Networking Constraints - Raymarine e7D Installation And Operation Handbook

3.6 Networking constraints

The following constraints apply when networking your multifunction
display with other devices.
General
• Multifunction displays must be connected together using
SeaTalk hs .
• Multifunction displays can also be connected via NMEA 0183 or
SeaTalk ng , but not all functions are supported.
Master / slave operation
• Any system featuring more than one multifunction e7 / e7D / c95 /
c97 / c125 / c127 / e95 / e97 / e125 / e127 display must have one
of the displays designated as the data master.
Homescreen sharing
• For networks featuring ONLY e7 / e7D / c95 / c97 / c125 / c127 /
e95 / e97 / e125 / e127 displays:
– Networked e7 / e7D / c95 / c97 / c125 / c127 / e95 / e97 / e125
/ e127 displays share homescreens.
Cartography sharing
• Chart card cartography is shared between e7 / e7D / c95 / c97 /
c125 / c127 / e95 / e97 / e125 / e127 displays.
• The cartography contained on chart cards is always used in
preference to embedded cartography when a chart card is
inserted into a card slot.
Radar operation
• e7 / e7D / c95 / c97 / c125 / c127 / e95 / e97 / e125 / e127
systems support the use of one radar scanner at a time.
• The data supplied by a connected radar scanner is repeated to
any networked displays.
Sonar operation
• You can connect an external Digital Sounder Module (DSM) unit
to e7 / e7D / c95 / c97 / c125 / c127 / e95 / e97 / e125 / e127
displays via SeaTalk hs / RayNet.
• e7D / e97 / e127 / c97 / c127 models include a built-in Digital
Sounder Module and the display can be directly connected to a
compatible sonar transducer.
• If connecting an external DSM unit to a e7D / e97 / e127 / c97 /
c127 then the internal sounder should be switched off. From the
fishfinder application goto Menu > Set-up > Sounder Set-up >
Internal Sounder > Off.
• You can only use one sonar transducer at any one time.
• The data supplied by an internal or external DSM is repeated to
any networked displays.
