[CA] [CA11] Dual Axiom 9’s, One chart card or two?

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tangodelta21,

Like the last several generations of MFDs, Raymarine's current generation of MFDs are designed to interfaced to one another via an Ethernet network (not NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, SeaTalkng, or SeaTalk). When so interfaced, all system data and resources (including cartography) will be shared among the systems MFDs. As such, a chart card need be inserted only within one of the readers of the system's MFDs. As Axiom MFDs feature a single Ethernet network (RayNet) interface and the system will include more than two devices having an Ethernet network interface (2 MFDs and RD418HD), a HS5 Network Switch will need to be installed. Each MFD and the Digital Radar Cable will accordingly be interfaced to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. Each MFD will be interfaced to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable.
