13.6. Furuno MFD Integration
13.6.1. Introduction
This chapter explains how to connect to Furuno MFDs using an Ethernet connection.
Make sure to also study the
Marine MFD Integration by App [73]
Note that there is an alternative method to connect, which is NMEA 2000. See the NMEA 2000 chapter in the main manual.
Currently Furuno MFDs only have support for fluid level PGNs sent out by Victron equipment.
13.6.2. Compatibility
The MFD integration is compatible with the following Furuno MFDs:
• NavNet TZtouch3 TZT12F
• NavNet TZtouch3 TZT16F
• NavNet TZtouch3 TZT19F
• Navnet TZtouch2 TZT2BB Black box
Note that NavNet TZtouch3 MFDs need at least software version v1.08. The Navnet TZtouch2 TZT2BB needs at least software
version v7.01.
Also note that the Navnet TZtouch2 TZTL models are not supported.
From Victron side, all GX devices (Cerbo GX, Color Control GX, Venus GX, and so forth) can be used and are compatible. For
details on detailed product compatibility with regarding to inverter/chargers and other components, see the main
Integration by App [73]
chapter.
13.6.3. Wiring
The Furuno device needs to be connected to the GX device using Ethernet. Its not possible to connect over WiFi. For the
Ethernet connection, a standard Ethernet cable can be used. The GX device can either be connected directly to the MFD or
through a network router/switch.
13.6.4. Configuration
Ethernet configuration
On the Victron GX device, make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected and then go to Settings → Ethernet and set the
following configuration:
Setting
IP configuration
Manual
IP address
172.31.201.12
Netmask
255.255.0.0
Gateway
0.0.0.0 or the IP address of the router in your network
DNS Server
0.0.0.0 or the IP address of the router in your network
It is possible to connect a router to the same LAN; and that way connect the GX device to the internet. Make sure
the Gateway and DNS Server settings of the GX are set to the IP address of the router, and that the router has its LAN IP
addressing configured in the same subnet.
