serenisea,

Only a Data Master MFD may bridge data from a SeaTalk or SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 data source to the Ethernet network ... and that data would only be available to other MFDs which had been interfaced to the Ethernet network. Your system requires an Ethernet network switch because the MFD which is being replaced as well as the MFD which which you will be installing, each feature only one Ethernet communications interface ... and you have three or four devices (MFD, SR100, DSM300, and possibly the radome (depending upon whether you elect a wired or wireless communications interface with the radome)). With the exception of AIS data, any compatible MFD within the system's Ethernet network will bridge data from a NMEA 0183 source to the Ethernet network.
