[CA] [CA11] 2002 Era Electronics Integration To Sea Talk ng Radar & e125 MFD

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Walter,

Congratulations on being able to locate these legacy e-Series MFDs. I operate several of them on my own boat and LightHouse II v19.03 software is a very good and reliable software version for these MFDs. As I have indicated within this Forum, when operating with LightHouse II software it is recommended that the Navionics Sonar Logging feature be configured OFF within the Chart application's settings whenever not actively engaged in recording sonar data in support of the SonarChart Live feature.

Q1. The only device I'm still not sure of the connection to/for is the second MFD. In my case the e95. Does this connect to the e125 via raynet or something, or, just to the network as a spur?
A1. All compatible MFDs, fishfinder sonar modules, radar transducers (except for non-wired Quantum & Quantum 2 radomes), thermal cameras, and IP cameras are to be interface to one another or to the system's HS5 RayNet Network Switch via Ethernet communications (i.e. an an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable, Digital Radar Cable, or Quantum Data Cable). The system's Data Master MFD will be interfaced as a spur to the system's SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. The Data Master MFD will share all system data with the system's other MFDs via Ethernet communications.

Q2. If they are all spur's, it looks like I will need to get a Raymarine A06064 Sea Talk-Ng 5-Way Connector Block to accommodate. 2 SeaTalk ng ports and 1 SeaTalk port on the converter will connect the 150G, i50 and one display. The second display and power will need to be on the block or T's, correct?
