AIS to A98 Connection

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum walruspb,

It is not possible to do as you have suggested. To interface devices featuring SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 interfaces, a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone must be installed onboard having sufficient SeaTalkng spur sockets for each SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 device which will be interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng network backbone. A simple backbone may be constructed from the following components:

- A06064 SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector
- A06031 SeaTalkng Termination Plugs x 2
- A06049 SeaTalkng Power Cable
- a pair of SeaTalkng Spur Cables of appropriate length to interface the system's Data Master a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD and AIS650 to the SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector.
