3.1.Introduction

NavNet3D (just like NavNetVX2) uses Ethernet to share radar/sounder images and other navigation information from devices connected within a networked system. In any single NN3D network, a combination of up to ten NavNet3D MFDs may be connected to each other via Ethernet. All NavNet3D Network Components have an integrated regular RJ45 Ethernet port for this purpose. Legacy NavNet component such as the ETR-6/10N (FUSA P/N= BBFF1) or ETR-30N (FUSA P/N= BBFF3) network sounders will need to be connected using the Hub Adapter Cable 6Pin to RJ45 (FUSA P/N= 000-144-463).

This chapter shows you how to set up your NavNet3D system. Most of the configuration will be done using the Installation Wizard that is automatically launched during the first start or can be manually launched by pressing the [MENU] key and selecting “System” then “Installation Wizard”. Before trying to configure a NN3D system, make sure that any and all instruments are correctly interfaced. Please refer to the previous chapter (Wiring) for more information.

On the MFD8/12, the initial configuration is done using the Cursor Pad (upper pad) and the Center click (which emulate a left click mouse)

On the MFDBB, a generic USB mouse connected to one of the USB port is required to perform the initial configuration.

Properly designing the NavNet3D network is a key point of a successful installation (see the Appendix for Installation examples).
