Detecting the Multiplexer
You need to detect the multiplexer on the network to be able to use it. Wiring and configuration
change according to your type of network installation.
Before you begin
• Scala must be closed.
• You can connect a device outputting NMEA data to the mutliplexer beforehand to see directly if
the connection is working.
• If you have devices connected on different networks but no DHCP server, make sure that each
device is on a different subnet. When adding a device on a new network, check that the third set
of numbers of its IP address is different from other subnets: you can choose a number between 0
and 254. Avoid 192.168.1 and do not use 192.168.44.
About this task
Follow the procedure corresponding to your network installation.
