MASTER CHART PLOTTER
Operating mode
To select the Master mode follow the procedure:
[MENU] + "Advanced Options" + [ENTER] + "C-Link" + [ENTER] + "Primary
Station" + [ENTER]
Master mode is the default factory setting. All regular chart plotters functions are
allowed. As soon as the Destination is placed, the Master chart plotter will start
transmitting all C-Link Navigation Data.
In Master mode the C-Link Navigation Data received from the NMEA port is ig-
nored. So, if the two chart plotters are both operating in Master mode, the C-Link
Navigation Data sent by the other chart plotter never processed.
Under such condition if the navigation is activated on one of the two chart plot-
ters, a warning message will be shown to notify that the C-Link navigation data
will be ignored by the other chart plotter.
SLAVE CHART PLOTTER

To select the Slave mode follow the procedure:
[MENU] + "Advanced Options" + [ENTER] + "C-Link" + [ENTER] + "Secondary
Station" + [ENTER]

tion Data anymore.
It is necessary to disable the Internal GPS on the Slave chart plotter before start
to work with the C-Link system:
[MENU] + "Advanced Options" + [ENTER] + "Input/Output" + [ENTER] +
"GPS Configuration" + [ENTER] + "GPS Antenna" + [ENTER] + "No" +
[ENTER]

If the navigation was already active, it will be disabled as soon as Slave mode is
set. An appropriate warning message will be shown to notify that the Navigation
is already active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.
