Powering up the DataHub
DataHub can be powered with either the supplied AC/DC power supply or directly from the vessel’s
house battery bank. The unit requires 9-60 VDC and is reverse polarity protected. The centre pin of the
power connector is positive.
To wire the DataHub directly to the vessel’s house battery, start by cutting the power lead o of the
supplied AC/DC adapter. Connect a 1 amp fuse to the positive power lead (The black wire is positive, the
wire with a white stripe is negative) and wire to the vessel’s switch panel. Before powering the DataHub
use a voltmeter to ascertain that the centre pin in the connector has a positive voltage. Reversing the
polarity on the connector will not damage the DataHub, but it will prevent it from powering on.
You will notice a blue status LED on the top of the unit illuminates when the unit is correctly powered on.

Accessing the Web User Interface
Once powered on, the DataHub needs to be configured to select the GPS data source, establish an
internet connection, enable and set the tracking interval, and secure its WiFi with a password.
Before you can start the configuration process, you must first establish a connection either via Ethernet or
WiFi to log in to the web administrative interface.
The DataHub web interface is mobile friendly and supports all popular web browsers.
The DataHub advertises itself via WiFi with an SSID PW-Hub-XXXX where XXXX is an alphanumeric
sequence specific to the device. By default, the DataHub WiFi is unprotected. As part of the configuration
process, you may change the SSID of the unit and encrypt and password protect the unit. Procedures for
assigning a password are discussed later on in the Securing DataHub section of this document.
To WiFi connect to the DataHub scan for available access point SSIDs and select the one that
corresponds to your unit. The following image depicts the process for Mac OS X. Other OS’s use a similar
process.

To access the unit via a wired connection, run an ethernet cable between the RJ45 port on your laptop
computer and the LAN port on the DataHub. The LAN port is the RJ45 port closest to the power
connector.
To login to the DataHub’s administrative web
page, open a web browser and browse to
http://10.10.10.1
You should see a login page pop up in your
browser. Login with the default details below.

Configuring the DataHub
A GPS feed, an internet connection, and tracking at minimum need to be configured to allow the tracking
of your vessel on your tracking and blogging page at PredictWind.
Once logged into DataHub’s administrative
website, browse to Services > NMEA to
configure the GPS feed.
On a mobile device, you do this by clicking on
the Hamburger Icon on the top left of the
page and under Services selecting NMEA. On
a laptop with a larger display area, you will see
the Services menu on the left.
Configuring the GPS feed
Use the Source pull-down menu to select the GPS source. If using the built-in GPS, make sure that the
DataHub is installed with the supplied GPS antenna and with good access to the GPS signal.
The built-in GPS in the DataHub should only be used if you do not have an NMEA 2000 instrument
system with external GPS. By interfacing with the NMEA 2000 instrumentation (with the optional
PredictWind Cable/Tee) you will also be able to transmit Wind Speed and Direction from your
instrumentation so friends and family can see the conditions you are experiencing. Note: An externally
mounted GPS will be more accurate.

If using your vessels NMEA 2000 network (recommended), then connect the optional device cable from
the M12 connector on the back of the DataHub to a tee on your NMEA 2000 backbone. NMEA 2000
device cables and tees can be purchased directly from PredictWind with your DataHub order.
Once connected to the NMEA 2000 network, select NMEA 2000 on CAN0 as the GPS source.
Using NMEA 2000 for GPS
Selecting the Status tab in the NMEA section
will display live GPS data as it streams into the
device.
ACTIVE under Status means that you have
valid GPS data. A Status of VOID indicates
that NO or invalid GPS data is being received.
Please confirm that you are indeed getting
valid GPS data before proceeding.

One of the nice features of the DataHub is that it will broadcast NMEA0183 data via WiFi regardless of the
GPS input source. This WiFi broadcast allows external navigation applications such as Aqua Map, GPS
Nav X, Navionics Boating etc to use your vessel’s GPS for navigation. This results in much more accurate
GPS data with the addition of other NMEA 2000 data such as wind speed and direction, depth, etc.
NMEA0183 data is broadcast by default via UDP on port 11101 and TCP on port 11102. The ports are user
selectable and can be changed under Settings in the NMEA configuration section.
To configure your charting application to use DataHub generated data, please refer to the software
documentation for the software. You will need to configure the following:
Host: 10.10.10.1
Protocol: UDP or TCP
Port number: 11101 (for UDP) or 11102 (for TCP)
WiFi connection between mobile or laptop and DataHub.
