2 x Axiom Pro 12 RVX Connected to SeaTalkng

[rsqunit]

In a configuration where I have two Axiom Pro 12 RVX MFD's and one QC24 Quantum Radar all connected to a RayNet HS5 Switch... and all other devices are connected to a SeaTalkng backbone...

The sample designs I have seen, indicate only one of the Axiom Pro MFDs is connected to the SeaTalkng backbone where all other devices (iTC-5, MFIDs, EV-400, etc) are connected.

1. In such designs, the MFD connected to the SeaTalkng backbone must be POWERED ON for the other MFD to interact with the backbone, right?

2. Is it OK to connect both MFDs to SeaTalkng or will this cause issues?

I'm hoping this will allow me to turn either MFD on or off and still have full functionality from whichever MFD is powered up. Note: Both MFDs will have the same set of charts, so the charts are not an issue.

3. The Q24C Documentation says "a network switch can be used to connect the unit to more than 1 multifunction display" so I assume both MFDs can utilize/control the radar, even if one of the MFDs is powered off. Is this correct?
