Configuring an Ethernet connection
The DATSS Operator Panel has been set up at the factory to connect to your DATSS
Processor Unit via Ethernet. However, if you are supplying your own computer,
you will need to set your computer’s Ethernet Port to a static IP address so that it
can communicate with the tablet. If you are using your own computer instead of a
factory-configured Processor Unit, refer to the procedure Setting up Ethernet on a new
PC before proceeding.
Prerequisites
• Your Sonar Head must be installed and the DATSS Software must be running. To run
the DATSS software, double-click the DATSS icon on the Processor Unit Windows
desktop.
• When you run the DATSS software, an Ethernet server should start running in the
background. You will not see the server launching. To make sure that the server is
running, open the Task Manager, select the Processes tab and look for the server in
the Background processes list.
• The wireless access point must be installed and powered on. Refer to the procedure
Installing the wireless access point and tablet.
Note
We do not recommend using the DATSS Operator Panel outside of the wheelhouse.
Procedure
1
Press and hold the Power key on the right side of the tablet to turn on the DATSS
Operator Panel.
Wait for the tablet to boot up. Observe that the Remote Control App opens
automatically.
If the app does not open automatically, tap the Remote Control App icon on the
tablet’s home screen.

Configuring a Bluetooth connection
You can set up a wireless connection through Bluetooth.
Prerequisites
• This procedure is made for the Microsoft® 64-bit Windows 10 operating system.
Attention
Wireless connectivity through Bluetooth is not available on Windows 7.

server is running, open the Task Manager, select the Processes tab and look for the
server in the Background processes list. Right-click on “BluetoothServer.exe” and
select End task to stop the server.
• If required, plug the provided Bluetooth dongle into a USB port on your DATSS
Processor Unit.
Note
You do not need the dongle if your computer is already Bluetooth
capable.
Context
Bluetooth creates a direct wireless connection between the tablet and computer (DATSS
Processor Unit) over short distances. When operating on Bluetooth, you do not have to
be in a visual line of site of the DATSS Processor Unit. However, the operating range
depends on a number of factors.
Note
We do not recommend using the DATSS Operator Panel outside of the wheelhouse.
Procedure
