[TG] [TG11] No GPS Info on MFD GPS Status Page

magic8,

Q. The RS150 GPS antenna is connected directly to the new seatalk converter.
12v power was removed from the seatalk 1 network and the converter was powered with 12v which then powered the seatalk 1 network.
This was proved by removing the power to the converter and then the whole seatalk network was dead.
The converter centre yellow connection is wired to the seatalk1.
All other operations and indications good.
A. This description appears to differ from that specified within the previously referenced FAQ. As indicated therein, the MFD will be disconnected from the SeaTalk bus ... this may easily be accomplished by simply unplugging the MFD's SeaTalk/Alarm Cable. The unpowered SeaTalk bus will then be connected to yellow socket of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter. The MFD will instead be interfaced to a spur socket within the SeaTalkng backbonevia an A06061 E-Series Classic MFD to SeaTalkng Adapter Cable. An additional spur socket will need to be added, as the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter only features two spur sockets. The E-Series Classic MFD to SeaTalkng Adapter Cable will be mated to the MFD's SeaTalk2 socket.
