Adding the Sensor to the Receiver

You need to add the sensors to the receiver using the system web page.

About this task

Important: To be able to add your sensor to the receiver, make sure your receiver version is compatible. Check System Compatibility.
Note: Marport systems are limited to a fixed number of channels, and the sensors use a specific number of channels based on the type of data they send. The Trident uses 1 sounder channel, then one PPM channel per measure (e.g. depth, temperature,…).

Procedure

  1. From Scala2, click Menu > Expert Mode and enter the password copernic.
  2. Right-click the IP address of the receiver at the bottom of the page, then click Configure Receiver.
