Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron MBB100 Black Box for Vessel Monitoring and 
Control. Maretron has designed and built your black box to the highest standards for years of 
dependable and accurate service. 
 
The Maretron Black Box (MBB100) is a dedicated processing unit that comes preloaded with 
Maretron’s N2KView

®

 vessel monitoring and control software (N2KView

®

 hardware license key sold 

separately). Unlike a PC that allows any software to be loaded, the MBB100 runs only N2KView

®

 

software making it extremely stable and dedicated to monitoring and controlling your vessel. 
 
The MBB100 is ruggedized for marine use and includes a solid state disk drive to withstand the 
pounding associated with waves. And since the MBB100 dissipates less than 20 watts, there is no 
need for internal cooling fans that are noisy and wear out causing electronics to overheat and fail. 
 
The MBB100 connects to a monitor through a VGA connector and associated touch screen through a 
USB or serial port connection. Alternatives to controlling the N2KView

®

 software through a touch 

screen include keyboards, mice, or track balls connected through USB. The MBB100 has an Ethernet 
port for communicating with an NMEA 2000

®

Protocol Gateway (IPG100). Alternatively, the MBB100 can network through Ethernet to a PC running 
N2KServer

®

. Although the MBB100 comes pre-installed with the N2KView

®

 software, a separately 

purchased N2KView hardware license key plugged into the IPG100 (or PC) is required (see IPG100 
User’s Manual for more details). The Ethernet port is also used for connecting Internet Protocol (IP) 
cameras for viewing within the N2KView
