Mercury®
If the unit is on the same NMEA 2000 network as a Mercury VesselView® 4, 7, 403, 502, 702,
703, or Link, a host of Mercury® specific features are automatically unlocked on the unit.
When the features are enabled, the display may prompt the user for some basic
configuration information. Refer to the VesselView® manual or engine supplier for further
information.
Suzuki Marine®
If the unit is on the same NMEA 2000 network as a Suzuki C10 color gauge, a dedicated
Suzuki instrument panel is unlocked and automatically enabled. Data source selection is
done the same way as for any regular NMEA 2000 sources.
Software updates and data backup
From time to time we release software updates to our existing products. Updates are created
for a variety of reasons; to add or improve features, to add support for new external devices,
or to fix software bugs.
When the unit is connected to the internet, a pop-up can appear advising that a software
update is available and encourages you to download the update.
The unit may be used to apply software updates to itself, and to supported network devices,
with files read off a memory card inserted in the card reader.
Before initiating an update to the unit itself, be sure to back up any potentially valuable user
data.
Network analyzer and service assistant
The system has a built-in service assistant that creates a report of the devices installed on the
NMEA 2000 and Ethernet network such as the software versions, serial numbers, and
information from the settings file to assist in technical support enquiries.
To use the analyzer, open the About page of the System settings dialog and select Support.
Two options are displayed:
Create report
Analyzes your network and prompts you for information required for support and creates the
report with information automatically gathered from the network. You can add screenshots
and log files that will be attached to the report. There is a 20MB limit for the report
attachments. You can save the report to a memory card and email it to support or upload it
directly if you have an internet connection. If you call technical support first, you can enter an
incident number to assist with tracking.
Check system for updates
Analyzes your network and checks if updates are available for compatible devices.
Ú
Note:
Connect your unit to the internet to check for the latest available software
versions. The software versions will be up to date as of the last time you updated your
unit or connected to the internet.
Software upgrades
The update file must be loaded to the root directory of the memory card.
The update may be initiated at boot up: insert the memory card into the card reader before
turning the unit on, boot the unit, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Alternatively, in the Files menu, locate the update file on the memory card inserted in the
card reader and select
