Multigraphic or Multidisplay as Master of the Topline network. This will make the
integration of the Processor Regatta easier to manage.
5.3 Adding the Processor Regatta to your nke system
When all the sensors, displays and interface units are up to date, compatible with the
Processor Regatta and fully working, you are ready to add the Processor Regatta to the
network. Once in place, it will become the Master. Therefore, the existing Master has to be
deleted so that the Topline network is clean of any Master.
You must reset the Multigraphic or Multidisplay master to assign it the 0 address. This
change of address is done in the menu, parameter, Maintenance, Topline address. See
the Multidisplay or Multigraphic manual to reset the Topline address.
The 3D sensor or Regatta Compass sensor must be connected to the « NMEA1
Compass » connector before connecting the PROCESSOR REGATTA (refer to the unit’s
manual). The PROCESSOR REGATTA will automatically detect those sensors (version
2.4 and up).
You must also connect the HF GPS if the version is lower than 2.2 or another GPS source
On the NMEA 2 input of the REGATTA PROCESSOR. In the case of a HF GPS version
2.2 or higher, it is not necessary to connect the NMEA 2 input. The Channels are
broadcast directly by Topline Bus by the antenna.
When powering the Topline network on, a blue LED situated on the front face of the
PROCESSOR REGATTA indicates the working status. The PROCESSOR REGATTA
always acts as the Master. When the system is powered on, the Master will create 2
« Lists ». Allow 30 seconds for boot completion.

Once the PROCESSOR REGATTA has started (Blue LED blips every 3 seconds), you
can give a new node number to the Multigraphic or Multidisplay which has been used
previously to check the system.
See the Multidisplay or Multigraphic manual to reset the Topline address.
