[CA] [CA11] AIS NMEA 2000 MFD Series C Firmware 19 Support

[scoady]

Does the Series C MFD with Firmware 19 Support AIS/GPS from a NMEA 2000 source?
I can see them in a PC application but not in the Series C MFD. I do see the device in the device list on the MFD. I used to have a AIS unit that talked to the MFD with NMEA 0183 and just configured the port and away we went but it died on me. The new unit talks NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183. Am i missing something in the System config. I made sure to set the NMEA 0183 ports not to look for AIS

Thank You

Welcome to the Raymarine Sean,

Raymarine has produced three generations of MFDs featuring "C" or "c" within its name. These were the:
- C-Series Classic MFDS (C70, C80, C120)
- C-Series Widescreen MFDs (C90W, C120W, C140W)
- c-Series MFDs (c95/c97, c125/c127)

Of the above listed MFDs the all supported integration with 38400 BAUD NMEA 0183 AIS receivers / transceivers. Of the above listed MFDs, when operating with the latest available software the C-Series Widescreen MFDs and c-Series MFDs alternatively supported integration with SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 AIS receivers / transceivers. Unlike NMEA 0183 devices, SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 devices are not designed to be interfaced directly to one another. Instead, such devices are each designed to be interfaced as a spur to a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone.
