Networking E-Series Displays
You can connect two or more E-Series Displays to create a network. This will enable
you to input, view and maintain data across all your Displays and enable multiple
SeaTalk instruments to communicate with one another.
you to input, view and maintain data across all your Displays and enable multiple
SeaTalk instruments to communicate with one another.
When you are installing a network of E-Series Displays you should note the following:
• One display will act as the master, into which all SeaTalk/SeaTalk

connections
should be made.
• If you connect the master display to all other displays in the system via SeaTalk or
SeaTalk
2
, you will negate the need to unplug and reconnect cabling if the master
becomes redundant.
• The bridging of data from SeaTalk/SeaTalk

only occurs at the master. You cannot
therefore have additional networks connected to additional E-Series Displays. You
can however connect multiple NMEA inputs.

• As it is not possible to view a video image across the network, you should connect
the Video In cable to the display on which you wish to view the image.
The following two pages detail a simple E-Series Networked System with two E-Series
displays and no DSM and a more advanced, multiple node system incorporating two
(or more) displays and a DSM 300.
