3.0 Getting Started – Router Administration
As the onboard/onsite administrator, under normal operating conditions, you will seldom
have a need to interact with the user interface of the router. However, should you find
yourself in a position that requires you to login to the router, this Guide is designed to
help you.
Access the Optimizer User Interface
To access the Optimizer's user interface you must login to the router:
1. With power provided to the Optimizer, connect to the WiFi Hotspot created by the
router using a desktop or laptop computer. Connect to the WiFi Hotspot just like you
would any other WiFi connection:
On a Windows PC, go to: Windows Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
On a MAC, go to: Apple > System Preferences > Network
The Network Name will look something like: ‘wxa-112-XXXX’ where ‘XXXX’ may
represent the last four digits of the Optimizer Mac address. Select this wireless network.
2. Open any web browser on the computer and enter the URL: http://192.168.10.1
3. Login with the username = superadmin, password = webxaccess
This login gives you full access to the user interface. If you do not require full
access, there is an alternate login that provides limited access, restricted to use
of the optional RedPort Halo WiFi Extender. Alternate login: username = admin,
password = webxaccess
CAUTION: The Optimizer ships pre-configured for use with XGate satellite
email/data service and the optional RedPort Halo WiFi Extender. Tampering with any
settings that are not addressed in this Guide will violate the warranty and may render
the Optimizer inoperable.

Once logged in, you will see the Optimizer's Home screen.
Use the tabs to navigate through the user interface. You will see that the information
represented in the user interface can be quite technical. This Guide will cover only those
sections of the user interface that require configuration for a specific service or may
need to be accessed by the average user.
NOTE: An alternate method to access the user interface: With power to the
Optimizer, physically connect the Optimizer to your computer using a standard
ethernet cable in the Optimizer's LAN port and follow the directions above, starting
with Step 2, entering the URL http:192.168.10.1
NOTE: The WiFi Extender Setup section only displays when the optional RedPort
Halo WiFi Extender is physically connected to the Optimizer and powered ON.

4.0 Halo WiFi Extender
The Halo long-range WiFi extender system takes a weak WiFi signal – at a marina, for
example, or truck stop, basecamp, etc – and amplifies that signal and routes it through
the RedPort Optimizer WiFi hotspot. It has a marine enclosure designed for outside
installation. Install the WiFi Extender almost anywhere outside.
For your convenience, the Halo WiFi Extender Quick Start Guide can be found in
Appendix B of this document. It includes important information regarding the physical
connection setup.
4.1 Configure Connection to the Halo
With the Halo powered ON and connected to the Optimizer. Login to the Optimizer
router with either username = admin or with username = superadmin (see Section 3.0
Getting Started for details).
Configuration requires two steps to connect:
4.1.1 Step 1. Connect to the External WiFi Network
Select <Connect> button
CAUTION: Attach the antenna to the Halo body BEFORE powering the unit.
Powering the Halo without the antenna attached will damage the unit and may
render it inoperable.

Select <Scan> to see what wireless networks may be available.
Select the wireless network you want to connect to and press <Join Network>
Enter the password to access the external wireless network, if required. Select
<Submit>.
Notice the signal strength is 0% as you are not yet connected to the wireless network.
Select <Save & Apply> to tell the Halo to connect to that network.
Optimizer User’s Guide Copyright © Global Marine Networks, LLC Page 10 of 45
Notice that now the signal strength now registers greater than 0%.
Select the <Home> Tab to return to the Welcome screen.
4.1.2 Step 2. Route Network Traffic through the Halo
Select <Enable WiFi Extender>
NOTE: If the signal status is blinking from 0% to 100% this typically means that
the WiFi Network Password/Key was entered incorrectly. Check with the external
WiFi Network Administrator to confirm the correct password. Select the Wireless
Security tab and enter the correct password in the Key field and <Save & Apply>.
