Here's what I use, Webfoot. You plug your NMEA serial port off the NMEA
multiplexer that's supposed to go to the computer into its 9-pin port.
Then, you plug the Ethernet port into one of the ports on your NETGEAR
wireless router. No internet connection is necessary..(c;



Now, if the damned fool NMEA manufacturers would dump all this 1970 serial
technology crap and just put an ethernet port, DHCP enabled of course, on
their boxes, I could be watching the radar on the bow, in color of course,
too!

Nuts.....(d^

NMEA SUCKS....


You just need the newer Furuno gear that uses FurunoNet....(ethernet)
as the interconnect metheod.....

adding an IP Stack/Ethernet Port to Marine Electronics is comming...
just not here yet....except Furuno.....

Mr Me...
You must be referring to "NavNet" FurunoNet(?) Two problems with
ethernet...!. the manufacturers have been spending money hand over fist
to re-invent the wheel under the dubious auspices of Beth Kahr and her
NMEA cronies, and are headlong into propagating NMEA 2000 (should have
called it 2010)..their version of can-buss technology.....(but no
provision for video display inter-connectivity) the solution to that
is black box and cpu with display simlar to NavNet , I agree,with some
reservation in that if the cpu goes down you lose ALL instruments.
The second problem( much easier to solve)is that the RJ connections
used on much of the equipment are almost useless in a sal****er
environment
due to corrosion...The solution- wireless? perhaps, the weatherized
hubs etc, are not that weatherized, or hardwired with more positive
means of mechanical connection. Which brings us back to problem #
1...Personally, I say screw the NMEA, and opt for black- box,...Now all
I need is a new microwave oven that doesn't disrupt every signal on my
boat, so Larry and I can have something to snack on when we're drinking
beer under the jib barking orders at the crew over their FRS-enabled
wris****ches....

Wris****ches...... That reminds me of a certain night at a club meeting
Chi-Chi's, where the TV sets wouldn't stay on the same channel even after
the bartender reset them.

Leanne,
That would be the Casio wris****ches, as opposed to the Uniden...lol

Never saw that. Thanks. Is it DHCP-enabled for automatic router
addressing or some proprietary nonsense to make Furuno richer?

====================================

Why would you need DHCP if you are using static IPs? I have not yet
tried it on my Navnet gear but I believe you can use an ordinary hub
or switch for the interconnects.
