Adding a RAY70 AIS VHF

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Festinalente,

The picture shown within your photo is that of a DSM300 and a SeaTalkhs Network Switch. The E90W and DSM300 are each designed to be interfaced to the SeaTalkhs Network Switch via an appropriate length of SeaTalkhs (M) to RJ45 (M) Cable. The Digital Radar Cable shown also features a RJ45 (M) Plug, permitting it to be interfaced to the SeaTalkhs Network Switch. During the period that these products had been offered the Raystar 125 GPS Sensor was the most commonly sold GPS sensor and it was designed to be interfaced to your MFD via either SeaTalkn (not SeaTalkng) or NMEA 0183 communications protocol.

Of the equipment which you have listed, none of these items feature a SeaTalkng communications interface. The easiest way to determine whether the MFD is currently interfaced to a SeaTalkng backbone is to examine the SeaTalkng spur socket of the communications panel on MFD's back side. Should nothing be presently interfaced to it, then the MFD has not been interfaced to a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone and you should accordingly have no concerns about using the SeaTalkng Backbone Cable supplied with the SeaTalkng Backbone Kit.
