Upgrades to Existing Raymarine System on B35.5

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Tnauck,

It is recommended that you verify that your power insertion spur is located at the approximate midpoint of the backbone's LEN load. It is also recommended that you verify that two, and only two, Termination Plugs have been installed within the backbone. These Termination Plugs must be installed within the backbone socket forming the opposite and extreme ends of the backbone. Finally, it is recommended that all spur and backbone socket locking rings be opened, the cable be unplugged, the cable be re-seated, and the socket's locking ring then fully rotated to the locked position. Should this be done, should the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter also have been updated with the latest software, and should the problem persist, then the fault may be rooted within the new backbone cable or within the ST-STng Converter (faulty backbone socket). SeaTalkng Cable failures are relatively rare. For fault isolation purposes, you may want to consider temporally removing the ST-STng Converter from the system and substituting the new backbone cable for another within the system if possible. Should the system communicate properly with the backbone cable installed within another location, then it would be recommended that the ST-STng Converter be returned for replacement.
