13.5.7. NMEA 2000
Besides connecting over ethernet, a GarminMFD can also be connected to the Victron system using NMEA 2000. If you’re new to
NMEA 2000 & Victron, start with reading theNMEA 2000 & MFD integration guide.
The MFD can be configured easily to display the data from the GX device. There is no need to change any instance.
To setup NMEA 2000 on the MFD, go to Settings > Communications > NMEA 2000 Setup > Device List. Here you can view
information about the connected products and change their names. Note that the names are stored on the MFD and not on the
NMEA 2000 device.
