What IP settings does Maretron recomended for the IPG100 connection to a dedicated N2KView device (DSM800 or MBB100) to work properly?

Maretron recommends the following configuration setting to successfully make a connection between N2KView running on a DSM800 or MBB100 to the IPG100. First, configure the IPG100 using N2KAnalyzer, a DSM150, or a DSM250. The procedure for configuring the IP address on an IPG100 using a DSM150 or DSM250 is as follows:

• Press the key to open the main menus
• Scroll to the "Configuration..." menu and press
  
• Scroll to DHCP and press
  
• scroll to "NO" and press
  

The IPG100 will default to the following values in each entry:

• IP Address: 192.168.0.2
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
• Default DNS: 192.168.0.1

Configuration settings for the MBB100 or DSM800:

• Touch the screen to display the tabs.
• Select the "Commands & Settings" tab.
• Select  "Configuration" button in the "Commands & Settings" window.
• Select the "Network" tab.
• Uncheck "Use DHCP".
• Enter the following in the corresponding fields
  • IP Address: 192.168.0.5
  • Netmask: 255.255.255.0
  • Gateway: 192.168.0.1
  • Name Server: 192.168.0.1
• Press the "Update" button when complete.

The final step is to input the necessary setting into the N2KView connection dialog.

• Touch the screen to display the tabs.
• Select the "Commands & Settings" tab.
• Select  "Connections" button in the "Commands & Settings" window.
• Enter the following in the corresponding fields:
  
  • Hostname / IP Address: 192.168.0.2
