The EK80 can be set up to communicate with the Simrad TD50 3D Visualization
Software. In this context, the EK80 is regarded as the "source system". The interface
between the EK80 and the TD50 computer uses a high-speed Ethernet connection. The
relevant IP addresses must be defined on both computers.
