Tim,

The blue plugs which you have referenced are not simply blanking plugs (i.e. those which would be used to seal an unused spur socket. They are Termination Plugs as Derek had specified. These plugs feature a 120 Ohm resistor to prevent reflections within the backbone. As Derek had suggested, the current power source for the SeaTalk bus should be disconnected to then permit the backbone to be powered by the SeaTalkng backbone via the SeaTalk (yellow) socket of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. A SeaTalkng Power Cable is included in the package of a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter to supply power to the backbone via one of its white spur sockets. The SeaTalkng Power Cable should be connected to a switched 12VDC power circuit and should be protected with a 5A fuse. Finally, please verify that the MFD and SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter have each been updated with the latest available Raymarine product software updates to ensure proper communications. Please additionally note that the MFD's software should be brought up to the latest software version prior to attempting to update the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter's software.
