Ethernet (NETWORK port)

11
The Zeus Touch system uses an Ethernet network to interconnect high bandwidth devices
such as radar, echosounder and to another Zeus Touch, or Zeus display. The Zeus Touch 7 and
Zeus Touch 8 displays have one NETWORK port each, whereas the Zeus Touch 12 has three
Ethernet ports. Navico Ethernet network cables have orange connectors that are retained by a
bayonet type locking collar.

Connecting directly to a single device

The Ethernet port is auto sensing, meaning that the Zeus Touch can connect to one Network
module directly without the use of a cross over cable or switch.

If the number of ethernet devices exceeds the number of available ports on the NEP-2, it is
possible to link two or more NEP-2 modules together to provide the required ports. Every
additional NEP-2 will provide an extra 4 ports, but will use up one port on the NEP-2 it is con-
nected to.
