Using Plug & Play to set up a SimNet
Class 1 system
Verify that there is power on all SimNet products and any other
products interfaced to the system via NMEA0183 format.
Class 1 products will detect data activity on SimNet and
NMEA0183 input ports, and will prompt you on the display to
activate the automatic interface setup.
Note ! The display will vary depending on the type of product. Study the
manual for the individual SimNet products to get detailed
information.
Start the setup process from one of the Class 1 products
(Appendix 1, page 38) and follow the instructions on the display.
You will be guided through a quick automatic setup process. All
Class 2 products will follow the automatic source selection made
by the Class1 product.
With the source selection completed you can check the result on
any of the Class 1 products. If you prefer to make changes in the
automatic selection, see below.
Changing source on a Class 1 product
On Class 1 products you can manually change to other source(s)
for the individual DataTypes if you prefer to use one or more
sources different from the one(s) automatically selected.
Enter the Source Select or Interface menu on a SimNet Class 1
product to verify a selected source or make changes as per
instructions in the product manual. If the product is part of a
SimNet group that uses the actual DataType (Appendix 2, page
40), all members of the Simrad group will follow the new source
selection except the “stand alone”.
Note ! If you make a source change on a “Stand alone” product the
change will only apply to that product. Some products are
limited to be either “Stand alone” or part of the Simrad group
for all DataTypes.
