CHAPTER 3 - INSTALLATION 3.1. DEVICE INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION The Device requires no maintenance. When deciding where to install the Device, choose a dry mounting location. Do not place the Device where it can be flooded by water or exposed to rain or water spray. -
Page 9: Connecting To Converter
The internal web site of the Ethernet Converter should be opened. Use login admin and password admin to enter the administrative web site. In case of a wrong password please contact our support at support@locomarine.com It is possible that the connection will not be established due to network settings or you will open some other device in a web browser instead of the Ethernet Converter. Even in case of a successful connection, we strongly recommend you to read this entire Section to the end and change factory settings. -

CHAPTER 5 - CONVERTER SETTINGS 5.1. CONFIGURATION OF APPLICATION PROTOCOLS Most marine applications support both TCP and UDP network protocols. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. This means that the receiver must confirm reception of data before it gets the next packet of data, otherwise the sender repeats the transmission after a timeout. So, the second TCP connection doubles the network traffic and CPU load, despite the fact that both clients receive the same data. -

CHAPTER 5 - CONVERTER SETTINGS Server #3 also supports the Debug and Memory data protocols. The Debug protocol is designed to diagnose hardware or software issues. The Memory protocol allows export of the vessel’s data from an internal memory to GPX (tracks), CSV (spreadsheets) or XML formats. With the factory settings, Converter has Server #1 enabled and pre-configured use of TCP port 1456 and the NMEA 0183 data protocol. - Page 14 CHAPTER 5 - CONVERTER SETTINGS The difference in the last two modes is that autopilot not only maintains the right direction to the waypoint, but also tries to follow the line from the previous to the next waypoint. Note that Converter server port must be configured to work in both directions (Bidirectional in factory settings) to allow control of autopilot from the application.
- Page 15 CHAPTER 5 - CONVERTER SETTINGS It is impossible to switch from Track mode to Auto when the application controls the autopilot, because it will return it to the Track mode after a 5-second delay. To take control in an emergency, switch the autopilot to Standby mode.
- Page 16 CHAPTER 5 - CONVERTER SETTINGS Syntax of NMEA 2000 (RAW protocol) filters You should be familiar with the NMEA 2000 Standard (can be purchased from National Marine Electronics Association, www.nmea.org) to operate with NMEA 2000 filters. These filters actually contain pairs of 29-bit message identifiers and a mask. The identifier is compared by processing the NMEA 2000 message identifier and the second value (mask) defines the comparison concerning which bits are significant.

CHAPTER 6 - WEB GAUGE SETUP 6.1. WEB GAUGES OF ADMINISTRATIVE WEB SITE The Web Gauges page (WG) allow real time viewing of vessel data using a web browser on PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone and can replace instrument displays. You can open the WG using the link on the logon page of the Converter’s administrative web site (no authorization is required) or, if you are logged in, using the Web Gauges menu item. -

CHAPTER 7 - NMEA2000 AND NMEA0183 7.1. NMEA 2000 MESSAGES SUPPORTED BY CONVERTER The Converter can pass any message from NMEA 2000 to a PC application and in the opposite direction. No in the table below means that the Device will not process these messages during service communication with other devices on the network. - Page 19 CHAPTER 7 - NMEA2000 AND NMEA0183 127488 Engine Parameters, Rapid Update RPM, XDR, DIN, PGN 127489 Engine Parameters, Dynamic XDR, DIN DIN and PGN are wrap NMEA 2000 messages according SeaSmart (v1.6.0) and MiniPlex 127493 Transmission Parameters, Dynamic DIN, PGN (v2.0) specifications.
