access point. When you are connected to the sensor as WiFi access point, you cannot connect at the same time to another WiFi network.

Procedure

From Mosa2, click the tab User settings.
From Host WiFi network enter the SSID (name of WiFi network) and key (WiFi network password).
Leave these fields empty if you want the sensor to only connect as a WiFi access point.
From the right side of Host WiFi network, click validate once you have finished.
Activate and deactivate the water switch to reboot the sensor in order to save the configuration changes.

Results

At the next start of the HDTE, it will connect to the configured WiFi network. If your computer is connected to this WiFi network, the sensor will appear in Mosa2 from Available Inputs.
