Mounting the NeXuX Connect GPS Antenna  

The NeXuX Connect has a powerful GNSS (GPS+GLONASS+GAILEO)  

receiver, which can provide position and timing data for logging and  

geo-fencing. It is also possible to configure it to send this data to the  

NMEA 2000 interface, but this is not enabled by default.  

A small passive, adhesive backed, GPS antenna is supplied with 3m of  

cable. It is designed for discrete mounting, inside the boat and should  

be mounted close to a window or where there is just glass or GRP  

between the antenna and the sky.  

The SMA connector should be screwed into the GPS connector on the NeXuX Connect.  

For installations that require an external GPS sensor, Digital Yacht can supply the MA800 antenna (Part/No X500.391)  

which comes with 10m of cable and can be fitted on a standard 1”x14TPI thread VHF/GPS mounting bracket.  

3.4  

Power Requirements  

The unit is designed to work on vessels with a 12V or 24V DC system (9-30V DC Input voltage). It should be wired to a 1  

Amp fused or circuit breaker protected circuit and if connected to a higher amperage circuit, then a 1A in-line fuse should  

be used to protect the NeXuX Connect wiring.  

The NeXuX Connect has a two-core power cable with a Red (+) and Black (-) wire. Be very careful to ensure that the  

correct supply voltage polarity is connected to the NeXuX Connect, as reverse polarity will damage the unit. Once  

connected to the vessel’s 12v/24v DC system, do not apply power but continue with the installation steps below.  

3.5  

Network Connections  

The NeXuX Connect has four RJ45 Ethernet connectors; 3x LAN and 1x WAN. If you wish to connect additional wired  

devices to the NeXuX Connect’s local area network (LAN) such as a Smart TV, fixed mount computer, VOIP Phone, etc.  

then use a conventional network cable to connect the devices to any of the 3x LAN sockets of the NeXuX Connect.  

If you wish to connect another Ethernet based internet connection, such as StarLink, then this should be connected to the  

NeXuX Connect’s WAN socket using a conventional network cable.  

If you are regularly visiting marinas with good Wi-Fi hotspots, then you may wish to add Digital Yacht’s Long Range WiFi  

kit which can allow one of the NeXuX Connect’s wireless interfaces to connect to either a 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless  

hotspot and use that as its connection to the internet, rather than its own mobile 4G/5G connection.  

The NeXuX Connect can be instructed to use its mobile connection, a wired WAN connection or a WiFi connection to  

access the internet, via the units web interface, which is covered later in this manual.  

3.6  

Inserting a 5G/4G data SIM card  

To connect to the internet, the NeXuX Connect must have a 5G/4G data SIM inserted which is registered to a valid  

mobile operator account. Any mobile operator’s SIM can be used that is the Standard SIM (15 x 25mm) size.  

The NeXuX Connect has two standard SIM slots and it is possible to fit two SIMs from two different network operators.  

You can set SIM switching rules to decide which SIM is given preference i.e. No network, weak signal, data limit reached,  

etc.  

To insert a SIM (Fig 7), remove the SIM extractor tool (1) and gently press the end of the tool into the hole to the right of  

the SIM tray you wish to use. The tray will partially eject, and you can then pull the SIM tray out completely. Place the
