13.4.3. Wiring
The Navico device needs to be connected to the GX device using Ethernet. Its not possible to connect over WiFi. For the
Ethernet connection, a Navico adapter is required as the Navico MFDs feature a round water proof connector on the back. The
adapters can be purchased from Navico:
• ETHADAPT-2M 127-56
• CABLE RJ45M-5F ETH ADPTR NONWATERPRF
13.4.4. GX device configuration
1. On the Victron GX device, go to Settings → Services, and there enable both MQTT on LAN (SSL) and MQTT
on LAN (Plaintext).
2. Next, go to Menu → Settings → System Setup → Battery Measurements, and there set up what batteries you want to see on
the MFD; and by what name.
3. For boats, RVs and other applications with DC loads such as lighting and a Battery Monitor installed, make sure to enable the
“Has DC system setting”. For more information about it, see the Menu structure and configurable parameters [37] chapter.
No other settings such as IP addresses or similar are required. The GX device and the Navico devices connect to each other
using a technology called linklocal addressing.
It is possible to connect the router to the same LAN; and that way connect the GX device to the internet. The GX device can also
be connected to the internet via WiFi or with a GX LTE 4G.
Note that the GX LTE 4G can only be used if the MFD and GX device are directly connected to each other, without a router.
