Garmin BlueNet Network Construction Example
Creating a Garmin BlueNet network containing legacy Garmin Marine Network devices may be confusing,
and it is critical that the network is constructed correctly in order for all connected devices to communicate
effectively. You can use this example to better understand how to properly connect legacy Garmin Marine
Network devices to a Garmin BlueNet network.
For more information about Garmin BlueNet network technology, go to garmin.com/manuals/bluenet
Item Description Notes
Garmin BlueNet
network devices
All Garmin BlueNet network devices must connect to one another or to a Garmin
BlueNet 20 switch.
Only one Garmin BlueNet network device or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch must connect
to the Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to communicate with the legacy Garmin Marine
Network devices.
Depending on the types of devices you plan to connect, there are requirements you
may need to follow when constructing the network (Specific Garmin BlueNet Device
Network Connection Requirements, page6).
Legacy Garmin
Marine Network
devices
If you have more than two legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, these devices must
connect to one another or to a GMS 10 switch.
Only one legacy Garmin Marine Network device or GMS 10 switch needs to connect
to the Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to communicate with the Garmin BlueNet network
devices.
If you have only two legacy Garmin Marine Network devices, you can connect them
both to the Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway without first connecting them to one another.

Specific Garmin BlueNet Device Network Connection Requirements
When connecting devices to a Garmin BlueNet network, you should follow these requirements for specific
devices that may be present in the network.
• OnDeck™ GTB 10 hub:
◦You must connect an OnDeck GTB 10 hub to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
◦You must use the proper Garmin BlueNet network to RJ45 adapter cable (010-12531-01) to connect an
OnDeck GTB 10 to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
• Fusion® network stereos:
◦If you have connected multiple compatible Fusion stereos together using Fusion PartyBus™ networking
technology and you want to connect one of them to a chartplotter, you should connect one of the stereos
or a switch dedicated to the Fusion PartyBus network stereos to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin
BlueNet 20 switch for the best performance.
◦You should use the proper Garmin BlueNet network to RJ45 adapter cable (010-12531-02) to connect a
Fusion network stereo to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
• Third-party IP cameras:
◦All compatible third-party IP cameras should connect to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet
20 switch for the best performance.
NOTE: If you presently have an IP camera installed and connected to a legacy Garmin Marine Network
chartplotter on your boat, it is not necessary to disconnect it and rewire the camera so it can connect
to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter. If you have removed all legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotters,
however, you must connect the camera to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
◦Although it is necessary to install a PoE isolation coupler when connecting a third-party IP camera to a
legacy Garmin Marine Network device, this isolation coupler is not required when connecting a third-party
IP camera to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
◦You should use the proper Garmin BlueNet network to RJ45 adapter cable (010-12531-02) to connect a
compatible third-party IP camera to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
• Garmin devices with small network connectors:
◦A number of Garmin devices were produced with small network connectors prior to the introduction of
Garmin BlueNet network technology, and these devices were packaged with an adapter that allowed them
to function on a legacy Garmin Marine Network.
◦All Garmin devices with small network connectors should connect to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or
Garmin BlueNet 20 switch for the best performance.
NOTE: If you presently have Garmin device with a small network connector installed and connected to
a legacy Garmin Marine Network chartplotter or GMS 10 switch on your boat, it is not necessary to
disconnect it and rewire the device so it can connect to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter. These devices will
continue to function as expected when connected through the Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway, although it is
preferable to connect to a a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch if the installation
allows for it.
◦You should not use the adapter packaged with the device to connect it to a legacy Garmin Marine Network
device before connecting to the Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway. Connect the device directly to a Garmin
BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch using a Garmin BlueNet network cable.
◦The first time you perform a marine software update on a connected Garmin BlueNet chartplotter, all of
the connected devices will be updated to communicate properly on the Garmin BlueNet network.
