How do I enable the MBB300C for HTML5?
Estimated Reading Time: 2 MinutesMaretron’s MBB300C can be used as a web server that can stream the N2KView application via HTML5, an interactive Web Service, through a LAN (Ethernet) connection.
Many 3rd Party vendors label this service slightly different, but all referring to the HTML5 Service
- Garmin One Helm
- Raymarine LightHouse
In order to initialize the MBB300C to populate on a connected MFD, the MBB300C will need:
- To be connected to the same LAN (Ethernet) as the MFDs, in adjacent to the NMEA2000 connection for data
- Temporarily connected via the HDMI or VGA and a mouse to change video output
*** Disclaimer ***
Please follow requirements outlined via the 3rd Party manufactures for safely connecting the MBB300C onto their LAN connection.
i.e. Garmin requires a PoE Isolation coupler to be integrated before connecting to the Garmin Marine network
Once the above setup is established
- Power up the MBB300C
- Tap anywhere on the display to reveal the tabs and navigate to Commands & Settings
- Select Configuration
- Select General Configuration
- Change the Display Mode to Remote HTML5 Access
- Next, Select Update and Reboot
- Once the reboot process has commenced, promptly remove the video (HDMI or VGA) and any connected user input devices, such as a mouse and/or keyboard while the MBB is rebooting.
- Your device should now populate on your 3rd Party display as an available app!!
