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® and an Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) port for  
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.

Installing the Maretron IPG100 involves the following steps. Please refer to the individual  
sections for additional details.  
1. Unpacking the Box (Section 2.1)  
2. Choosing a Mounting Location (Section 2.2)  
3. Mounting the IPG100 (Section 2.3)  
4. Connecting the IPG100 (Section 2.4)  
5. Configuring the IPG100 (Section 3)  
1.6 Theory of Operation  
The IPG100 implements the server portion of the N2KView® Vessel Monitoring and control  
System, providing the same function as the N2KServer® component running on a Windows  
PC. The IPG100, when connected to an NMEA 2000® network, an Ethernet LAN, and a valid  
N2KView® Hardware License Key, takes the information from the NMEA 2000® network and  
makes it available to N2KView® clients over the LAN interface. N2KView® platinum clients can  
also send switching control messages to the IPG100 over the LAN interface and the IPG100  
will relay these messages to the NMEA 2000® network. The next section describes in detail  
how the N2KView® system is implemented in terms of networking technology.

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®network connection through a USB100 gateway. A copy of N2KServer® must run  
on the PC connected to the USB100, and an N2KView® Hardware License Key must be  
plugged in to the PC to supply sufficient licenses for the maximum number of simultaneously  
connected clients. N2KView® clients may run on either the PC connected to the USB100, or to  
another PC connected to the router, or to a laptop or mobile device connected wirelessly.

LAN  
WAN  
Figure 3 – WAN Client/Server Architecture Example through the Internet  
Figure 3 extends the example shown in Figure 2 by adding an external internet access point  
across a Wide Area Network (WAN). Although it is possible to setup the network as shown in  
Figure 3, ensuring that the remote N2KView® clients can find the IP Address of the  
N2KServer® at the correct port (6543 or 6544) requires considerable IT expertise.  
Figure 4 – LAN Client/Server Architecture Example with IPG100  
Figure 4 shows an example of an IPG100 connected between the NMEA 2000® network and a  
Wi-Fi/router connected to a PC running an N2KView® client. A copy of N2KServer®  
automatically runs on the IPG100; however an N2KView® Hardware License Key must be  
plugged in to the IPG100 to supply sufficient licenses for the maximum number of  
simultaneously connected clients. As in the previous examples, N2KView® Clients may run on  
any computer able to access the N2KServer® on the Ethernet network.

Figure 5 – Single Client Connection to IPG100  
Figure 5 shows an example of a single client connection to an IPG100. A DSM800 (or a  
computer, or a MBB100) is connected directly to the IPG100.  
1.7.2 TCP/IP Networks  
The networking protocol that is used for the communication between the server and stations in  
the N2KView® system is the TCP/IP protocol. This protocol is used by the World Wide Web,  
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and many others of the most popular applications on the Internet.  
The TCP/IP connection can be made over an Ethernet connection, a Wi-Fi connection, cellular  
phone data connection, and many other types of media. In fact, a single packet of TCP/IP  
data may traverse multiple types of media on its journey. The TCP/IP protocol is supported by  
most operating systems, as well as Internet-connected cellular phones.  
Each computer on a TCP/IP network is identified by an IP address unique to that network. An  
IP address consists of four numbers, each ranging between 0 and 255, separated by periods.  
This is referred to a dotted decimal notation. Examples of IP addresses in this format are  
10.0.0.1, and 62.12.31.188.  
The IP address may either be hard coded into the computer (this means that the address is  
static which makes the computer easier to find) or assigned at each startup by a DHCP  
(Dynamic Host Control Protocol) server, typically found as part of a router. The router can be  
configured to reserve a specific address for the computer and then assign that same address  
each time at startup. If the router chooses a different address each time, then the computer  
may be difficult to find on the network. This is not a problem for a client such as N2KView®, but  
servers such as a PC running N2KServer® or the IPG100 must be at a known address.  
1.7.3 NAT (Network Address Translation)  
If you wish to use N2KView® to view data from an N2KServer® on a WAN through an Internet  
connection, please read this section. If your N2KServer® and N2KView® computers are on the  
same LAN, you may skip this section.  
Revision 1.2  
Page 5  
 
