Switching on and off at the breaker
If you wish to ensure that the MFD is not consuming any power then it must be switched off at the
breaker or have the power cable unplugged.
When the breaker is switched back on, or the cable is reconnected, the MFD will resume in the same
power state that it was in when it was switched off.
First power up Data master selection
Networks containing more than 1 MFD must have a designated Data master. The Data master is the
primary MFD in the network and should be the MFD that is connected to the SeaTalkng ® / NMEA
2000 CAN bus network and any other devices and sources of data in your system. The Data master
bridges the data over the SeaTalkhs ™ network to any compatible networked ‘repeater’ MFDs.
By default your MFD will be set as a Data master. If you are connecting to a network that already
includes MFDs then on first power up you will be requested to confirm your Data master.
The “Multiple Data masters found” warning will be displayed whenever a new MFD is added to
your network.
You can change your Data master at anytime by selecting
Assign as Data master
against a MFD
listed in the Network tab of the Settings menu:
Homescreen > Settings > Network
.
Startup wizard
If the MFD is being installed as a stand alone installation or as part of a new system, then the first
time the MFD is powered up the Startup wizard will be displayed. The Startup wizard will help
you configure important settings on your MFD.
Follow the onscreen instructions and configure the relevant settings.
The Startup wizard will also be displayed after a
Factory reset
is performed.
First power up Limitation on Use acknowledgement
After you have completed the Startup wizard the Limitation on Use (LoU) disclaimer is displayed.
