MX500 Overview
MX 500 USB Feature Overview
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and is a data port in the MX
500 that allows the use of USB flash drive (memory stick) to save
and restore waypoints, routes and configuration data. In addition it
can also be used to download the MX 500 firmware for software
updates (refer to page 228). Not all commercially available USB
flash drives are compatible with the MX 500. A hardware compat-
ibility list is available on page 241 of this manual.
USB Formatting:
Before the USB device (i.e. flash drive) can be used for the MX
500, it is important to format it to FAT32 file system. This is
available from any PC running Windows XP or higher (refer to
page 240 for formatting procedure).
USB Waterproofing:
When the USB port in the MX 500 is not in use, please close the
rubber flap in order to maintain splashproof integrity.
Warning: Do not remove the USB rubber flap completely
!
from the MX 500 unit. This will affect the splashproof integ-
rity.
MX 500 Networking Overview
The MX 500 networking technology lets you connect two or more
MX 500 units in Dual-Control or Multiple Unit Control configura-
tion via LAN (Local Area Networking) in order to share navigation
data among the units. A change to routes and waypoints in the
master or in a slave unit is mirrored on all the networked units.
One MX 500 is designated as the master and all others as slaves or
repeaters. The only restrictions on the networking are the follow-
ing:
Version 3.0
There must be one and only one master unit operating in a
•
network.
All MX 500 units must have the same software version.
•
A maximum of five units may be connected in a network.
