Dear Furuno Team,
In the current stream of extended connectivity, wi-fi portable, wi-fi phones and tablet, the usage of remote display... the fact that more and more a boat has more computers than a home... what are the best practices to implement ethernet on a boat without the risk of disrupting the navnet network ?
For example i have a Furuno HUB 101 to which are connected the MFD12, FA50, DRS4D, FAX30 and PCs running Maxsea.
I want to be able to use public wifi while on the boat so if i install an external amplified antenna should it be connected to the current ethernet network ? That would permit my Maxsea to be able to download grib files, point of interest and more. I could then have a wireless network inside the boat as well, all connected to the same ethernet network.
It this the way it should be done or should we keep an isolation between the HUB 101 network and any other connected to internet ? That would mean for PC running Maxsea that another physical interface should be implemented.
Thanks for sharing your thought on the subject,
Best regards :furuno
