3.3.7.4 System instance

A SimNet bus can have a maximum of 50 devices (or "nodes")
attached to it. If a large vessel has a requirement for more than
50 nodes, then a multiple network system is required.
The system instance allows the user to allocate a unique num-
ber to each network, which allows multiple networks to inter-
communicate.
If your vessel is large enough that it is likely to require setting
up multiple networks, it is strongly advised that you contact
Simrad Technical Support to discuss your particular system re-
quirements before proceeding further.
From the SimNet Management menu select "SYSTEM IN-
STANCE" and press O
The default system instance number is "00". Use the numeric
keypad to enter the required system instance number and press
O to confirm (Fig 3.15).
