2.5 Connecting with NMEA 0183 Devices
WideLink B600 supports two NMEA 0183 ports and external silent mode switch with
its 12-pin data cable. The default NMEA 0183 baud rates are 38400-bps (high speed)
and 4800-bps (low speed). User can change the baud rates using the provided
configuration utility. Typically the high speed setting is primarily for chart plotter
connection, while the low speed setting can be used for NMEA 0183 compatible
instruments.
WideLink B600 NMEA 0183 supports multiplexer function. Received NMEA 0183 data
from both ports will be multiplexed and forwarded to all output ports as well as USB
and Wi-Fi (B600W only).
