Networking a new screen and CP370 - Scottnic3 - 05-25-20 02:54 AM
Hi team. I apologise if I am asking ridiculously simple questions. I currently have an A127 MFD and a Raymarine Autopilot that are networked via a 5 way network switch. There is also an old transducer that plugs straight into the back of the MFD.
I now want to add a second A127 MFD to the network as well as a new 1kw transducer via a CP370 DSM. I know the transducer plugs into the DSM but my questions are...
1. does the DSM then plug into the 5 way network switch or directly into the back of one of the MFD's? and...
2. if I connect the 2nd MFD via the 5 way network switch will all the devices be networked together ie both screens (individually) will have access to the chartplotter and autopilot and the new depth sounder, so I can pick which screen shows which data?
Thanks for your assistance with this one.

Hello Scottnic3,
Q1. does the cp370 then plug into the 5 way network switch or directly into the back of one of the MFD's?
A1-You would plug the cp370 into the HS5 switch so both screens can access it at all times.
Q2. if I connect the 2nd MFD via the 5 way network switch will all the devices be networked together ie both screens (individually) will have access to the chartplotter and autopilot and the new depth sounder, so I can pick which screen shows which data?
A2- Yes , they will all be networked.
Chris,

Thanks Chris.
I just have one more follow up question. Do I need an HS5 (A80007) or will the existing SeaTalk Ng 5 way connector (A06064) do the same job.
Thanks again for your assistance.

Yes, you need the HS5 to connect the cp370
