Networking E-Series Displays
You can connect two or more E-Series Displays to create a network. This will enable
you to input, view and maintain data across all your Displays and enable multiple
SeaTalk instruments to communicate with one another.
When you are installing a network of E-Series Displays you should note the following:
One display will act as the master, into which all SeaTalk/SeaTalk
2
connections
should be made.
If you connect the master display to all other displays in the system via SeaTalk or
SeaTalk
2
, you will negate the need to unplug and reconnect cabling if the master
becomes redundant.
The bridging of data from SeaTalk/SeaTalk
2
only occurs at the master. You cannot
therefore have additional networks connected to additional E-Series Displays. You
can however connect multiple NMEA inputs.
As it is not possible to view a video image across the network, you should connect
the Video In cable to the display on which you wish to view the image.
The following two pages detail a simple E-Series Networked System with two E-Series
displays and no DSM and a more advanced, multiple node system incorporating two
(or more) displays and a DSM 300.
