5.7.2.1 Device Instance
This option will normally be used on large complicated systems, where
there maybe more than one radio system or AIS on the same SimNet bus.
For example, the system may contain more than one AI50.
To prevent conflict across the network, these can each be assigned a
unique device number between 0 and 255 in steps of 1. Fig. 5.23.
From the Network Management highlight “Device Instance” and press
the MENU or ► key. Using the ▲▼ keys select a Device Instance
number and press MENU or ► to enter it into memory.
Press ◄ to exit and return to the previous menu.
5.7.2.2 System Instance
A SimNet system can have a maximum of 50 devices or “Nodes” attached
to it. If a large vessel has a requirement for more than 50 nodes, then a
multiple network system is required. The system Instance allows the user
to allocate a unique number between 0 and 15 to each network, which
allows the multiple networks to intercommunicate.
If your vessel is large enough that it is likely to require setting up multiple
networks, it is strongly advised that you contact Simrad Technical Support
to discuss you particular system requirements before proceeding further.
From the Network Management highlight “System Instance” and press
the MENU or ► key. Using the ▲▼ keys select a System Instance
number and press MENU or ► to enter it into memory.
