Hello, This is a bit specialised but may help a Jeanneau owner or someone if they google search for this information.
I have tried to find the pin assignments for the adapter cable supplied by Mastervolt to allow a CZone installation to be adjusted using the CZone configuration software. It requires the Mastervolt Masterbus to USB adapter as used by the Masteradjust software for adjusting Mastervolt equipment. That adapter can also be used to provide an interface between CZone (using an NMEA2000 backbone)and the CZone configuration software. The only catch is it needs the Mastervolt-CZone Drop Cable. The Mastervolt-CZone Drop cable is a simple cable with a male NMEA 2000 connector on one end and a RJ45 connector on the other.
You can easily buy one and they are cheap but if you are on a boat trying to get it working you need it right now. I could not find the pin assignments anywhere using google search. It was just so annoying because it is so simple. You just need to know the pinouts and you can make one in about 5 minutes.
If you are in this position you can use the diagram below to make your own.
Good luck with it.
