Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Dave,

The instructions previously supplied for interfacing the MFD to the VHF radio / AIS receiver via NMEA 2000 communications apply to the C/E-Series Widescreen MFDs as well. Please note that it is alternatively possible to interface the C/E-Series Widescreen MFD to the VHF radio / AIS receiver via the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 2 to support bidirectional communications between the VHF radio / AIS receiver.
- connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 OUT2+ (orange/yellow) lead to the NMEA 0183 IN+ (blue) lead of the GX2200
- connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 OUT2- (orange/brown) lead to the NMEA 0183 IN- (green) lead of the GX2200
- connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 IN2+ (orange/white) lead to the NMEA 0183 OUT+ (gray) lead of the GX2200
- connect the MFD's NMEA 0183 IN2- (orange/green) lead to the NMEA 0183 OUT- (brown) lead of the GX2200
- Configure the GX2200's NMEA DATA IN/OUT setting to 38400 BPS.
- Configure the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 2 Setting (HOME->SET-UP->SYSTEM SETTINGS->NMEA SET-UP->NMEA INPUT PORT 1) to AIS 38400.
- To view AIS objects within the MFD's Chart application, configure the AIS overlay to ON.
