First power up Data master selection
Networks containing more than 1 MFD must have a designated Data master. The Data master is the
primary MFD in the network and should be the MFD that is connected to the SeaTalkng ® / NMEA
2000 CAN bus network and any other devices and sources of data in your system. The Data master
bridges the data over the SeaTalkhs ™ network to any compatible networked 'repeater' MFDs.
By default your MFD will be set as a Data master. If you are connecting to a network that already
includes MFDs then on first power up you will be requested to confirm your Data master.
The "Multiple Data masters found" warning will be displayed whenever a new MFD is added to
your network.
You can change your Data master at anytime by selecting Assign as Data master against a MFD
listed in the Network tab of the Settings menu: Homescreen > Settings > Network.
Startup wizard
If the MFD is being installed as a stand alone installation or as part of a new system, then the first
time the MFD is powered up the Startup wizard will be displayed. The Startup wizard will help
you configure important settings on your MFD.
Follow the onscreen instructions and configure the relevant settings.
The Startup wizard will also be displayed after a Factory reset is performed.
First power up Limitation on Use acknowledgement
After you have completed the Startup wizard the Limitation on Use (LoU) disclaimer is displayed.
You must read and agree to the terms in order to use your MFD.
Selecting OK means you have accepted the terms of use.
Multiple data sources (MDS)
MDS is a Raymarine scheme for managing multiple sources of identical data types on the same
network (e.g.: in an MFD network you may have more than one source of GPS / GNSS position data).
The MFD will automatically select a preferred data source (device) to use for that data type.
MDS can be used for the following data types:
• Depth
• Speed through water
• Heading
• GPS
