After reading Chapter 1, you need to clarify what type of network the tracker will be connected to:
For setup on a DHCP Network follow instructions in Chapter 2
For setup on a static IP Network follow instructions in Chapter 3
Chapter 1: Havian Tracker General Information

The Havian Tracker is an embedded computer that has dual Ethernet and RS-232 ports.
LAN 1 port is configured for DHCP usage and LAN2 is configured for Static IP.
The unit takes GPS/AIS data from the Nav desk and sends it out directly over the internet.
It only needs a power supply, data connection (GPS/AIS) and a direct connection to the internet.
Chapter 2: Setup for DHCP Network (most common)
If you are connecting the Tracker to a DHCP Network, you need to follow these steps:
Connect the tracker (LAN1) to a network connection with internet access
Connect GPS to port Serial Port 1
Optional: Connect AIS to Serial port P2
Attach power adaptor
Check tracker LED status - you should now see three LED lights:
Power light on (green) = Power connection is ok
RX light on (green/yellow/) = Tracker receives a signal from GPS/AIS
User light on (green/yellow) = Tracker is successfully connected to the internet
If you have access to a live project in Project Manager, then go to the vessel timing logging area, and select the Map tab. You should now see your live vessel position. If you don’t have access to a project, then please email support@havian.com to confirm a successful setup.
Chapter 3: Setup for a Static IP Network
If you are connecting the Tracker to a Static IP Network, you need to follow these steps:
Connect an ethernet cable from LAN2 port on the Tracker to the Ethernet port that has just been configured on the PC (see “Setting a static IP in Windows” in Chapter 6 below)
Attach power adaptor, and wait for the 'Power' LED to light up
Open a web browser and go to URL: http://192.168.4.127/ (Tracker’s default IP on LAN2)
Login to the web interface (see Chapter 5) with username and password “user”
Check if the details entered within “NMEA Serial”, “Proxy Details” and “Network Configuration” are correct, then “Save”
Disconnect the power and ethernet cables from the Tracker
Revert the computers LAN port settings back to the original values
Connect an ethernet cable from LAN2 on the Tracker directly to the vessel network
Connect the onboard GPS to port P1
Optional: connect the onboard AIS to port P2
Attach power adaptor
Check tracker LED status - you should now have 3 LED lights
Power light (green) = Power connection is ok
RX light (green/yellow/) = Tracker receives a signal from GPS/AIS
User light (green/yellow) = Tracker is successfully connected to the internet
If you have access to a live project in Project Manager, then go to the vessel timing logging area, and select the map tab. You should see your live vessel position. If you don’t have access to a project, then please email support@havian.com and we will check it for you.
Chapter 4: Troubleshooting
No “User” LED light on the Tracker device means that the Tracker cannot access the internet
•Check if you have a connection to a network with internet access
•Check if you are on a DHCP or Static IP network
•If Static IP network, check your Proxy details setup. (Chapter 3 above)
•The tracker requires https protocol (port 443) and access to 217.144.73.74. Check that these are enabled on your network
No “RX” LED light on the Tracker device and how to check status means that the tracker is not receiving GPS (or AIS) signals
Open the “Status” page on the Tracker’s web interface (see Chapter 5 below for login)
If GPS (or AIS) data is missing it will look similar to the screengrab below. First check Serial port cable connection. If no success check NMEA settings in the Tracker web interface as described next.
Tracker not receiving data, or no vessel track in Havian Project Manager
If no RX LED light, or even if the Tracker RX LED light is on, GPS data may not be received if the Havian default baud rate settings aren’t matching the baud rate of the GPS (or AIS). These settings can be configured in the web interface, see Chapter 5 below. Havian Tracker default baud rate values are (“Type” should always be RS232):
GPS port (P1) configured at 4800 baud, but can be changed to match the GPS
AIS port (P2) configured at 38400 baud, but can be changed to match the AIS

Still no vessel track?
Check If the NMEA source is adding checksums to the NMEA data
The Tracker requires that the NMEA sentences end with a checksum.
This is a two bytes field after an asterisk (i.e. *AB).
Check the configuration of the NMEA source and enable checksums.
Do you suspect that the cable could be broken?
Check the cable with a terminal program like HyperTerminal or similar using the same baud rate settings as the tracker. You should see NMEA data on the screen when the cable is connected.
Chapter 5: The Web Interface
If the Tracker is on a Static IP network, open a web browser and enter the IP address given to the Tracker. You will then get access to the Web Interface, here you can control and change settings. Login to the web interface with username and password “user”
If the Tracker is on a DHCP network and you are not able to locate the Tracker IP address, contact support on support@havian.com, and we will identify the IP for you. We can also control and change the necessary settings for you.
Please remember to power off/on the tracker after saving/applying any setup changes

Chapter 6: Setting a Static IP in Windows
Hit "Windows Key + R" on your keyboard
Type ncpa.cpl in the run dialogue and hit “Enter”
Right-click on your active LAN and click ‘Properties’
In the General tab, highlight the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IP), and click Properties. This opens the TCP/IP Properties window
Configure as per image below with IP: 192.168.4.120 / 255.255.255.0
We highly recommend making note of the existing settings, as the original settings
will be required to regain access to your local network after the setup is complete
Click OK to close each window
Restart your computer (may not be necessary)
Finally go back to Chapter 3: Setup for a Static IP Network, and follow instructions
