Page 34: Troubleshooting
Genesis crashes as soon as the Gemini 1200id is detected Without the Gemini connected, run Genesis then select [Help] then [About] and note the OpenGL driver version detected - it should be at least version 2.1. - Page 35 Gemini 1200id Sonar is present but will not ping Ensure that you have OpenGL version 2.1 or greater installed. For Ethernet systems: Check your network settings on the PC. Typing route print into the command line will show the PC routing table. The sonar and PC must be on the same subnet and the PC’s routing table needs to be set up so that packets are routed correctly to the sonar.
