Note for integration an AIS-Device into a
NMEA2000 network
Weatherdock devices with the addition of "N2K" are NMEA 2000
compatible!
NMEA2000 allows the integration of up to 50 devices in a modern network
system on board of a ship. NMEA2000 eliminates the cumbersome installation
of individual components. Thus, it is sufficient if you integrate your N2K device
via T-adapter, cable and connector to the existing main line NMEA2000.
