[CA] [CA11] Axiom 9 and eS78 quit talking

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Doug,

Note regarding Data Master Designation and NMEA 0183 communications: Unlike SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications, where only the Data Master's MFD's SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 communications interface is active, the NMEA 0183 port of any within the will be active ... irrespective of whether the MFD has been designated as the system's Data Master MFD. Accordingly and as the Axiom MFD features the greatest processing power within the system, it would be recommended that the Axiom MFD within your system be configured as the system's Data Master MFD if it has been interfaced to a spur socket within the system's powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone.

Q. It was like the units had quit talking.
A. Please note that I have been unable to duplicate the reported issue within a system featuring Axiom / Axiom Pro MFDs / eS-Series MFDs running LH3 v3.10.39 software. It would be recommended that the MFD's software be updated and that a Power ON Factory Reset procedure be executed. There were many odd issues related to the LH3 v3.8.x and v3.9.x software, many of which, were corrected through execution of the Power ON Factory Reset procedure. That said, LH3 v3.10.39 was released earlier this week. It is recommended that this software be installed within the system's MFDs and that the Power ON Factory Reset procedure then be executed on each of the system's MFDs to correct the reported behavior. Should the problem persist after having performed the items recommended above, then please respond accordingly.
