2.5.1. Connecting the DRS to MFD8/12
Standalone Installation:
When the MFD8/12 and the Radar are the only Ethernet sensors, you can connect the
Radar Ethernet connection directly to the back of the MFD8/12.
Network Installation:
As soon as multiple MFD8/12 or other Ethernet sensors (i.e. DFF1 Fish Finder, BBWX1
Sirius receiver, etc.) are used, the Radar Ethernet connection must be connected to an
Ethernet Hub. In this case an Ethernet coupler can be used to extend the Ethernet part
of the Siamese Cable
Example of straight Ethernet Coupler (FUSA P/N= RJ4-5CN-STR):
Note: This Ethernet coupler is not waterproof.
