Choosing the Right NGW-1

Choosing the Right NGW-1

"Why do I need an NGW-1?"

Due to the incompatibilities between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, an Actisense NGW-1 is needed to bi-directionally convert data between the two standards.

      If your NMEA 0183 Listener is not showing any data when connected to the NMEA 0183 output of an NGW-1, the first step for fault finding should be to see if the NGW-1 supports the conversions you need. For more information on the steps taken when ...

    • NMEA 2000 Device Prioritisation

      When there is more than one device of the same type (like a GPS) on the NMEA 2000 network, the NGW-1 will use the data from the highest priority (lowest source address). If the device you'd rather use as a secondary Talker for the NGW-1 claims a ...
