MConnect - Quick Install Guide
1. Connect Power
The Power Cord is included in the box. MConnect requires 9-30 V DC at 1.5 A. The wire colors are:
Black : +ve
Brown : -ve
Blue : not used
A red LED on the top of the box will show when power is connected and will change to green/yellow when the program
starts (this will take 10-20 seconds).
2. Connect to NMEA 2000 network.
Two networks may be connected. They will not be bridged by MConnect, but will be treated as a single logical network,
i.e. Instance numbers must be unique across both networks. The unit will work using demo data without an NMEA 2000
connection; all the demo data uses instances 100 through 104. Green LEDs on the top of the box will flash when NMEA
2000 data is being received.
3. Connect Ethernet Cable
MConnect does not have a DHCP server, so it should be connected directly to a Router. The "LAN" LED will flash when
the Ethernet is connected.
4. The MConnect URL
MConnect supports mDNS. Typing the URL mconnect.local in a web browser on a PC / Mac / tablet should resolve to the
IP Address of the box.
