Smart Controller

[rsqunit]

I'm upgrading all my equipment to the latest generation electronics (Axiom Pro's, i70s, p70x, Quantum radar, etc.)

All devices are either SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000, with the exception of my Smart Controller base station, which will be connected via a Seatalkng-to-SeaTalk converter. Wind instrument will be connected to an iTC-5.

There will be NMEA 2000 devices connected as well, such as my Fusion radio, utilizing the correct DeviceNet cable, of course.

THE QUESTION/PROBLEM:

The SeaTalkng reference guide states that there is a limitation when a SeaTalk device is connected to the SeaTalkng network... it says:

======
Limitations when SeaTalk(1) products are connected:
If SeaTalkng and SeaTalk(1) products are used together, do NOT connect an NMEA2000 backbone, as this product combination could compromise the integrity of the NMEA2000 system."
======

Will I be able to connected NMEA 2000 devices to the network even though I have the Smart Controller connected via the Seatalkng-to-SeaTalk converter?

Planned NMEA 2000 devices: DST-800, Fusion Radio, Yanmar Engine (with ECI-100).
