NavNet TZtouch: TZT9/14/BB	Not Compatible

Note:
TZTL12F and TZTL15F from NavNet TZtouch2 series MFDs are NOT compatible with this feature. Only the TZT2BB is compatible from the NavNet TZtouch2 series.

Network Overview
MFDs are networked with third party devices via Ethernet. These compatible devices have built-in web servers (HTML5), which MFDs can access to show images and control the networked devices.

Network Requirement and Setup Procedures **

**

**Network Overview

**

A maximum of five (5) third party systems can be connected on the same NavNet MFD network. FURUNO navnet tztouch3 TZT16F Integration with Third Party
Devices via Ethernet - device 1

Requirement on Partner Devices

Each partner device has a built-in web server compatible with HTML5. This built-in web server runs the application to display and operate the device. MFDs then access the server to control the application of the0 networked device. FURUNO navnet tztouch3 TZT16F Integration with Third Party Devices
via Ethernet - device 2 In order to network with NavNet MFDs, partner devices are assigned with the dedicated IP addresses per manufacture as shown in the table in Section 2 and Section 3:

Action and Operation on MFDs **

**

Update MFDs (TZT12F/16F/19F and TZT2BB) to compatible versions: V1.08 and later for TZT12F/16F/19F and v7.xx and later for TZT2BB.
Make sure that the target device is assigned with the dedicated IP address of 172.31.201.xxx.
Network MFDs with the device via Ethernet.
In the Home page, tap the [+] icon to create a new page and confirm that the icon of partner device is shown.
Select the partner device to create the page. Home Page – Icon from Lumishore
Operate the networked device by touch on the MFD screen.

Screen Images – Example from Lumishore

Full	Half (1/2-Split)	Quarter (1/4-Split)

Notes:

Availability of half (1/2-split) and quarter (1/4-split) pages depends on networked partner devices as shown in the table in Section 2.
Time to open the device page varies and depends upon the Third-Party device.
Alarms generated on third party devices are NOT shown on the Plotter, Radar, Fish Finder, etc. of MFDs.

Tips – How do these partner devices communicate with MFDs?
Each partner device has a built-in web server compatible with HTML5. This web server allows an MFDs to access the device via Ethernet for data display and operation in a browser. These partner devices are assigned with a dedicated Class B IP address (172.31.xxx.xxx). This dedicated IP address allows MFDs to access the built-in browsers of networked devices. The current exception to a fixed IP address is Seakeeper. Seakeeper uses a DHCP server to assign an address. This is done automatically between the MFD and the Seakeeper device. Make sure to consult with representatives of each manufacturer for IP address configuration.

How are these partner devices are detected by MFDs?
MFDs have built-in files (.enc), which identify networked partner devices. In the Service menu – [UTILITY] – [ACCESS MANAGER], you can see unique files named [xxx (partner name).enc]. At the time of release of TZT12F/16F/19F v1.08 and TZT2BB v7.01 software, the partner files in the table above are enclosed in the software installation packages: On updating the MFD to these software versions, these files are also installed. These files define IP addresses of partner devices and logo images to be shown on the Home page. If an MFD detects a connected ThirdParty device, the logo will appear on the home page. It can then be selected for a display page just like you
would when setting up a Radar, Plotter, or Fish Finder page.

Setup Requirements for Third Party Devices

This section describes basic requirements for third party devices. For IP address settings on each device, consult with representatives of each partner.
