To use this configuration, you must change the port 2 input type in
setup mode.
Other configurations are also possible. When installing the
AIS
WatchMate
you can route NMEA data from either a GPS or AIS
receiver or transponder to either of its serial ports. You can also route
the combined data stream from the output of either port to a
computer or chart plotter. However, you should avoid sending the
same data stream to both ports.
Configuring each port in setup
When you configure each port in setup mode, you select the type of
device that is connected to that port. This determines the baud rate
and for output ports it also determines which kinds of data will be
sent to that port.
