This section describes how to connect to the sonar, ensure all supporting data is present within the system
for proper operation, and correctly time sync the 6205s data. It also briefly describes the EdgeTech

6.1 Connecting to Sonar via Remote Desktop
A user can connect to the 6205’s internal computer using Window’s Remote Desktop application and view
the sonar application (Sonar.exe) to check the status of the supporting data if a device is not connected

port is causing the error. It is not recommended to connect to the sonar without EdgeTech support, except
for the Instructions Below.
