Yacht Divices NMEA 2000 Ethernet Gateway.
The Gateway connects navigation PCs and laptops to NMEA 2000 via Ethernet, Garmin Marine Network, Raymarine SeaTalk HS and RayNet, Furuno NavNet or NMEA OneNet, and allows bridging NMEA 2000 networks.
The gateway is equipped with a standard Ethernet RJ45 connector, and you may need a proprietary adapter to connect it to your vessel's network; direct connection to PC with standard computer cable is also supported.
The device provides NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 data streams using TCP and/or UDP protocols, and has a bidirectional converter between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000. This allows navigation data, including AIS, to be viewed and NMEA equipment, including autopilots, to be virtually managed. all maritime software, e.g. OpenCPN (NMEA 0183 only) and Expedition 10 (both NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 protocols are supported). The Gateway has three data servers (TCP/UDP), allowing customized settings for different applications.
The Web Meters page of the built-in Web site allows you to manage digital switching devices and view real-time vessel data using a Web browser on PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone; no Internet connection or app installation is required. If you have Internet access to your boat's Ethernet network, web meters are a turnkey solution for monitoring and managing your vessel.
The built-in Web site also allows configuration of the gateway and firmware updates, and also allows you to view NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 data streams directly from a Web browser for diagnostics. The Gateway automatically records your track with weather, depth and other data (same as Wi-Fi Router) to internal memory (up to 12000 points). This data can be saved from the internal site into GPX (for Garmin MapSource, Google Earth or other mapping applications) or CSV (spreadsheet) files.
If the Gateway has an Internet connection, it can automatically upload recorded data to Cloud Service. Cloud Service provides easy access to your tracks or monitor your boat from home and allows you to share your position with family and friends.
Please note that the Ethernet cable does not come with the Gateway. Direct connection to a PC or Garmin Marine Network requires a regular RJ45 Male-Male Cat 5e/6 cable. For Raymarine RayNet, use cables with Raymarine part numbers A62360, A80151, A80159; for Raymarine SeaTalk HS, use cables with part numbers E55049, E55050, E55051.
