Data conflicts and data loops

To avoid potential data conflicts and data loops, products should not be connected to the same device using more than one network protocol.

Important

  • Do NOT connect to an MFD or VHF radio using NMEA 0183 and SeaTalkng® / NMEA 2000 connections at the same time.

  • Do NOT connect to a PC using NMEA 0183 and USB connections at the same time.

  • If you are connecting to a VHF Radio that has built-in AIS, you must first disable the VHF Radio’s AIS function, before connecting it to the AIS unit (or the same data network). Refer to your Radio’s documentation for details on disabling the VHF Radio’s AIS function.
