True or False? If you are using a NMEA 2000 Gateway to bring NMEA 0183 data onto the network, the NMEA 0183 device will show up as a connected device on the network.

Explanation:
NMEA 2000 is a CAN-based network where each node on the bus is a NMEA 2000 device. A gateway that brings NMEA 0183 data onto the 2000 network acts as a translator and itself appears as a single NMEA 2000 device on the bus, publishing PGNs derived from the 0183 sources. The original NMEA 0183 device remains on its own interface (e.g., RS-232/USB) and is not a NMEA 2000 node. Therefore, the 0183 device will not show up as a connected device on the NMEA 2000 network; only the gateway does. This is false.
