The NGW-1 Conversion Lists are available on the download page – there is one list for the standard firmware variants (NGW-1-ISO, NGW-1-USB and NGW-1-STNG) and one list for the AIS firmware variants (NGW-1-ISO-AIS and NGW-1-USB-AIS)...

All ISO-Drive variants (NGW-1-ISO, NGW-1-ISO-AIS and NGW-1-STNG) are completely powered from the NMEA 2000 network and have an NMEA 2000 LEN of 1 (50 mA or less). Once connected to a powered and terminated NMEA 2000 network, the NGW-1-ISO LEDs will flash...

All NGW-1 variants have a standard NMEA 2000 drop cable and connector (DeviceNet M12, A polarised, male Micro C) for direct connection to an NMEA 2000 backbone T-piece or adapter cable for manufacturer proprietary networks...

If you want to use the NGW-1 with NMEA 0183 waypoint names, they have to be purely numeric – e.g. a valid waypoint name is “73”, an invalid name is “waypoint 73” in order for the NGW-1 to correctly convert it to NMEA 2000. This is because NMEA 2000 waypoint names can only be numeric (at their lowest level). Converting NMEA 2000 waypoint names to NMEA 0183...

This is unfortunately not possible. Doing so would create a data loop which will quickly use up the narrow bandwidth available to NMEA 0183 devices and prevent vital data from being transmitted...

"Why do I need an NGW-1?" Due to the incompatibilities between NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000, an Actisense NGW-1 is needed to bi-directionally convert data between the two standards.
