VERSION 1.01
5.7
Connection to an NMEA2000 network (optional)
The AIT2000 also has an N2Net connection which is Digital Yacht’s NMEA2000 compliant interface. To
connect to other NMEA2000 products, simply find or add a spare NMEA2000 “T” piece on the existing
NMEA2000 network and connect the receiver’s N2Net connector to the “T” piece.
The N2Net cable is just over 1m long and is terminated in an NMEA2000 Micro Male Connector.
The AIS200N2NET does not take any power from the NMEA2000 network.
The Load Equivalency Number (LEN) of the AIT2000 is 1.
The AIT2000 now outputs AIS data and GPS data on to the network (GPS added with V1.7 firmware), it
does not provide any other NMEA0183 to NMEA2000 conversion.

The AIS transponder is supplied with a USB cable for connection to a PC or Mac. The USB connector can be con-
nected directly to the USB port on the PC or Mac via the supplied USB cable. To enable connection of the AIS
