Digital Yacht LANLink NMEA 2000 to Ethernet Gateway for Marine Data Integration

LANLink NMEA 2000 To Ethernet Gateway

More and more boats now have a wireless router fitted or utilize services like Digital Yacht 4G Connect for internet connectivity. LANLink is an NMEA to ethernet gateway that enables the boats NMEA data to integrate into the router network -allowing connected devices and apps to take advantage of the data.

LANLinkis available in two versions suitable for NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 respectively. It features an easy-to-use web interface allowing any device with a browser to configure NMEA baud rates and IP/Port information.

It can support multiple TCP/IP connections and is bi-directional. Once connected to the onboard network via a simple CAT 5/6 patch cable, users can set apps like TZ iBoat, iNavX, NavLink, iSailor, Imray, Weather 4D, etc., by simply entering the IP address and port for streaming NMEA data.

*This version ships with an iKonvertNMEA Certified gateway

The Digital Yacht LANLink NMEA 2000 to Ethernet Gateway facilitates seamless integration of marine NMEA 2000 data into your onboard network, enhancing connectivity for navigation, AIS, and instrument applications. Designed for modern boats with wireless routers or internet services like Digital Yacht 4G Connect, LANLink enables data sharing across connected devices and apps, providing real-time information for navigation and monitoring. This gateway supports multiple TCP/IP connections and features a user-friendly web interface, allowing effortless configuration of baud rates, IP addresses, and ports via any device with a standard web browser. Its bi-directional data flow ensures smooth communication between the vessel's NMEA backbone and network devices, making it ideal for integrated marine systems.

The NMEA 2000 version ships with an iKonvertNMEA Certified gateway, simplifying connection to the NMEA 2000 backbone and supporting various installation options. Operating on low power from 12 or 24 volts DC, the device connects easily via a standard RJ45 Cat 5/6 patch cable, eliminating complex wiring. Users can configure the device to operate in TCP/IP or UDP modes, supporting up to five connected devices simultaneously, and can select raw mode with encapsulated PGNs or conversion mode to support AIS, GPS, and instruments. An RS232 port provides additional connectivity for PC applications, while status LEDs indicate power, data flow, network link, and overall system health.

Set-up is straightforward with the web-based interface, requiring no special software. Users can select NMEA baud rates of 4800 or 38400, choose between static or dynamic IP addresses, and customize network settings. The gateway offers built-in diagnostics through a dedicated status page, ensuring reliable operation. Compact and robust, the device measures approximately 3.75 inches wide, 3.4 inches high, and 0.5 inches deep, suitable for installation in tight marine spaces. The LANLink NMEA 2000 to Ethernet Gateway is an essential tool for boat owners seeking to modernize their vessel's data network, providing reliable, flexible, and scalable connectivity for navigation, weather, and communication systems.
