Page 7: Introduction
Introduction The NEP-2 module is a five port marine Ethernet switch designed for use with compatible Simrad and Lowrance Ethernet devices. It can be used to share sonar, radar weather information over the network. Lowrance HDS and Simrad NSE multi-functional displays are not designed to inter-operate and exchange data over the same network —even though they inter-operate using many of the same components. -
