2.4.2 Checking Connections
Once the NMEA 2000® connections to the NBE100 have been completed, check to see that information is being properly transmitted by using an appropriate NMEA 2000® display to observe a sensor on the opposite side of the NBE100. If you don’t see data from that sensor, refer to Section 4, “Troubleshooting”.
2.5 Configuring the NBE100
The NBE100 will function on the NMEA 2000 network as it is shipped from the factory; no user configuration is required. However, it may be desirable to perform optional configuration. There are several configurable items within the NBE100, which are detailed in the remainder of this section.
You configure the NBE100 using a Maretron DSM250 display or other NMEA 2000® display unit that is capable of configuring the NBE100. Please refer to the Maretron DSM250 User’s Manual for details.
2.5.1 Device Instance
NMEA 2000® provides a unique device instance for each device on a vessel. This value should be programmed in each NBE100 so that each NBE100 is associated with a unique device instance number. The default instance number is 0, which is used to indicate the first NBE100 that is hooked to the network. Subsequent NBE100’s connected to the network would be numbered 1, 2, and so on.
