Master Chart Plotter

Operating mode
To select the Master mode follow the procedure:
[MENU] + "SETUP" + [ENTER] + "Input/Output" + [ENTER] + "C-LINK" +
[ENTER] + "Primary Station" + [ENTER]
Master mode is the default factory setting. All regular chart plotters' functions are
allowed. As soon as the Destination is placed, the master chart plotter will start
transmitting all C-Link navigation data,
In Master mode the C-Link navigation data received from the NMEA port is ig-
nored. So, if the two chart plotters are both operating in Master mode, the C-Link
navigation data sent by the other Chart Plotter never processed. Under such
condition if the navigation is activated on one of the two Chart Plotters, a warning
message will be shown to notify that the C-Link navigation data will be ignored by
the other Chart Plotter.

Slave Chart Plotter

Operating mode
To select the Slave mode follow the procedure:
[MENU] + "SETUP" + [ENTER] + "Input/Output" + [ENTER] + "C-LINK" +
[ENTER] + "Secondary Station" + [ENTER]
When Slave mode is set, the chart plotter cannot manipulate the C-Link naviga-
tion data anymore.
Stop current navigation
If the navigation was already active, it will be disabled as soon as Slave mode is
set. An appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation
is already active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.
Inhibit Navigation operation
As soon as Slave mode is set, the destination cannot be placed anymore either
the C-Link navigation data is received from the Master or not. Also, when the C-
Link navigation data is received from the Master, it will not be allowed to deacti-
vate the Navigation.
Inhibit Route following
While navigating to the route received from the Master the destination is reached
(either applying distance or perpendicular criteria), the destination will not be
moved to the next waypoint on the route.
MOB handling
If the Navigation to the external destination is active and the MOB key is pressed
on the Slave Chart Plotter, the MOB is placed but the navigation to the MOB is not
activated.
Notes
While navigating to the external destination the Operating Mode is switched to
Master mode, the navigation to the external destination will be terminated. An
appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation to the
external destination is active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.
Setting Slave mode, the C-Link navigation data will be deleted.
The C-Link navigation data are deleted at Power Off.

C-Link navigation data: Acquisition and Display

As soon as the C-Link navigation data is received, the Slave parses the information
received and executes the relative actions depending on its current working status.
Note When the Navigation to the external Destination is activated, the Slave Chart
Plotter will show all relevant C-Link navigation data exactly like when the
