Installation of DFF3D Multibeam Sounder 

The "DFF3D

 

and “PBG” Modules need to be unlocked prior to 

configuring the Furuno DFF-3D in 

TZ Professional. 

 

Computer Setup 

The DFF-3D connects to the PC through an Ethernet connection (100Base-T). All Furuno Ethernet sensors (including Ethernet sounders) only operate 
on the 172.31.x.x. / 255.255.0.0 network.

 

 
 

 

You will have to setup your computer IP address to match that network. We highly recommended using 172.31.3.150 as a fixed IP address 
for the computer with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

 

 

 
Open the "Network Connections" control panel of 
your computer to adjust the IP address: 
 

 

Press  [Windows]  +  [R]  to  bring  up  the  Run 
Dialog box 

 

Type 

“ncpa.cpl” and press [Enter]

 

 

 
 
 

 

Double  click  on  the  Network  Adapter 
connected  to  the  DFF-

3D  (usually  “Local  Area 

Connection”).

 

 
 
 

 

 

Select  "Properties"  on  the  "Local  Area 
Connection Status" window.  

 

 

 

Note: If you have multiple Area Connections 

(multiple Ethernet Cards) and if you don’t know which one is connected 

to the DFF-3D, you can temporary disconnect the Ethernet Cable connected to the DFF-3D from the computer and 
look at which icon will display a red cross. This will indicate the LAN that has been disconnected from the computer, 
and the one that needs to be configured.
