Garmin BlueNet Network with an OnDeck GTB 10 hub and Legacy Garmin Marine Network Devices

If your Garmin BlueNet™ network includes an OnDeck™ GTB 10 hub and legacy Garmin® Marine Network devices, you must connect the OnDeck GTB 10 hub directly to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch for proper functionality.

You should use the appropriate Garmin BlueNet network to RJ45 adapter cable (010-12531-01) to connect an OnDeck GTB 10 hub directly to a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter or Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.

NOTICE

This is a notable exception to the common requirement for connecting legacy Garmin Marine Network devices through a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway. Connecting an OnDeck GTB 10 hub to a Garmin BlueNet network through a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway will result in network performance issues.
