† Or thunderbolt cable if monitor is compatible
‡ The Ethernet cable can be connected directly to an internet access if you have no external device
(such as an NMEA multiplexer), or directly to the external device if no internet access. Using an
Ethernet switch is only useful if you need to connect to both the external device(s) and the internet.
Installing a New Ethernet Cable
If the Ethernet cable that connects the receiver to the PoE slot under the computer is too short, you
can replace it by a longer Ethernet cable.
The new Ethernet cable must have the following specifications:
• Category: cat. 5e minimum
• Length: 100 meters maximum
• Shielding: U/FTP
When replacing the cable, you need to install an Ethernet connector on the cable end that is
connected to the receiver. The Ethernet connector kit is included in the product package (receiver
box).
To know how to install the Ethernet connector to the new cable, refer to the assembly instructions
included with the Ethernet connector kit.
