Page 11: Direct Connections Or Basic Ethernet Networks
Professional NMEA 0183 Intelligent Multiplexer - PRO-MUX-1 Direct connections or basic Ethernet networks If the PRO-MUX-1 is connected directly to a PC (or the Ethernet network does not have a DHCP server), the PRO-MUX-1 will communicate using auto-IP by default. The auto-IP process can take up to 60 seconds to complete. -
Page 12: Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Guide First level PRO-MUX-1 diagnostics / fault finding can be performed by observing the LED behavior. The normal behavior of the PRO-MUX-1 LEDs is described on the next page. If the LEDs are not behaving as expected, this will indicate a fault in either the device connected to the PRO-MUX-1, the wiring/ connections, or the PRO-MUX-1 itself. -
