CHANGE C120W TO ES127

PROGECON,

Interfacing an AIS500 to the system via SeaTalkng is completely acceptable, and generally the preferred method of interfacing the AIS650 to the system, as it would then permit AIS data to be present on the SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone for use by i70/i70S MFIDs or third party products supporting use of data from an AIS receiver. However, I'm a little confused about the network switch shown within your diagram. Your diagram appears to show both RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable and a SeaTalkhs (M) to RJ45 Cable connected to it. The SeaTalkhs Network Switch and SR6 Sirius Satellite Weather / Radio Receiver / Network Switch had RJ45 (F) sockets while the HS5 RayNet Network Switch features RayNet (M) sockets. Should a SeaTalkhs Network Switch or SR6 Sirius Satellite Weather / Radio Receiver / Network Switch and SeaTalkhs (M) to RJ45 (M) Cables already be installed onboard the vessel, then these cables may simply be adapted (w/A80160 SeaTalkhs (F) to RayNet (F) Adapter) to be mated to the Network socket of an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD.
