Explanation of the NavNet Concept
NavNet (Furuno Navigation Network) products are the first Furuno products that utilize
TCP/IP protocol over standard 10BASE-T Ethernet to share radar/chart/sounder images
and other navigation information from devices connected within a networked system. In
any single NavNet, a combination of up to
five
Furuno NavNet Network Components may
be connected to each other(Up to Four Displays and One Network Sounder). All NavNet
Network Components have one integrated 10BASE-T Ethernet port. Each NavNet
Network Component utilizes a Furuno 6-pin waterproof plug for its Ethernet connection.
Defining NavNet Network Components
NavNet Network Components
Non-NavNet Network Components
-Any NavNet Display
-GPS Sensors
-Network Sounder (BBFF1)
-Heading Sensors
-Smart Temp/Depth Sensors
-RD30 Displays
Any NavNet Radar/Plotter or Plotter may be used independently as a stand-alone
product! Additionally, it may be connected to any other NavNet Display or Network
Sounder to form a sophisticated navigation system. If only two NavNet Network
Components are connected together, a single bi-directional cable can be inserted
between them to establish full network communication via their Ethernet ports. However,
if three, four, or five NavNet Network Components are networked together, an Ethernet
Hub must be utilized.
-Up to 5 NavNet Network Components Per Network Is Permitted!
-The Network Sounder (BBFF1) Must Be Used With at Least One NavNet Display!
