1 General
1.1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100).
Maretron has designed and built your gateway to the highest standards for years of reliable,
dependable, and accurate service.
The Internet Protocol Gateway (IPG100) 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 N2KView® 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 IPG100, you are not limited to
®
direct connected displays. With the IPG100, you can use any device running N2KView
software to monitor and control your vessel from onboard or ashore.
The IPG100 has an NMEA 2000
exchanging information between the onboard NMEA 2000® network and Internet Protocol (IP)
enabled devices using conventional technology such as routers, switches, and wireless
modems. In addition, the IPG100 includes a USB port used for connecting Maretron’s
hardware license key. The hardware license key is used to enable remote devices running
N2KView® software. For example, if you purchase a hardware license key with three
N2KView® licenses, you can run N2KView® at the helm, another on a handheld device
connected via Wi-Fi, and another at home on your PC or Mac with an Internet connection back
to the vessel. The licenses are floating, so if you were to shut down N2KView® running at
home, you could fire up the third N2KView® license on the vessel.

The Maretron IPG100 is demands of the marine
environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless
installed, calibrated, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow
these instructions for installation, calibration, and usage of the Maretron IPG100 in order to
ensure optimal performance.

The IPG100 implements the server

PC. The IPG100, when connected to an NMEA 2000

1.7 General Concepts
1.7.1 Client/Server Architecture
The N2KView® Vessel Monitoring and Control System is based on a client/server architecture.
In this context, a server is defined as a component that provides services over a network and a
client is defined as a station that requests and uses those services.
Within the N2KView® System, there is one server (called N2KServer®) and one or more
stations or clients (called N2KView®). The server component is implemented by either an
IPG100 or N2KServer® software running on a Windows PC, and the station or client
components are implemented by the N2KView® software. N2KView® software may run on a
Windows PC, Mac, or Maretron’s MBB100 or DSM800. Mobile versions of N2KView®software
are available for iPod, iPhone, iPad and Android devices. The service offered by the server to
the stations (clients) is access to the NMEA 2000® network data that the server receives from
the NMEA 2000® network via its NMEA 2000® gateway. The network over which this service is
offered is implemented as a TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) network,
which is discussed in the next section.
1.7.1.1 Examples of NMEA 2000® Client/Server Architectures
N2KServer® may run on a Windows PC (using Maretron’s USB100 gateway - see Figure 2 and
Figure 3) or N2KServer® may run directly on an IPG100 (see Figure 4).
Figure 2 – LAN Client/Server Architecture Example with USB100
Figure 2 shows an example of a Local Area Network (LAN) connection including the PC to
NMEA 2000
on the PC connected to the USB100, and an N2KView
plugged in to the PC to supply sufficient licenses for the maximum number of simultaneously
connected clients. N2KView
