I think I just gave you bad info, I remotely jumped into my TZ pc and the 172.31.252.55 ip it’s assigned is dhcp, not sure where it’s getting that assignment, I’ll look once I’m up there but my guess is its from the tat.
The TZ Pro install manual has this comment in a specific section dedicated to setting up a DRS to TZ connection without an MFD on page 253.
"The computer needs to have an IP address that “matches” the Furuno Network (172.31.x.x/255.255.0.0) in order to exchange information with the DRS. We highly recommended using 172.31.3.150 as a fixed IP address for the computer with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0."
That looks correct but I’d add a switch to the diagram as you will need one. Also a second interface will be needed for internet access from the PC.
1. My phone deciding tat made more sense than tzt ?This is excellent, thank you!!
First question: When you say "tat", what is that?
Second question: You mention a recommended switch... I purchased this one but if you think there's not a chance this will work correctly, I'll upgrade to a better one:

It sounds like I should hard IP the address of the PC to 172.31.3.150 (with Class B subnet mask). I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Thanks again!
I’ve been very happy with this switch. 12v, easy install, simple switch.
Mine is setup with fixed IP addresses. Two nucs, the radar and the DFF are the only things on it.

Yes those are great, I use them everywhere I don’t need poe. The one Furuno told me to use (other than the one they make) was a Netgear prosafe. I’d go with what airstream recommended however.

I’ll have to dig it up when I’m off my phone, but I found a DIN rail mounted, 12 or 24V POE switch that I have been using. 90% of the POE switches require a 48V power input, but these have the converter built in. And the support the real 802.1 POE, not this BS 12 or 24V pretend POE that some products use.
Thanks. I'm curious what you use POE for? Cameras, maybe?
I'm just going to have radar, sonar, and my nav PC(s) on this switch.

Would love to know if you find out the maker/model of this, rewiring my electronics this month and would like to drop those 48v step ups.

You are correct, /16 should be 255.255.0.0
Don’t worry about gateway or dns, you don’t want the computer to think it can get outside the private network over this interface.
You can technically mix&match this with generally clean results. Most DHCP server packages are smart enough to ping the address they hope to issue before they issue it, so any mistakes in setting up the pool are generally accounted for (unless a static-addressed device is off at that moment). Most DHCP server packages have ways to do exclusions (subtract one address out of a pool, without having to manually rewrite the pool definitions) as well as do reservations (hard-select the address to issue to a particular MAC address).Obviously the yellow Ethernet "bus" will physically be a switch. But I'm wondering how address assignment happens. Will I need DHCP services running here (like on the PC), or does it work via hard-IP addressing?
Trying to connect to my new Furuno radar and I'm stuck trying to set up the IP addresses on my nav PC, running Windows 10.
