Defining a Master system
A master station is usually defined and units assigned to the master station during system
setup. Refer to the separate autopilot installation manual for details.
¼ Note:
When a SimNet group Station is set to Master, one control unit in this steering station
has to be defined as the Master unit as shown below.
