CAUTION! 

EdgeTech recommended performing the process described in the section 

below through Discover, but the process below provides an alternative. 

Please refer to the

 for information on how 

to complete this process in Discover.

UDP Connections 

The  6205s  is compatible with data sent over the Ethernet connection via UDP. The SonarSerial.ini is 

utilized to configure the system to accept these messages. Note that 1PPS functionality must be utilized 

when operating with attitude / NAV being transferred with UDP messages.  
All messages detailed in Section 3.1 can also be sent to the 6205s over the Ethernet connection via UDP. 

The below example shows the same configuration detailed in 

FIGURE 

8-23

 but with UDP functionality.
