ODN Deck Setup

Get your deck unit online

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Set up an ODN deck unit in minutes: connect it to the vessel's Wi-Fi or to its own SIM card, then check that its data is reaching ODN. ODN Deck Setup gets the deck units of the Ocean Data Network online. A deck unit is the box on a fishing vessel that collects the readings of the ODN sensors on its gear and sends them to ODN. This app connects it to the internet, so its data reaches ODN on its own. HOW IT WORKS 1. Put the deck unit into setup mode with a magnet. The app shows you how. 2. Your phone connects to the deck unit's temporary Wi-Fi network. 3. Choose how the deck unit should send its data: • Wi-Fi: pick the vessel's network and enter its password. • Mobile data: enter the APN of the deck unit's own SIM card. 4. Watch the deck unit's lights. The app asks what they did and shows only the advice that applies. 5. Check that it is uploading: enter the deck unit's ID to see when its latest file reached ODN, and its battery level. MADE FOR LIFE ON DECK • Seven languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic. • Warns you about Wi-Fi networks the deck unit may not be able to join, such as 5 GHz ones. • Your Wi-Fi password goes only to the deck unit, never to ODN. • No account, no sign-in, no ads and no tracking. WHAT YOU NEED An ODN deck unit made by ZebraTech, a strong magnet, and either the vessel's Wi-Fi name and password or the APN of the deck unit's SIM card. ABOUT ODN The Ocean Data Network works with fishers to turn fishing vessels into ocean-observing platforms. Find out more at oceandata.net.
