[CA] [CA11] Integrating VHF and AIS to Classic E MFDs

RE: [CA11] Integrating VHF and AIS to Classic E MFDs
Chuck -

Can you take a quick look at the attached diagram and see if this is a viable option, it was just suggested to me after your last post. It solves 2 problems - restoring NMEA@4800 to the VHF and getting boat data to the Vesper XB-8000 to be broadcast over WIFI. Summary of the diagram - create a small ST-NG backbone including the E22158 and E70196 converters.

- E22158 converter to accept legacy SeaTalk 1 input from the boat network (MFDs, transducers, etc)
- E22158 outputs NMEA 2000 over a ST-NG to NMEA 2000 converter cable to the AIS
- E70196 converter connected as part of the backbone to the E22158
- E70196 outputs NMEA @4800 to restore GPS data to the DSC VHF

If this is a viable approach, my question is whether this backbone will receive 12v power via the SeaTalk 1 cable, or would I need to provide a separate 12v connection to power the backbone. May be easier to understand from the diagram

Many ways to skin the cat...thanks so much for your guidance.
