Ray 260 Seatalk ng Connection

[stans2000]

I am installing my new Ray 260 and will be installing it to the new Raymarine Axiom when it is released. According to the Ray 260 Manual, see below, it can be connected to the multifunction display directly via the SeaTalk ng connector. Since the Axiom has an internal GPS and I don't have any other equipment at this time, am I correct that I don't need the SeatTalk ng backbone?


4.9 SeaTalkng connection
The Ray260 can interface with Raymarine GPS receivers and
Raymarine multifunction displays using the SeaTalkng connector.
A Raymarine SeaTalkng GPS receiver cannot be connected
directly to the Base station as GPS receivers are powered via
the SeaTalkng backbone.
Note: If your unit has both SeaTalkng and NMEA 0183
connected then you must select which connection you want
to be active using the DSC Menu > Connection > Interface
menu options. Refer to 6.8 Selecting NMEA 0183 or SeaTalkng
connection for details.
Connecting SeaTalkng
The Ray260 can interface with Raymarine GPS receivers
and Raymarine multifunction displays through the SeaTalkng
connector.
