I have no experience with it, but from all I've read you simply plug it
into an Ethernet hub....er, ah....instead of some little NMEA multiplexer
box that only has a few ports....(c;

Use a Netgear hub. They work best for the money....

Here, educate yourself away from the NMEA stuff for a change....

Here's the IP address for the various models. Unfortunately, none of these
are STANDARDLY compatible with DHCP-enabled routers. Too bad they didn't
make all of them DHCP-enabled so any ol' kid's router could have had more
