Defining The Serial And Ethernet (Lan) Port Parameters - Simrad ES80 Reference Manual

Tip
If no transceivers are listed:
• Select
Browse
box. Select the correct address for the Ethernet adapter you are using. This will
make the ES80 search the network for available transceivers.
• Check that each transceiver has been turned on.
• Verify that the Ethernet communication between the units is operational.
• If you are using an Ethernet switch, make sure that it works.

When all channels have been installed, you can start normal operation.
Caution
You must never start ES80 transmissions ("pinging") when the ship is in dry dock. The
transducer may be damaged if it transmits in open air.

Defining the serial and Ethernet (LAN) port parameters

For any sensor interface to work, the communication parameters must be set up correctly.
The ES80 software automatically scans the Processor Unit to locate and identify the
available communication ports. Once the software has established a list of valid
interfaces, you can set up and control the communication parameters.
Prerequisites
This procedure assumes that:
• You have a vacant interface port on your Processor Unit.
• You are familiar with NMEA and other relevant datagram formats.
• You know how to set up the parameters for serial and local area network (LAN)
communication.
• The communication parameters required for the sensor interface are known.
