Setting up Plane Plotter on a 3 Mi-Fi device

The first thing you need to do is to determine the IP address of the Mi-Fi device.
Use the  ipconfig  command from the command prompt, and look for the address
of the Default Gateway device:

C:\>ipconfig

Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

        Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
        IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100
        Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

In this example, it's 192.168.1.1  Convert that into a URL by adding http://, and 
enter it into your Web Browser:

  http://192.168.1.1

You should be rewarded with the opening page of your Mi-Fi device.  This is what mine looked like:

Enter the Admin password, and press the Log in button.
You should get the screen below.

You will get a set of choices listed on the left-hand side of the screen, 
and you want the Security option.  Click on it.

Now click on the Special Applications icon, and you should get a set 
of options to add a special application, and a list of any existing apps.

Complete the details for the new Plane Plotter Mlat application:

Name:  PP Mlat
Status: On
Trigger port: 9742
Trigger protocol: UDP
Open port: 9742
Open protocol: UDP

and click on the Ok button.

You should now be able to complete the Plane Plotter, Test Networking, Check GS/MU functions.
