Please check if the easyTRX3 WiFi network “easyTRX3_xxxxx” is visible with your PC/Laptop/mobilephone.
Also check if not regular reboot of the easyTRX3 happens.
You can see it when all LEDs light up regulary.
If you see regular reboot, please check your power wires.
Note that the easyTRX3-Manager app does not keep alive in background.
It is just used for programming and diagnose of the easyTRX3.
If you close app, press Home-button or lock your phone, the app disconnects from easyTRX3.
But that does not mean that you don´t get AIS-/GPS data.
The app is not required for this.
If you use an AIS app please get sure that it is able to get AIS data by TCP/IP.
Use IP 192.168.16.254 and Port 8080 within that app.
