ET UP YOUR UMMINBIRD
When the Humminbird network is fully installed, configure the network so the control heads and equipment are synchronized across
the network. Depending on your network configuration, your options may include sources from remote control head(s), RS-232,
NMEA 0183, Ethernet, and NMEA 2000.
Use the intructions in this section to complete the following network setup requirements:
1. Configure a new network.
2. Select transducers from the network.
3. Change GPS sources.
4. Select data sources.
5. Set vessel display settings.
Understand Global
When you configure a new network, the control heads are synchronized. Settings such as alarms, map sources, favorite views,
preferences, overlays, sonar sources, and GPS sources are shared across control heads.
Many menu settings include the Global on/off button. When Global is turned on, the selected menu setting on the control head is
shared with the other control heads in the network.
When Global is turned off, the selected menu setting is only available on the selected control head.
Understand Auto-Configure
When you configure the control head network, the control head automatically selects a source for each category. For example, if
there are multiple heading sensors attached, the control head will choose one sensor to provide the heading. If you prefer a different
sensor to provide the heading, you can manually select a different heading sensor.
The Auto-Configure on/off button is displayed in each source category. When Auto-Configure is turned on, the sources are selected
automatically by the control head. When Auto-Configure is turned off, you can select sources based on your preferences.
