NavNet Installation Guide Version 1.06 READ ME FIRST! This document is being included with your NavNet Display as a supplement to the standard Installation Manual. -If your NavNet System is already installed and operational, this document will not be required. -If you only need help configuring the software of the NavNet System, please begin at Section 4.

In any single NavNet, a combination of up to five Furuno NavNet Network Components may be connected to each other(Up to Four Displays and One Network Sounder). All NavNet Network Components have one integrated 10BASE-T Ethernet port.
Page 3
When two NavNet Ethernet components are connected together, a single cable may connect the Network Components. Refer to the list below for the appropriate length cable. Utilizing any of the Furuno “6 Pin-to-6 Pin” Network Cables listed below is the simplest way to network any two NavNet Network components.
Page 4
Utilize one “Furuno Hub Adapter Cable” for each NavNet Component. A Hub Adapter Cable is a 0.5 Meter Cable that will convert the 6 pin Furuno Plug to a Male RJ45 connector. This RJ45 connector will then plug directly into any 10BASE-T Hub.

Dealer Supplied CAT5 Cables, RJ45 Connectors & Ethernet Hub This type of installation requires the use of Furuno Display Adapter Cables. It is possible to create a NavNet that only uses display adapter cables if the hub is mounted very close to the NavNet Displays and Network Sounder.

C. Attach One Furuno “Display Adapter Cable” to Each NavNet Display and Network Sounder. Connect the Adapter Cables to the RJ45 Couplers. The Furuno Display Adapter Cable is a 0.5m cable with a female 6 pin connector on one end and a male RJ45 connector on the opposite end.

B. Use Quality RJ45 Crimping Tools and Thoroughly Inspect All RJ45 Crimps – Follow the Crimping Procedures listed in our www resources for more information. C. Only “Straight Through” Cable Sections Are Required – When using Furuno “Display Adapter Cables” in a multi-component NavNet System, only “Straight Through”...

When NavNet Products use a Network Hub, we say that the configuration of the network is a “Star”, where the Hub is the central location. Furuno recommends using 4, 5, or 6 port 10BASE-T hubs because they consume low amounts of power, are widely available throughout the world, and are physically small in size to simplify mounting.

D. Approved Ethernet 10BASE-T Hubs and Hub Information Furuno will only specify 4, 5, or 6, port Ethernet 10BASE-T hubs that we have tested and can be powered directly from the +12VDC Output of any NavNet Display. However, technically, any Ethernet 10BASE-T or 10/100BASE-T Hub is compatible with NavNet Products.

Section 4 - Easy 4 Step NavNet Software Settings ATTENTION INSTALLERS : READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE YOU INSTALL AND CONFIGURE ALL NAVNET DISPLAYS! In order to simplify all NavNet Software Settings and avoid confusion, we strongly recommend that NavNet Installation Software Settings be performed in the following steps: NOTE: This procedure differs slightly from the one contained in the current NavNet Installation Manuals.

Section 5 - Network Settings for Multiple Display NavNets Since NavNet products use ethernet 10Base-T networking protocol, each unit works as a “Node” in the NavNet network. When two or more NavNet components (Including The Network Sounder) are networked together, the IP Address, Host Name, etc must all be coordinated for each unit in the network.

Port NavNet Radar/Plotter Display Starboard NavNet Plotter Display C-MAP, FURUNO and Navionics Chart information may be distributed through the network, but you must have a C-map display to view C-MAP cartography, and a Navionics display to view Navionics cartography. Page 14...

In the sample NavNet Network below, there are 3 displays and a network sounder. Note that the RADAR SOURCE of the GD-1900C may be set to either the 1722C or the M1933C, but not both. M1933C 1722C GD-1900C DON’T ALTER “NETWORK SOUNDER SETUP”! One Network Sounder will “Plug &...

-For further information on this modification contact the Furuno Technical Department. -Furuno USA will modify any GP36 to Sensor Mode “Free of Charge” when any FUSA Dealer specifies “SENSOR MODE” operation for a GP36 order. Please provide this request to the FUSA Camas/Denton Order Service Departments.

Heading information may be connected to any NavNet display. The NavNet displays will accept both AD-10 FURUNO heading data, or NMEA 0183 HDM or HDG sentence. The NavNet display will automatically detect the presence of heading and send it to every other display in the network.

Smart Sensor Installation Example #2 – Modifying or Cutting the Smart Sensor Cable for Connection to DATA3/DATA4 This method utilizes the existing Smart Sensor 7 pin connector or a 000-144-418 cable to allow connection to the DATA3/DATA4 7 pin connector. The existing Smart Sensor Connector may also be used for connection to DATA3/DATA4 instead of the 000-144- 418 Cable.

Smart Sensor Installation Example #4 – NavNet Display(s) with RD30 Using DATA3/DATA4 Connections Using the RD30 directly connected to the Smart Sensor provides a “Stand-Alone” Digital Depth/Temperature/Water Speed(TM Only) Indicator and a secondary multifunction display. -Additional RD30 Displays may be added to each NavNet Display and the NMEA0183 Data to additional RD30s can either be taken from the RD30 output or from an NMEA0183 Port on any NavNet Display.

G. NETWORK SOUNDER(BBFF1) AND SMART SENSOR SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Any NavNet Display can have a Network Sounder (BBFF1) and also receive Smart Sensor digital depth and temperature information simultaneously. However, you must select the “Source” of the digital depth and temperature information that will be shown on each individual NavNet Display in a network.
