[CA] AIS 250 Install

[solomon]

Good Evening,
So like a dog with a chew toy I couldn't wait to get home and crawl around and make sure my drawing was correct... or at least the way it is set up. This set up works with only 1 error on start up pertaining to the engine, but we will save that for another time because it has no effect on how the system works or the engine data is displayed.

Attached is a drawing of how my system is configured. I will say I am very confused at this point. My MFD is a C120. Its not a widescreen. according to the link you provided it states

" As such, when interfacing an AIS receiver/transceiver to the A/C/E-Series Classic MFDs, the AIS receiver/transceiver MUST be interfaced to the MFD's 0183 port. "

In my drawing the D244 junction block connects to the NMEA 0183 port. If that is correct, then could I just place instead of the D244 a E25049( 5 port) Junction block to accept the feeds from the receiver? And if I can do that which cable would I use? I really don't want to have to purchase a bridging device to set this up.

Thank You for your time and patience
Chris
