Seatalk network to PC running Time Zero

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Gerry,

The E85001 PC/SeaTalk/NMEA 0183 Interface Module was retired several years ago.

Should the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 1 be directly connected to the serial to USB adapter and should the navigational software application be configured for 4800 BAUD NMEA 0183 communications, and should the problem persist, then Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 1 may be tested. With respect to SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 to USB interfaces, it is recommended that you verify whether the navigational software application supports NMEA 2000 communications. If so, then you may want to consider installation of a third party SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 to USB adapter (ex. Actisense NGT-1, etc.). If not, then SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 data bridging device (ex. Actisense NGW-1-ISO-STNG may be interfaced to a serial data cable which in turn may be interfaced to the serial to USB adapter. The performance of Serial to USB adapters vary greatly when used for such purposes. Raymarine has historically recommended use of SeaLevel's Model 2105R to interface NMEA 0183 devices to PCs running navigation software applications.
