Set Up a New Network
Preparation
1. Confirm all control heads and network equipment are powered on and connected. Review the status bar in the top right
corner of the screen to confirm the status of your network:
2. Global: If there are any settings you'd like to keep on a control head, and not share globally, make sure the Global menu on
that setting is turned off (see Understand Global Settings).
3. Navigation data: Navigation data will be synchronized. To export navigation data from a control head and save it, export the
data to an SD card. See your control head operations manual for more information.
4. Export Menu Settings: When control heads are synchronized to a main unit, their menu settings are changed to match the
main unit. To save menu settings from a selected remote control head, export the menu settings to an SD card. See your
control head operations manual for more information.

Understand Global Settings

When you set up a new network, the control heads are synchronized. Settings such as alarms, map sources, favorite views,
preferences, overlays, sonar sources, and GPS sources are shared across control heads.

Many menu settings include the Global on/off button. When Global is turned on, the selected
menu setting on the control head is shared with the other control heads in the network.
When Global is turned off, the selected menu setting is only available on the selected control
head.
Global On: Changes to Chart Preferences are shared across
control heads on the network because Global is turned on.
Global Off: Changes to Chart Overlays are NOT shared across
control heads on the network because Global is turned off.
The changes will only be shown on the selected control head.
