Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron DSM800 Vessel Monitoring and Control Indoor
Display. Maretron has designed and built your display to the highest standards for years of
dependable and accurate service.
The DSM800 is a dedicated touch screen that comes preloaded with Maretron’s N2KView
®
vessel
monitoring and control software (N2KView
®
hardware license key sold separately). The N2KView
®
software allows you to configure as many favorite screens as you want with exactly the information
you want to see. Although not suitable for outdoor applications, the DSM800 provides an extremely
simple touch interface for monitoring and controlling critical systems from inside the vessel.
The DSM800 is ruggedized for marine use and includes a solid state disk drive to withstand the
pounding associated with waves. And since the DSM800 only dissipates 25 watts, there is no need
for internal cooling fans that are noisy and wear out causing electronics to overheat and fail.
As an alternative to controlling the DSM800 through the touch screen, the DSM800 includes two USB
ports for connecting keyboards, mice, or trackballs. The DSM800 also has an Ethernet port for
communicating with an NMEA 2000
®
network (see Figure 1) through Maretron’s Internet Protocol
Gateway (IPG100). Alternatively, the DSM800 can network through Ethernet to a PC running
N2KServer
®
. Although the DSM800 comes pre-installed with the N2KView
®
software, a separately
purchased N2KView
®
hardware license key plugged into the IPG100 (or PC) is required (see IPG100
User’s Manual for more details). The Ethernet port is also used for connecting Internet Protocol (IP)
cameras for viewing within the N2KView
®
software.