 
IPG100 User’s Manual  
In the early days of the Internet, each computer connected to the Internet had its own IP  
address. With the explosive growth of the Internet, the number of distinct IP addresses is  
starting to run out. It is no longer practical for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to provide its  
customers with individual IP addresses for each component the customer wishes to connect to  
the Internet. Rather, the ISP normally assigns each customer a single IP address, and a  
router implementing Network Address Translation (NAT) is connected to the Internet  
connection (sometimes referred to as the Wide Area Network, or WAN, connection) on one  
side, and to the Local Area Network, or LAN, on the other side. Each computer on the LAN  
side of the connection will be assigned its own IP address, typically in the ranges 192.168.x.x,  
10.x.x.x, and 172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x, where x can be any number in the range 0-255.  
The WAN connection will be assigned a single IP address by the ISP.  
Generally, network address translation is performed by a router that is connected to the  
Internet via a Cable or DSL connection on the WAN side, and to the local area network (LAN)  
via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections. In order to access an N2KServer® on the local area  
network from an N2KView® outside of the LAN. You must configure the router to allow  
incoming connections on port 6544 and to forward these connections to the IP address of the  
N2KServer® computer. Consult the documentation that came with your router for details.  
1.7.4 PAT (Port Address Translation)  
If you wish to use N2KView® to view data from an N2KServer® on a WAN through an Internet  
connection and your Internet Service Provider does not allow communication on port 6544,  
please read this section. If your N2KServer® and N2KView® computers are on the same LAN,  
or your ISP allows communication over port 6544, you may skip this section.  
N2KServer® requires a connection to be made on port 6544. Routers that support Port  
Address Translation can be set up to accept incoming connections on a different port and to  
forward these connections to port 6544 on the IP address of the N2KServer® computer. This  
change in the port address is known as the ability to do Port Address Translation as well as  
Network Address Translation. Not all routers have this ability; please consult the  
documentation that came with your router for details.  
N2KView® must then be set up to request a connection to the WAN IP Address of the router  
and the new port number.  
1.7.5 Static and Dynamic IP Addressing  
If you wish to use N2KView® to view data from an N2KServer® on a WAN through an Internet  
connection, please read this section. If your N2KServer® and N2KView® computers are on the  
same LAN, you may skip this section.  
If you request a Static IP Address from your ISP when you set up your Internet connection, the  
WAN IP address will always be the same. If you didn’t make this request, your ISP will assign  
you a Dynamic IP Address, which may actually change from time to time. In this way, the ISP  
only needs to have enough addresses to cover its customers who are connected to the  
Internet at any given time. If you stop or lose your Internet connection, your Dynamic IP  
address will be released and may be reassigned to someone else.

If you wish to connect to an N2KServer® from outside your vessel’s LAN via an Internet  
connection, you have two choices. First, you can request a static IP address from the ISP for  
your vessel; secondly, you may register your N2KServer®’s IP address with a “dynamic DNS  
websites for more information on how dynamic DNS services operate.  
1.7.6 Software Firewall Configuration  
If you wish to run N2KView® and N2KServer® on two separate computers and are running a  
software firewall product other than Windows Firewall, please read this section. Otherwise,  
you may skip this section.  
A firewall is designed to protect your computer from unfettered access from the Internet.  
There are two kinds of firewalls: software and hardware. A software firewall is a component  
such as Windows Firewall or Norton Internet Security. A major function of these programs is to  
allow your computer to initiate connections out onto the Internet, but to block your computer  
from receiving incoming connections from the Internet. If you wish to be able to view your  
vessel’s data from another computer, your N2KServer® computer’s software firewall must be  
configured to allow incoming connections from N2KView® stations. The N2KServer® makes  
these adjustments to the Windows Firewall software when it is installed. If you are running  
firewall software from another vendor, you may have to configure your firewall software to  
allow this incoming TCP protocol connection on port 6544.  
1.7.7 Data Security and Encryption  
Making your vessel’s data available over a LAN or WAN presents multiple security concerns.  
First, it is desirable to keep anyone from viewing your vessel’s data without authorization.  
Second, and more important, it is imperative that no unauthorized persons be able to place  
data onto your vessel’s NMEA 2000® network.  
The N2KView® system protects your vessel’s data with multiple levels of protection.  
First, any data that passes between the N2KServer® server component and any N2KView®  
station components is protected using industry-standard SSL encryption. This encryption  
standard is widely used to protect financial information on the internet. Each communication  
session negotiates a random encryption key every time a connection is established. This  
makes the data secure over public and private Wi-Fi networks, as well as the internet.  
Second, each N2KView® station that wishes to connect to an N2KServer® server component  
must authenticate itself by means of a server password. The server password is transmitted  
by the N2KView® station to the N2KServer® server over the encrypted communication link.  
The N2KServer® compares the server password to the one it was programmed with. Only if  
the server password received from the station matches the server’s stored password is the  
station granted access to the NMEA 2000® network data.  
2 Installation  
2.1 Unpacking the Box  
When unpacking the box containing the Maretron IPG100, you should find the following items:  
Revision 1.2  
Page 7  
 
