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.

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.
