If you have connected two or more E-Series Displays (via either a crossover coupler or SeaTalk High
Speed Switch), data can be transferred across the network enabling you to input, view and maintain
data across all your Displays irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting
Video Input).
Operating a networked E-Series Display
Card No. 16
What does a networked system do?
The Display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be switched on
(preferably first). The master display maintains the waypoint, route and track lists as well as data
from NMEA and SeaTalk. Each time the master display detects a change on any display e.g.
waypoint, route or track added or edited, the data is copied to the database which in turn is copied
to all othr Displays that are switched on.
If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because a master has
not been selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to set a master display.
How is the network controlled?
On the display that you wish to nominate as the master:
1. Press MENU.
2. Highlight and select System Setup
3. Highlight and select System Integration.
4. Highlight and select Data Master.
5. Select ON.
Any such changes that you make to the nominated master will be saved when you power off.
How do I change the master display?
