2.9 Operating a networked E-Series Display

What does a networked system do?

If you have connected two or more E-Series Displays (via either a crossover coupler or
SeaTalk High Speed Network Switch), data is transferred across the network enabling
you to input, view and maintain applications and data across all your Displays
irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting Video Input).
To ensure that the latest data i.e. SeaTalk data and waypoints, routes and tracks
databases is available at all displays, the system needs one display to be designated as
the data master.

Controlling a network

System data including user-created databases are managed by the data master. The
display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be
switched on (preferably first). The master display will copy its database to all other
Displays that are switched on, each time it detects a change.
If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because
a master has not been selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to select
a master display.
Note: The data master copies its database to all other displays in the system. To pre-
vent loss of data when adding displays, or changing the master, ensure that you select
the appropriate display as the master. You can archive the database onto a Compact-
Flash card and retrieve it later.
Changing the master display
On the display that you wish to nominate as the master:
1. Display the System Setup menu:
2. Select the System Integration then Data Master option:
