Configuring the FAR2XX7 Series Radar

for use with MaxSea Time Zero

Introduction

In order to operate with MaxSea Time Zero AND NavNet3D, the FAR2XX7’s processor

software must be version 02.5x.

If you plan to connect one or multiple FAR2XX7(s) directly to MaxSea Time Zero

without NavNet3D, you can use version 02.5x or version 03.xx

To check the software version of the FAR2XX7, perform the following steps:

Press or left click MENU, then 9-8-2-2 (SELF TEST)

If a radar software change is required, check the appropriate product pages’ documents

section at www.furuno.com for the correct procedures.

Check and Assign Radar Hostname(s):

When multiple radars are networked or inter-switched together, a unique number must be

assigned to each processor. Note that for MaxSea to correctly detect the radar, one

FAR2xx7 must be assigned to “RADAR1” (IP address = 172.31.3.6).

To assign the radar a number, hold “HL OFF” and press the “MENU” key 5 times. The

“Initialize” menu will appear. Select “Installation” (4), then Radar NO (4). You may also

want to set-up the Radar Antenna Position (5). Once the radar number is changed, the

radar must be powered down and then turned back on to store the new setting. If

applicable, follow the same procedure for each radar in the network, and then confirm

that each radar number is unique. You cannot have two radars on the same network with

the same name.

Note: Whenever a network change is made, it is recommended that all radars are

powered down and restarted.

To confirm the network settings and communications between multiple radars, power up

all of the radars in the network, then right click on the Radar Antenna box (top left

corner). The antenna information for all of the available radars in a network will appear

on the right in the menu panel. Be sure that all the radars on the network are all listed in

this panel. If not, check the cables and the network settings.