 
IPG100 User’s Manual  
1 – IPG100 Internet Protocol Gateway  
1 – Parts Bag containing 4 Stainless Steel Mounting Screws  
1 – IPG100 User’s Manual  
1 – Warranty Registration Card  
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron.  
2.2 Choosing a Mounting Location  
Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location.  
1. The IPG100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location. Note that the  
USB Waterproof Cover and Waterproof Ethernet Cable accessories must be purchased  
to waterproof all of the connections to the IPG100. The NMEA 2000® network interface  
is already waterproof.  
2. The orientation is not important, so the IPG100 can be mounted on a horizontal deck,  
vertical bulkhead, or upside down if desired.  
3. The IPG100 is temperature-rated to 55°C (130°F), so it should be mounted away from  
engines or engine rooms where the operating temperature exceeds the specified limit.  
2.3 Mounting the IPG100  
Attach the IPG100 securely to the vessel using the included stainless steel mounting screws or  
other fasteners as shown in Figure 6 below. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing  
methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic  
enclosure.  
Figure 6 – Mounting the IPG100

2.4 Connecting the IPG100  
2.4.1 NMEA 2000® Connection  
The NMEA 2000® connector can be found on the side of the enclosure. The NMEA 2000®  
connector is a round five pin male connector (see Figure 7). You connect the IPG100 to an  
NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or an NMEA 2000® compatible  
cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the IPG100 (note the key on the male  
connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and  
that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable  
(male) to the NMEA 2000® network in the same manner. The IPG100 is designed such that  
you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000® network while the power to the network is  
connected or disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000®  
network products.  
Figure 7 – NMEA 2000® Connector Face Views  
2.4.2 LAN Connection  
The IPG100 has one external RJ-45 LAN connector. The RJ-45 connector enables connection  
to an external network, which is necessary for N2KView® clients to be able to connect to the  
IPG100. The LAN connector can be made waterproof with the purchase of the optional  
PX837/5M00 Waterproof Ethernet Cable, which has a waterproof cover which engages the  
threads on the RJ-45 LAN connector, creating a waterproof seal.  
2.4.3 USB N2KView® Hardware License Key Connection  
The USB port on the IPG100 is for plugging in the N2KView® Hardware License Key  
(purchased separately). Hardware license keys that can be used with the IPG100 can also be  
used with the Windows N2KServer® software product. The USB connection can be made  
waterproof with the purchase of the optional PX0852 USB waterproof cover, which completely  
covers the N2KView® Hardware License Key and engages the threads on the USB connector,  
creating a waterproof seal.  
Revision 1.2  
Page 9  
 
