[DG] [DG11] Integrating E85001 into Stng

[Derek - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hi MBileckyj

I believe that you have been in contact with me and my colleagues in our support team via telephone and email.

As we discussed yesterday, the instruments you have are connected through SeaTalk and not NMEA and you indicated the SeaTalk instruments were correctly passing data through the E85001, through the E22158 SeaTalk to STng converter and showing data on the p70 control head.

You advised the vhf and the Navtex were not receiving NMEA position data and that the LEDs on the E85001 were all unlit.

Assuming that you have GPS data on the STng network, then this implies the E85001 has a failed NMEA interface and so is not outputting any NMEA data.

To obtain NMEA position data for the vhf and the Navtex, the best solution is to use an Actisense NMEA 2000 to NMEA0183 converter, connect this to one of the white Spur connections on STng and then connect the vhf and Navtex NMEA input wires to the NMEA0183 output of the Actisense converter.
