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. Once NMEA data has been input into any NavNet display, the display can then be programmed to
distribute this information to all of the other NavNet displays via Ethernet.
The GP-36 may be used to provide DGPS corrected NMEA 0183 data, or you may want to use another
manufacturer’s DGPS or WAAS GPS as a simple sensor. In many cases, power may be supplied from the
NavNet display. The default software configuration of every NavNet Display should allow any position source to
be input to the DATA1 Port, except for the Furuno GP310B(BBGPS). To confirm that the software is configured
properly, follow STEP 3 and STEP 4 from the previous section and set the POSITION SOURCE to the “ALL”
Selection.
WARNING! IF SUPPLYING POWER TO AN EXTERNAL NAVIGATOR FROM A NAVNET DISPLAY, CURRENT
DRAW MUST NOT EXCEED 250MA.
Refer to both the applicable NavNet installation manual and the GPS
manufacturer’s installation manual for connection information.

* The GP31/36 can be powered directly from any NavNet Display because they consume
less than 250mA. The GP36 can also be configured for “SENSOR MODE” where the
NavNet Display provides power to the GP36 Display. This allows the GP36 Display to be
hidden away when only a DGPS Sensor is required for any NavNet System.
-PIN 1 TD-A/+ “White” Wire and PIN 2 TD-B/- “BLUE” Wire may be utilized as a programmable
NMEA0183 Output when in this configuration.
