® 1 General 1.1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100). Maretron has designed and built your gateway to the highest standards for years of reliable, dependable, and accurate service. The Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100) lets you connect Maretron black boxes (MBB100’s), Maretron touch screens (DSM800’s), PC’s, Mac’s, tablets, or smartphones to an NMEA 2000® network so you can monitor and control your vessel using Maretron’s N2KView® software.
IPG100 User’s Manual The Maretron IPG100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless installed, calibrated, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow these instructions for installation, calibration, and usage of the Maretron IPG100 in order to ensure optimal performance. 1.2 Firmware Revision This manual corresponds to IPG100 firmware revision 1.0.0. 1.
® 1.7 General Concepts 1.7.1 Client/Server Architecture The N2KView® Vessel Monitoring and Control System is based on a client/server architecture. In this context, a server is defined as a component that provides services over a network and a client is defined as a station that requests and uses those services. Within the N2KView® System, there is one server (called N2KServer®) and one or more stations or clients (called N2KView®).
IPG100 User’s Manual LAN WAN Figure 3 – WAN Client/Server Architecture Example through the Internet Figure 3 extends the example shown in Figure 2 by adding an external internet access point across a Wide Area Network (WAN). Although it is possible to setup the network as shown in Figure 3, ensuring that the remote N2KView® clients can find the IP Address of the N2KServer® at the correct port (6543 or 6544) requires considerable IT expertise.
® Figure 5 – Single Client Connection to IPG100 Figure 5 shows an example of a single client connection to an IPG100. A DSM800 (or a computer, or a MBB100) is connected directly to the IPG100. 1.7.2 TCP/IP Networks The networking protocol that is used for the communication between the server and stations in the N2KView® system is the TCP/IP protocol. This protocol is used by the World Wide Web, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and many others of the most popular applications on the Internet.
IPG100 User’s Manual In the early days of the Internet, each computer connected to the Internet had its own IP address. With the explosive growth of the Internet, the number of distinct IP addresses is starting to run out. It is no longer practical for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide its customers with individual IP addresses for each component the customer wishes to connect to the Internet.
® If you wish to connect to an N2KServer® from outside your vessel’s LAN via an Internet connection, you have two choices. First, you can request a static IP address from the ISP for your vessel; secondly, you may register your N2KServer®’s IP address with a “dynamic DNS service”, such as the ones offered freely by www.dyndns.org, among others. Please visit their websites for more information on how dynamic DNS services operate. 1.7.

The IPG100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location.
® 2.4 Connecting the IPG100 2.4.1 NMEA 2000® Connection The NMEA 2000® connector can be found on the side of the enclosure. The NMEA 2000® connector is a round five pin male connector (see Figure 7). You connect the IPG100 to an NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or an NMEA 2000® compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the IPG100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector).
IPG100 User’s Manual NOTE: There are two types of Hardware License Keys. The “old” key has a plastic case and carries a “SafeNet Sentinel” logo on the label. The “new” key has a gray metal case and has the Maretron logo etched into the metal case. “Old” Key: “New” Key: The “new” key is required to use with the IPG100. The “new” key will also work with the N2KServer® PC software (version 3.0.4 and later).
® 3.1.2 Installation Description This entry allows you to modify the NMEA 2000® installation description text strings. You can enter any information you like here, such as the date the unit was installed, or the location in which it was installed, for later reference. Tools such as Maretron N2KAnalyzer® allow you to view these values later. The default installation description is blank text. 3.1.
IPG100 User’s Manual 3.6 Configuring IP Address This parameter is the IP (Internet Protocol) address used by the IPG100. You will need to specify this address to N2KView® clients in order to allow them to connect to the IPG100. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter. 3.7 Configuring Subnet Mask This is a mask used to divide an IP Address into subnets.
® 5 Troubleshooting If you notice unexpected operation of the Maretron IPG100, follow the troubleshooting procedures in this section to remedy simple problems. Symptom N2KView® Clients cannot successfully connect to the IPG100 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. LAN indicator not lit 1. 2. USB indicator not lit NMEA 2000® indicator not lit 1. 1. Troubleshooting Procedure If you have programmed the IPG100 to use DHCP, ensure that there is an active DHCP server on your LAN.
