The Maretron IPG100 Internet Protocol Gateway lets you connect Maretron black boxes (MBB100’s), Maretron touch screens (DSM800’s), PC’s, Mac’s, tablets, or smartphones to an NMEA 2000 network so you can monitor and control your vessel using Maretron’s N2KViewr software. The conventional way of viewing NMEA 2000 information is with a display on the vessel that is directly connected to an NMEA 2000 network, but with the Maretron IPG100, you are not limited to direct connected displays. With the Maretron IPG100 Internet Protocol Gateway, you can use any device running N2KViewr software to monitor and control your vessel from onboard or ashore.
