Sorry to post such a question, BUT I just cannot seem to get the stratus 3i to communicate w IFD
Does anyone have a simple way to have the IFD 540 receive input from Stratus 3i for ADSB The new software was loaded, acionis shop signed off setting up the wifi from stratus to the ifd is not understandable to a non computer mind like me There must be a simple way of doing it? Anyone with the exact steps and formula Please! |

1) Install Stratus Horizon on your iPad. 2) Power on the Stratus.3) Connect to the Stratus WiFi network. 4) Run Stratus Horizon. 5) Select the gear symbol in the bottom lower left corner. 6) Select Stratus Settings. 7) Make sure Open ADS-B mode is turned on. Insure, via your installer, that the ADS-B client mode has been enabled. 8) Boot up your IFD. 9) Select AUX->Setup tab. 10) Select Connectivity. 11) Select Networks. 12) Select the Stratus Network. 13) Select the Connect LSK. Observe whether the WIFI symbol is showing in the top right of the display. If connected, it should be green in color. If you want to connect your iPad, you’ll need to specifically allow its IP address on the Stratus network to have access to it. This is controlled via AUX->Setup->Connectivity->Devices. Find the IPad’s IP address from the settings app, WiFi selection, and then hit the “i” button with the circle around it. Find the IP address farther down on this page. That address should be set on the IFD to allow access “Always”. If you run ForeFlight on your iPad, you MUST always hit cancel each time it tries to convince you to switch the Stratus to “ForeFlight mode”. If you fail to do this, you must start at step 4 above. |

Thank you I will try this in the am Thursday I have Horizon on the ipad I think I understand that On IFD how can I see if the ADS B client mode is enabled? I do not use Foreflight, use Wing X IF and when I get this set up, will this allow ADS B weather on the IFD? Again sorry to be so naive…. |

The client mode is set, and can been seen, in maintenance mode. This would probably be something you can look at, but should not change, without a discussion with your avionics tech. I don’t use Wing-X so I can’t tell you whether this will work or not. |
