After enabling the DHCP server click on “Exit” to validate the setting.

The MFD will Power OFF automatically!

Power ON the “Master” MFD. Wait a few minutes until the Installation Wizard appears on the Master then power ON all the other MFDs in the network and continue the Installation Wizard configuration on the Master MFD.

Click on “Next” on the Master MFD to continue the configuration.

3.2.2.NMEA2000 Data Configuration

This page configures the information that the MFD will output on its own NMEA2000 port. The information embedded in the PGN will be the information coming from the Sensor that will be chosen as the Primary Source (see next paragraph). Enable each NMEA2000 Data PGN that will be sent through the individual MFD’s NMEA2000 port. Note that in a multi-MFD network, each MFD’s NMEA2000 backbone is separate and independent. Therefore, you may have to perform the same procedure on each MFD where external NMEA2000 displays (ie. FI-50, etc...) or sensors are connected.

Note: This setting only configures the NMEA2000 Output Data. The NMEA2000 data received (Input) at each MFD and DRS is global and automatically recognized by the network. Each NMEA2000 Data Source at each MFD will automatically appear and may be selected as a Primary System Data Source.

The Furuno MFD series also features a powerful Auto Guidance function that offers navigational assistance by suggesting the safest and most efficient routes based on the vessel's dimensions and draft. This feature is invaluable for skippers navigating busy waterways or unfamiliar locations.

Another distinguishing characteristic is the radar overlay capability. By integrating radar data over chart screens, operators gain an enhanced situational awareness, enabling them to make informed decisions even in challenging weather conditions.

Durability is key for marine electronics, and the MFD8/12/BB delivers with its rugged, water-resistant design built to withstand harsh marine environments. It also comes with a customizable interface, providing users the ability to tailor the display for their specific needs, further enhancing usability.

In summary, the Furuno MFD8/12/BB represents a cutting-edge solution for marine navigation, packed with advanced features and technologies designed to improve safety and reliability on the water.
