4.Registering the System

4.1.SystemID Description

The Navnet 3D SystemID is a unique number assigned to a complete NN3D networked system with one or more MFDs. On the same boat, all networked MFDs have the same SystemID. This number will not change if a MFD or other NavNet Component is added to the system. The SystemID is used to identify the customer when he purchases data or services. Note that the unique SystemID will be created automatically only when the system is set-up (when all MFD are networked together and one Master is assigned).

To access the SystemID, press the [MENU] key on any MFD, turn the RotoKey to select the “My NavNet” page. The SystemID is the 20 digit number (beginning by “SI”) at the bottom of the page.

It is highly recommended to immediately write down the SystemID on the Furuno Registration Card.

4.2.Registration Card

A registration Card comes with every MFD. This Registration Card contains the Serial Number and the Registration Number that are required to correctly register the system online at www.navnet.com. Note that customers will not be able to update embedded charts or purchase additional data if the System is not properly registered online.

In order to register, the customer will need to enter the Registration Number of each MFD. It is also recommended to enter the SystemID at the time of registration
