. 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.
. Section 1 - Explanation of the NavNet Concept NavNet (Furuno Navigation Network) products are the first Furuno products that utilize TCP/IP protocol over standard 10BASE-T Ethernet to share radar/chart/sounder images and other navigation information from devices connected within a networked system. 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).
. Section 2 - The Three NavNet Cabling Options & CAT5/RJ45 Installation Notes • Option #1 – “Point-to-Point” With Two NavNet Components Network Cable OR Any NavNet Display Any NavNet Display Network Sounder (BBFF1) 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.
. • Option #2 – Furuno Network Cables With Ethernet Hubs Example of NavNet Installation Using Furuno 6-Pin Female-to-Female Cables and Furuno Hub Adapter Cables (6-Pin Male to RJ45 Male) Connect RJ45M Directly to Hub as Shown 6F 6F 6F Network Sounder 6F 6F 6F 6F 6F 6M 6M 6M 6M RJ-45M Dealer Supplied Ethernet Hub RJ-45M RJ-45M RJ-45M Hub Adapter Cable P/N 000-144-463 This cabling option allows Furuno NavNet Cables to be utilized for any NavNet when an Ethernet 10BASE-T Hub is required for

. NavNet CAT5 Cable Installation Steps: A. Pre-Wire the NavNet Installation with CAT5 or CAT5e Cable. Crimp Male RJ45 Connectors to each end of the CAT5 Cable in a “Straight” Wiring Configuration. Run CAT5 from each Display or Network Sounder in the NavNet to the location where the hub will be mounted. B. Attach a Female-to-Female RJ45 Inline Coupler to the Display or Sounder CAT5 Cable End. This RJ45 “Straight” Inline Coupler can be purchased at CompUSA or at other vendors.
. C. Stranded or Solid Core CAT5 Cable is OK – For Cable lengths of up to 50 meters, Stranded Core CAT5 Cable is OK and might be more suitable for high vibration installations on smaller vessels. Solid Core CAT5 is also OK and should be used on cable runs longer than 50 meters from a NavNet Display or Network Sounder to an Ethernet Hub. Never exceed 80 Meters on a CAT5 cable run. D.

. SECTION 3 – Ethernet Hubs and Hub Power A. General Ethernet 10BASE-T Hub Information Furuno NavNet Network Components utilize standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 10BASE-T Ports. This simply means that any Ethernet 10BASE-T Hub can be utilized for NavNet Products. Every Ethernet 10BASE-T Hub has multiple connection ports for individual network connections. 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.
. STEP #2 – Use a terminal strip to connect the Hub Power Cable to the NavNet 12VDC Output Cable. Choose a “Primary NavNet” Display to use for Hub Power. This display will have to be turned on for the Hub to work! NavNet display 7-Pin Furuno Cable 000-144-418 Use 12VDC output from DATA3 Port on 7” LCD & 10” CRT Displays or DATA4 Port on 10.
. C. Weatherproofing The Ethernet Hub Depending on the mounting location for the hub, it is strongly recommended to weatherproof the Ethernet hub by placing it in a splash-proof or waterproof box. Hubs have no settings or adjustments, so there should not be a reason to access them after installation other than to confirm or check the status of the network. Ethernet hubs and RJ45 connectors all have gold plated contacts that will not corrode. We are actively working on a “Furuno Supplied Weatherproof Hub”.
. 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. This information should only need to be registered once for the life of the product. (Note: to access this menu, you must be in the “Installation Mode.
. The diagram below shows a properly configured dual station NavNet system. Note that either display will be able to use both its own chart card slot, and the chart card in the 1 other display’s chart card slot. Both displays are configured to show the radar picture coming from the PORT RADAR.
. 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 HUB GD-1900C DON’T ALTER “NETWORK SOUNDER SETUP”! One Network Sounder will “Plug & Play” in any NavNet.
. Section 6 - Pos. Sources, GP36 “SENSOR MODE”, Heading and Smart Sensor Integration A. Connecting the Furuno GP310 BBGPS - The NavNet displays need an external GPS NMEA 0183 input for position source information. When the GP-310 is utilized, displaying position information is as simple as plugging your GP-310’s standard supply cable into DATA PORT 1 on any NavNet display.
. Step 4 - Edit the position source to FURUNO BBGPS using the EDIT soft key and the cursor control. Once the above procedure has been completed, the BBGPS should begin to feed position information into the first display. B. Connecting Other Position Sources - You may opt to use a position information source other than the BBGPS GP-310 to provide NMEA position information to your NavNet display / network.
. C. GP36 “Sensor Mode” – When the installation requires a DGPS Sensor it is possible to make a small hardware modification to the GP36 Display to allow a NavNet Display to provide power to the GP36. This modification locks the GP36 power switch “On”. In Sensor Mode, the GP36 Display never needs to be accessed and it can be treated as a DGPS Sensor only. The GP36 Display should be considered as a “Black Box Sensor”. -For further information on this modification contact the Furuno Technical Department.
. • Configuration Procedure For All Other Displays In The NavNet That Will Utilize a Position Source Connected To Another NavNet Display: Step 1 - press the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, SYSTEM SETUP and PORT SETUP and DATA 1: GPS/NMEA PORT soft keys. Step 2 - Move your curser to FURUNO GPS SENSOR, then press the edit soft key and select NO with the curser control. Step 3 - Hit the RETURN soft key three times, and then press NAV OPTIONS and NAV SOURCE SETTINGS soft keys. You should then see the menu below.
. E. HEADING INFORMATION 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. There are no menu settings that need to be changed to make this happen. Please note the following: - Only one heading input to one Radar Display per network is needed.
. 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. GP-310B or other Pos. Source to DATA1 DATA1 The existing Smart Sensor Connector may also be used for connection to DATA3/DATA4 instead of the 000-144418 Cable. However, there is no way to provide NMEA0183 Output to other equipment.
. 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.
