NMEA 2000 Device Configuration
NMEA 2000 Menu
The NMEA 2000 menu on your display unit's main menu allows you to
configure, calibrate and monitor devices on a NMEA 2000 network. The
NMEA 2000 menu provides access to the Bus Setup, Fuel Management
and NMEA 2000 Alarms. You also can turn on/off Waypoint Sharing
and Backlight Synchronization from the NMEA 2000 menu.
NOTE:
Your internal GPS receiver is a non-network device, so data from
the receiver CAN NOT be transmitted across a NMEA 2000 net-
work.
Internal GPS Receiver
GPS data from your internal GPS receiver can not be transmitted across
the network to other network devices. The only way to transmit GPS data
across the network is to add a LGC-2000 or LGC-3000 module to the
LowranceNET.
LGC-2000 highlighted on Buss Setup menu (left). LGC-2000 Device
