User's Manual Part 2

As a default, the RS82 will give priority to SimNet data over
that received via the NMEA input. This function enables you to
select the NMEA input as the priority data source.
From the SimNet management menu select “DATA SOURCES”
and press O
K.
Use the V
OL ▲ and VOL ▼ keys to scroll through the following
options -
Simrad Group – (Default) Accept the data source aspecified
by the Group Owner. A Group Owner is a unit capable of dic-
tating which data source other SimNet units on the bus use.
The Group Owner is usually a Chartplotter or similar unit.
NMEA0183 – This option will select the NMEA0183 input as
the nav data source.
SimNet units – The display will show the name and serial
number of each SimNet unit detected on the network.
Third Party units – The display will show the name and ser-
ial number of any third party units connected to the bus via
NMEA2000.
NOTE Apart from NMEA0183, a maximum of four other sources
will be shown, and these will be the first four detected. Any
further sources apart from these will be ignored.
Press O
K to set the selected data source. The display will show
“SOURCE SELECTED”, then exit to the SimNet management
menu.
NOTE If the selected data source is lost, the radio will automatically
select another SimNet or NMEA source if available, otherwise
the display will show “SOURCE DATA LOST”.
