Seatalk2 to STng

[Kevin]

Sorry to dig up this old thread again but I'm back on the same boat trying to answer some owner questions.

As mentioned there are 2 eS MFDs, a RS130 and iTC-5 (replacing individual pods) on the STng backbone.

ST290 instruments with DPU on ST2.

Autopilot, ST290 instrument remote, MOB button on ST1.
The ST1 network is connected to the ST1 port on the DPU and all of the ST1 connections going to a ST1-STng converter at one point (red 12+ excluded).

Most things are working as they should however there are some nuisance issues.

1) The ST290 remote (connected to ST1 network) beeps but there is no control of the ST290 instruments.

2) Waypoint Arrival: WP arrival pops up on the MFD and on the ST290 instruments when you hit the arrival radius. Hitting the OK on the MFD silences that but does not silence the alarm at the instruments. Since the remote isn't working at the helm you have to silence it at the instruments (companionway or nav station).
I was only able to silence the alarms on the instruments FROM the master MFD a couple times after updating ST1-STng converter to v2.03 (hit or miss, and only on the master). Once I brought the MFDs from v17.46 to v19.03 I couldn't do it again.

3) The COG appears to be different (and wrong) from what the MFDs show. The customer states that it remains correct on the autopilot remote but I haven't verified that.

The ST290 mentions the Waypoint Arrival Alarm in the manual however there is NO option under the Alarms chapter to even turn this off. Tried it in both Sailing and Full profile but couldn't turn up this alarm option.

It seems like the ST290 system is getting the appropriate waypoint data, arrival, range, bearing etc, but it doesn't seem to get the acceptance command from the MFD or anything from the remote. Would the ST1-STng be blocking data in that direction?

Once, again I appreciate you help with this.

Thanks
