WIF-1 units. Two external WIFI-1 units will offer the advantage of providing both features to
all MFDs on the network (where applicable).
Network settings
Device name
Assigning a name is useful in systems using more than one device of the same type and size.
When viewing data sources or the device list, the assigned name will append the default
product name + virtual device function for easy identification.
Sources
Data sources provide live data to the system.
The data may originate from modules internal to the unit, or external modules connected
through NMEA 2000 or via NMEA 0183 if available on the unit.
When a device is connected to more than one source providing the same data, the user can
choose the preferred source. Before commencing with source selection make sure all
external devices and the NMEA 2000 backbone are connected and turned on.
Auto Select
The Auto Select option looks for all sources connected to the device. If more than one source
is available for each data type, selection is made from an internal priority list. This option is
suitable for the majority of installations.
Manual source selection
Manual selection is generally only required where there is more than one source for the same
data, and the automatically selected source is not the one desired.
