2. Networking with Fusion Stereos via NMEA2000 –
NavNet TZtouch2 and TZtouch3 Only
2.1. Compatible Fusion Stereos
Fusion stereos with NMEA2000 interface can be connected to the NavNet TZtouch2/3 network for control via NMEA2000.
When connected by NMEA 2000; they should not be connected to Ethernet. ONLY one method used not both.
For stereo models with NMEA2000, refer to the product information in the Fusion website.
<http://www.fusionentertainment.com/>.

2.2. Interconnection with Fusion Stereos
There is no special setting or tips required to connect Fusion
stereos to the NavNet TZtouch2/3 network via NMEA2000: Just
connect the stereo to the backbone of NMEA2000 bus.

2.3. Limitation for NMEA2000 Network
When Fusion stereos are networked via NMEA2000, album artwork will not be shown on the FUSION-Link page or the
media bar. The artwork will be shown with Ethernet connected systems only.
3. Networking with Fusion Stereos via Ethernet

Note:
The MS755, MS750, and MS700 series, already discontinued can also be networked with MFDs via Ethernet.

3.2. Interconnection with Fusion Stereos
Fusion stereos can be networked with the MFDs as follows. The stereos should be assigned with an IP address by
manual setting as shown in Section 3.3.
Notes:
(1) FUSION-Link supports both NMEA2000 and Ethernet protocols, but NavNet TZtouch and TZtouch2 MFDs use the
Ethernet network to interface with Fusion stereos for FUSION-Link. Note that the TZT9/14/BB and
TZTL12F/15F/2BB does NOT support an NMEA2000 connection for FUSION-Link.
(2) Wi-Fi network between Fusion APOLLO series and MFDs is NOT available.
(3) The MS700 version should be 1.1.3255 or later in order to have a static IP option. For detailed user update
procedures, follow the Fusion MS700 instructions.
3.3. Assigning a Static IP to Fusion Stereos
Assign either one of the following Class-B or -C IP addresses and subnet mask to the stereos as shown in the following
procedures.
Settings
Class-B
Class-C
IP Address
172.31.xxx.xxx
192.168.252.xxx
Subnet Mask (*2)
255.255.000.000
255.255.255.000
For Network with…
TZT9/14/BB, TZTL12F/15F/2BB (*2),
and/or TZT9F/12F/16F/19F (*2)
TZT9/14/BB
Notes:
(1) Make sure to enter the subnet mask corresponding to the IP address.
(2) For network with the TZTL12F/15F/2BB and TZT9F/12F/16F/19F, assign a Class-B IP
(172.031.xxx.xxx / 255.255.000.000) to the stereos. The TZT9/14/BB is also compatible with both Class-B
and -C IP address ranges.

5
Procedures (Screenshots from MS-RA770)
In [Settings] –[NETWORK] –[ADVANCED] –[ETHERNET IP], check [STATIC IP] and set the IP address to
[172.31.xxx.xxx] in [IP] and subnet mask to [255.255.0.0] in [MASK].
E.g. STATIC IP page
IP: 172.31.6.16
MASK: 255.255.0.0
4. Confirming Network
After the stereo is connected to the NMEA2000 backbone (for connection via NMEA2000) or after the IP assignment by
manual setting or a DHCP is complete (for connection via Ethernet), you can confirm that the stereo is properly detected
in the MFD network, referring to
the Sensor List page: Access
[
Home]
–
[
Menu] / [Settings]
–
[
Initial Setup]
–
[
Sensor List
]
and see that the stereo is
available.
In this example,
the
MS
-
RA770 from MS770 series is
connected to the NMEA2000
backbone and the MS
-
SRX400
from APOLLO series is connected
to the Ethernet.

5.5. FUSION-Link Page for Different Resolutions
Due to different screen resolutions, the media bar on a small MFD such as the TZT9 and TZT9F occupies some space
at the bottom of the navigation page. See the following screenshots for comparison of the TZT9 with the TZT14 and
TZTBB (wide resolutions).

TZT14 and TZTBB (Wide)
You need to scroll the left side of the Home page
to reach the Fusion icon before opening the

There is no significant difference in the full page.
When the media bar is shown at the bottom of
the screen, the active area of the navigation page
reduces, compared to the TZT14/BB.
Note:
There is no significant difference between the TZTL12F/TZT12F and TZTL15F/TZT16F because they have similar screen
resolutions.

5.6. Automatic Volume Adjustment by Speed
The faster the boat speed is, the louder the audio volume should be because the engine noise will be louder. However,
it is sometimes inconvenient to adjust the volume while running a boat. The auto volume adjustment feature helps
to automatically increase or decrease the volume based on the preset boat speeds. Note that this feature is
available on the TZT9/14/BB v4.01 or later and all versions from TZTL12F/15F/2BB and TZT9F/12F/16F/19F.
Settings
[Menu] / [Settings] –[Initial Setup] –[Fusion]
[Fusion Auto Volume] –[ON]
[Minimum Speed] –[0] to [99] (Default: 6kn)
[Maximum Speed] –[0] to [99] (Default: 20 kn)
[Volume Increase %] –[10] to [50] (Default: 20%)
In the default settings above, the volume will be automatically
adjusted when the boat speed is between 6 and 20 knots. As an
example, the volume is set to [15] first. When the ship speed
reaches 6 knots, the volume is still [15]. When the speed
reaches 20 knots, the volume will be [18], increased from 15 by
20%. As the speed increases from 6 to 20 knots, the volume
incrementally changes from 15 to 18.
