Power management page
The router has 2 power modes: Always on, and Low power (sleep). In low power (sleep) mode, the router’s power consumption is reduced. The router can be woken from low power mode when certain conditions are met.
Always onIn Always on mode, the router is fully powered and all connections are active.
Low power (sleep) mode:
Low power modeSleep modeIn Low power mode the router is placed into a low power state, and the router’s Wi-Fi connections are disabled.
When Low power mode is enabled, the router will commence a 2 minute countdown. If no condition that can wake the router is detected within the 2 minute countdown, the router will enter low power mode.
Conditions that can wake the router or prevent the router entering Low power mode are:
a powered on Axiom® or Axiom® 2 MFD is connected to the router.
the Raymarine app is used to access the router. This requires the router to be connected to your cloud account via the Raymarine app using a cellular connection.
an alert notification is triggered. Alerts are configured from the Alert notifications page.
a device such as a switch is used which is connected to one of the router’s input channels (Channels 1 to 4). This requires the relevant input channel to be enabled under Also wake on.
a user connects to the router’s web interface.
a software update is in progress.
When the router is in Low power mode, the power LED will flash green once every 3 seconds and the router will wake every 15 minutes to send data to the Raymarine cloud for telemetry and geofencing purposes. Once the data is sent, the router will re-enter Low power mode, unless a wake condition is met.
If a compatible MFD is switched on while the router is in Low power mode, when the router wakes to send telemetry data it will not switch back to low power mode.
When the router receives a wake condition it will usually take a couple of minutes for the router to resume full power mode.
Powering other devices
The router’s output channels (Channels 5 to 8) can be used to power on connected devices or systems. To power the connected device when the router is woken from lower power mode, tick the relevant output channel in the Power management page.
