1.1.2.4 Device Instance
This entry allows you to program the NMEA 2000 device instance for the unit. You usually will not
need to modify the default value
of “0” unless you have multiple units on the network.
6.30.1.1 Installation Description
This entry allows you to modify the NMEA 2000 installation description text strings. You can enter
any information you like here, such as the date the unit was installed, or the location in which it was
installed, for later reference. Tools such as Maretron N2KAnalyzer allow you to view these values
later.
6.30.1.2 Restore Factory Defaults
This option restores all settings on the device to their factory default state.
6.30.2 Label
A device label may be assigned to the VDR100 as an aid to identifying the device over the network.
See Section 3.3.4 for details on how to enter a textual value.
6.30.3 Password
Program this parameter with a text password. Any connecting N2KExtractor
™ clients must be
programmed with the same password in the “Connections Settings->Password” field in the
N2KExtractor
™ software. The default password is blank.
6.30.4 DHCP
This parameter determines whether or not the VDR100 obtains its LAN connection settings from a
DHCP server o
n the local area network. When set to “Yes” (the default value), the VDR100 will obtain
all necessary connection settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and Default DNS)
from a DHCP server on the local area network. Most routers have the capability to act as a DHCP
server. Consult the user documentation for your network’s router for details.
If there is no DHCP server on the local area network (or if the VDR100 is connected directly to a PC
running N2KExtractor
™), set the “DHCP” parameter to “No” and manually configure the IP Address
(Section 6.16.6), Subnet Mask (Section 6.16.7), Default Gateway (Section 6.16.8), Default DNS
(Section 6.16.9).
6.30.5 IP Address
This parameter is the IP (Internet Protocol) address used by the VDR100. You will need to specify
this address to N2KExtractor
™ clients in order to allow them to connect to the VDR100. If the “DHCP”
parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set
to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.
6.30.6 Subnet Mask
This is a mask used to divide an IP Address into subnets. Basically, it tells the computer how much of
the IP Address defines the network, and how much may be used by computers on the network. For
most networks, the first three parts of the IP address define the network (i.e., every computer on the