   
IPG100 User’s Manual  
NOTE:  
There are two types of Hardware License Keys. The “old” key has a plastic case and carries a  
“SafeNet Sentinel” logo on the label. The “new” key has a gray metal case and has the Maretron  
logo etched into the metal case.  
“Old” Key:  
“New” Key:  
The “new” key is required to use with the IPG100. The “new” key will also work with the  
N2KServer® PC software (version 3.0.4 and later). If you have an “old” key from a version of  
N2KView® you previously purchased, please contact Maretron sales to upgrade it to a “new” key so  
that you can use it with the IPG100.  
2.5 Indicators  
The IPG100 has three green LED indicators on its top surface:  
NMEA 2000: This light will be red for several seconds after powerup while the IPG100 is  
initializing itself. Once this process is complete, this light will be lit a steady  
green to indicate that the main processor is active. The light will blink on and off  
to indicate data being transferred over the NMEA 2000® connection. If this light  
is lit red after the initialization has completed, it indicates that a problem has  
been detected.  
LAN:  
This light will be on steadily to indicate that there is an active link connection  
between the IPG100 and the attached device. The light will blink on and off to  
indicate data being transferred over the LAN connection. If the light is off, then  
there is no active link connection.  
USB:  
This light will be on to indicate that the USB port is active.  
3 Configuring the IPG100  
The IPG100 has several configurable parameters, which are shown below including the default  
values. If you are not using the default values, then you will need to refer to the corresponding  
section for configuring the IPG100 appropriately. You may configure the IPG100 using a  
Maretron DSM250 display or Maretron N2KAnalyzer® software.  
3.1 Advanced Configuration  
3.1.1 Device Instance  
Program this parameter to the desired instance number for this device. You can program this  
parameter to any value between 0 and 252. The default device instance is 0  
Page 10  
Revision 1.2  
 
 
®
3.1.2 Installation Description  
This entry allows you to modify the NMEA 2000® installation description text strings. You can  
enter any information you like here, such as the date the unit was installed, or the location in  
which it was installed, for later reference. Tools such as Maretron N2KAnalyzer® allow you to  
view these values later. The default installation description is blank text.  
3.1.3 Restore Factory Defaults  
This option restores all settings on the IPG100 device to their factory default state.  
3.2 Device Label  
Program this parameter with a text string which identifies this device. Maretron display  
products will display this label text when you are selecting data to display. The default device  
label is blank.  
3.3 N2KServer® Password  
Program this parameter with a text password. Any connecting N2KView® clients must be  
programmed with the same password in the “Connections Settings -> N2KServer® Connection  
->Password” field in the N2KView® software. The default password is blank.  
3.4 Maretron Cloud Services  
Configuring this entry to “Enable” allows the IPG100 to attempt a server connection to  
Maretron Cloud Services. You may then use Maretron Cloud Services to connect to the  
embedded N2KServer and access your boat’s network from anywhere with an Internet  
connection, provided that your boat has an Internet connection, your client (PC or smartphone)  
has an Internet connection, and you have subscribed to Maretron Cloud Services. If you do not  
wish to use Maretron Cloud services, set this parameter to “Disabled” (factory default), to  
prevent the IPG100 from attempting to contact Maretron Cloud Services.  
3.5 Configuring DHCP  
This parameter determines whether or not the IPG100 obtains its LAN connection settings  
from a DHCP server on the local area network. When set to “Yes” (the default value), the  
IPG100 will obtain all necessary connection settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default  
Gateway, and Default DNS) from a DHCP server on the local area network. Most routers have  
the capability to act as a DHCP server. Consult the user documentation for your network’s  
router for details.  
If there is no DHCP server on the local area network (or if the IPG100 is connected directly to  
a DSM800 or directly to an MBB100), set the “DHCP” parameter to “No” and manually  
configure the IP Address (section 3.6), Subnet Mask (section 3.7), Default Gateway (section  
3.8), Default DNS (section 3.9).  
Revision 1.2  
Page 11  
 
