You can now have access to the multiplexer settings through Network Settings dialog box.
Configuring Inputs
You can configure the NMEA inputs of the multiplexer from MPX-Config3 software.
NMEA devices are connected to the multiplexer. See NMEA Multiplexer Cabling on page 49 for
guidance.
Important: Close Scala if open: MPX-Config3 software uses UDP channel to transmit and
receive commands to the MiniPlex multiplexer. This channel needs to remain exclusive
during the configuration of the multiplexer.
Important: ShipModul multiplexer cannot read NMEA messages longer than the standard
maximum length (82 characters), nor other format messages longer than 61 characters, nor
Marelec messages. Use another multiplexer if this is your case.
You need to indicate the correct baud speed for each input so that the mulitplexer can extract data
and diffuse it correctly through all outputs.
NMEA0183 Example
• Device 1 is a heading sensor with GPS at 4800 bauds.
• Device 2 is a warp length sensor module at 9600 bauds.
The multiplexer has to be set up the following way:
As it is, the multiplexer will not output NMEA messages to Output 1 or 2. Only UDP output on port
10110 will be done.
If Device 1 and Device 2 emit the same type of data (e.g. temperature, position), give them a talker
ID like the following image, in order to distinguish data between the two of them when they are
received by Scala.
