B & G Vulcan 7 Network Security Key

[Norman_E]

Anyone know how to find it? I am storm-bound today, so tried to connect the new Vulcan to my PC. When I tried to connect it to the PC a search for available networks found the Vulcan and asked me to "enter the network security key"

I cannot find a key in the papers that came with it, and just hope its not on the back of the plotter, which is now totally inaccessible.

Can anyone give me a clue?

Under 'Wireless Setup', it describes a tablet but I imagine the process is the same.
Usually you can find wireless keys in the settings page of the Plotter itself.

P.s. Let me know what you think of it, I'm considering getting one.

On the vulcan 5 it took me a while to find the key - until I realised that you have to tap on the wireless network that comes up under wireless devices in the settings menu - which brings up the security key! The manual wasn't too helpful...
Hope that helps!

Thank you Ben. Same on the FS7. Now the problem is to get the Vulcan screen to display on the PC. On the i-Pad I am downloading a viewer from Navico, so I suppose I have to find the same thing for PC.

EDIT: Hooray, I have it working with the i-Pad, but there appears to be no software to link it with a PC.

As far as I am aware there isn't one, but if you do find it please let us know!

Yes, there is a key, which can be found exactly as Ben-M described.

Don't disagree (I have a similar set up) but I was referring to the PC software