 
IPG100 User’s Manual  
3.6 Configuring IP Address  
This parameter is the IP (Internet Protocol) address used by the IPG100. You will need to  
specify this address to N2KView® clients in order to allow them to connect to the IPG100. If the  
“DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the “DHCP”  
parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.  
3.7 Configuring Subnet Mask  
This is a mask used to divide an IP Address into subnets. Basically, it tells the computer how  
much of the IP Address defines the network, and how much may be used by computers on the  
network. For most networks, the first three parts of the IP address define the network (i.e.,  
every computer on the network must have the same values), and the last part defines the  
computer (i.e., every computer on the network must have a different value). Where the value  
255 appears in the subnet mask, the values define the network and must be the same.  
The most common value is 255.255.255.0.  
If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to configure this parameter. If the  
“DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this parameter.  
3.8 Configuring Default Gateway  
This is the IP address of the router. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “Yes”, you do not need to  
configure this parameter. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to configure this  
parameter.  
3.9 Configuring Default DNS  
This is the IP address of a computer on the Internet that can identify and locate computer  
systems and resources on the internet. In most cases, this should not be required by the  
IPG100 and may be left blank. If the “DHCP” parameter is set to “No”, you will need to  
configure this parameter.  
4 Maintenance  
Regular maintenance is not required; however, an occasional inspection will ensure continued  
proper operation of the Maretron IPG100. Perform the following tasks periodically:  
Clean the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove  
paint or markings or may corrode the IPG100 enclosure or seals. Do not use any  
cleaners containing acetone, as they will deteriorate the plastic enclosure.  
Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting  
surface. If the unit is loose, tighten the mounting screws.  
Check the security of all cable connections and tighten if necessary.

9 Maretron (2 Year) Limited Warranty  
Maretron warrants the IPG100 to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two (2) years from the

satisfaction to fail to meet the above limited warranty, such products shall be repaired or replaced at Maretron’s  
option. Purchaser's exclusive remedy and Maretron’s sole obligation hereunder, provided product is returned  
pursuant to the return requirements below, shall be limited to the repair or replacement, at Maretron’s option, of  
any product not meeting the above limited warranty and which is returned to Maretron; or if Maretron is unable to  
deliver a replacement that is free from defects in materials or workmanship, Purchaser’s payment for such  
product will be refunded. Maretron assumes no liability whatsoever for expenses of removing any defective  
product or part or for installing the repaired product or part or a replacement therefore or for any loss or damage  
to equipment in connection with which Maretron’s products or parts shall be used. With respect to products not  
manufactured by Maretron, Maretron’s warranty obligation shall in all respects conform to and be limited to the  
warranty actually extended to Maretron by its supplier. The foregoing warranties shall not apply with respect to  
products subjected to negligence, misuse, misapplication, accident, damages by circumstances beyond  
Maretron’s control, to improper installation, operation, maintenance, or storage, or to other than normal use or  
service.  
THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR  
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  
Statements made by any person, including representatives of Maretron, which are inconsistent or in conflict with  
the terms of this Limited Warranty, shall not be binding upon Maretron unless reduced to writing and approved by  
an officer of Maretron.  
IN NO CASE WILL MARETRON BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, DAMAGES  
FOR LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS OR SAVINGS, OR ANY OTHER LOSS INCURRED  
BECAUSE OF INTERRUPTION OF SERVICE. IN NO EVENT SHALL MARETRON’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY  
EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT(S) INVOLVED. MARETRON SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT  
TO ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OR  
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHER THEORIES OF LAW WITH RESPECT TO  
PRODUCTS SOLD OR SERVICES RENDERED BY MARETRON, OR ANY UNDERTAKINGS, ACTS OR  
OMISSIONS RELATING THERETO.  
Maretron does not warrant that the functions contained in any software programs or products will meet  
purchaser’s requirements or that the operation of the software programs or products will be uninterrupted or error  
free. Purchaser assumes responsibility for the selection of the software programs or products to achieve the  
intended results, and for the installation, use and results obtained from said programs or products. No  
specifications, samples, descriptions, or illustrations provided Maretron to Purchaser, whether directly, in trade  
literature, brochures or other documentation shall be construed as warranties of any kind, and any failure to conform  
with such specifications, samples, descriptions, or illustrations shall not constitute any breach of Maretron’s limited  
warranty.
