[CA] [CA11] Matrix GX2100 to eS Series 128 NMEA 0183 wiring

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Jim,

For DSC support:
GX2100 4800 NMEA 0183 IN+ (blue) to MFD Port 1 NMEA 0183 OUT+ (yellow)
GX2100 NMEA 0183 Ground (green) to MFD Port 1 NMEA 0183 OUT- (brown)
GX2100 4800 NMEA 0183 OUT+ (gray) to MFD Port 1 NMEA 0183 IN+ (white)
GX2100 NMEA 0183 Ground (green) to MFD Port 1 NMEA 0183 IN- (green)

For GX2100s w/internal AIS receiver, additionally:
GX2100 38400 NMEA 0183 OUT+ (brown) to MFD Port 2 NMEA 0183 IN+ (orange/white)
GX2100 NMEA 0183 ground (green) to MFD Port 2 NMEA 0183 IN- (orange/green)

MFD NMEA 0183 Port 2 configured to "AIS 38400"

- Configure the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 1 Setting (HOME->SET-UP->SYSTEM SETTINGS->NMEA SET-UP->NMEA INPUT PORT 2) to NMEA 4800.
- Configure the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 2 Setting (HOME->SET-UP->SYSTEM SETTINGS->NMEA SET-UP->NMEA INPUT PORT 2) to AIS 38400.
- To view AIS objects within the MFD's Chart application, configure the AIS overlay (MENU->PRESENTATION->OVERLAYS->AIS) to ON.
- Verify that the MFD has acquired a GPS position FIX

Should the above have been satisfied, then examine the MFD's Port 1 RX buffer to verify that $AIVDM NMEA 0183 sentences are being received from the GX2100.
