E120 / AIS Problem

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Tom,

The only settings which need be configured within the MFD are those which have been specified within the previously referenced FAQ. The FAQ which I had referenced identified a very specific set of troubleshooting actions to be performed, and the results of some of these items have not yet been reported by you. For example, when the MFD's NMEA 0183 buffer was inspected, what, if any NMEA 0183 sentences were being reported as being received by the MFD? If none were reported, then was the wraparound test of the MFD's NMEA 0183 port performed. If so, what were the results of the wraparound test for the MFD's NMEA 0183 port? Also, my comments regarding the Brookhouse MUX are valid and as noted the MFD would not be able to receive AIS data via its SeaTalk communications port ... the MFD can only receive AIS data via its NMEA 0183 port. What is the communications BAUD rate of the data being transmitted to the MFD?
