Humminbird Ethernet

Humminbird Ethernet
This presentation is meant to be a brief summary of
Ethernet. Ethernet is a simple straight plug in solution.
There are no extra boxes or power sources required.
Ethernet allow users to share waypoints, routes, tracks and
GPS position information. It DOES NOT SHARE MAPS. It
will also allow users to share Sonar information.
GPS receivers and transducers are plugged into the units
the same way they have been whether you use Ethernet or
not. Ethernet is simply a separate cable that communicates
information between two units.
If after looking at this presentation, you have any questions
about the installation or operation of Ethernet please let me
know.

To get Ethernet on a 800,900 or 1100 series units all you
have to do is plug an Ethernet cable into the metal
connectors on the back of each unit as shown. The
following 800,900 and 1100 series units are compatible with
Ethernet: 858c, 898c SI, 958c, 998c SI, 1197c SI, 1198c SI
Ethernet cables are available in 4
lengths:
2 foot- AS EC 2E
10 foot- AS EC 10E
20 foot- AS EC 20 E
30 foot- AS EC 30 E
There is also a 30 foot extension
cable if more length is required:
AS ECX 30 E
Also make sure both units have
the correct software for Ethernet
functionality

To Ethernet a 700 HD Series unit you will need to add an adapter on to
the end of the standard Ethernet cables mentioned on the previous
page. This cable is the AS EC QDE. It is shown below:
The 700 HD Series units that are compatible with
Ethernet are 798ci SI HD, 788ci HD, 778c HD and
788ci HD DI. No other 700 series units are
compatible with Ethernet.

If you ever have a situation where a consumer wants to use a
TS-W Speed Sensor (paddle wheel) or a separate Temp Sensor
(TG-W) with a 700 HD Series unit that is connected via
Ethernet you will have to use an adapter since the
Temp/Speed plug on the back of the 700 HD Series unit has
been replaced by the Ethernet connector. This adapter is AS SW
Y and is shown below. I don’t think you will see this
requirement very often.

All Ethernet Operations are driven from a tab called
NETWORK as shown above.

Humminbird Ethernet
Default Name. See next
page for where this #
comes from
The first setting under the Network tab is called “Unit Name”. This is
where the user will type in a NAME for the unit. In most situations I
would suggest BOW for the front unit and Console for the back unit
but the user can name each unit anything they want to.
7

Humminbird Ethernet
The Serial Number of the unit is the default NAME for
the unit

Shown above is an example of renaming
the unit. The user would go in and type
the new name and then SAVE it.

The second setting is called NETWORK SOURCE SETUP. This is
the heart of Ethernet. When this setting is highlighted as above
and the Right Arrow is pressed the core menu to Ethernet will pop
up.

There are four tabs the user can access. From the STATUS tab the
user can see the source he is getting his SONAR, TEMP and GPS
info from. This example shows that the Console unit is getting its
SONAR, TEMP and GPS information from the local sources
plugged into the Console unit.
11

Humminbird Ethernet
From the Sonar tab the user can see which sonar sources
are available to him and which one he currently has
selected. He can change the sonar source on this screen to
any available source.

An explanation about the transferring of Sonar information
A unit can only receive Sonar information over the Ethernet that it is capable of using
without Ethernet. By this I mean that for a unit to receive Side Imaging Sonar
information over the Ethernet it must be a side imaging unit.
2D sonar units will only receive 2D sonar over the Ethernet
Examples: 778c HD, 788ci HD, 858c,958c,1158c
Side Imaging Units can receive 2D, DownImaging from Side Imaging and Side Imaging
Sonar over Ethernet
Examples: 798ci SI, 898c SI, 998c SI, 1197c SI, 1198c SI
DownImaging units can only receive 2D Sonar and DownImaging Sonar
Example: 788ci HD DI
See Special Note on Next Page

Special Note
(Down Imaging from Side Imaging) and (DownImaging) are two different
technologies and aren’t compatible over Ethernet.
Explanation
The DownImaging that comes from a Side Imaging Unit will not transfer via
Ethernet to a DI unit. For example if I hook up a 1198 and 788ci HD DI unit the
only information they can share is the 200kHz Downlooking sonar. No
DownImaging information will be shared.
If I hook up a 1198 to a 798 they will share 200kHz downlooking, 83kHz
downlooking, DownImaging from Side Imaging and Side Imaging Sonar.

From the Temp 1 tab the user can see what Temp
sources are available and which one is selected. He
can change to any available source
15
15
Humminbird Ethernet
There can actually be up to 4 sources of temp
information. 1 from the transducer connected to local
unit, 1 from transducer connected to remote unit, 1
from temp probe plugged into local unit, 1 from temp
probe plugged into remote unit. (external Temp probes
aren’t plugged in on this example).
16

Humminbird Ethernet
From the GPS tab the user can see what GPS sources are available and
which one is selected. He can change to any available source. There can
be up to 4 sources available. Internal GPS on remote and local and
External GPS on remote and local. In this example both units have an
internal GPS and the Console unit has an external GPS hooked up to it.
The source that is currently being used in the internal GPS in the
console unit.

The third setting is SHARE WAYPOINTS. In this
setting the user can choose to either share waypoints
between the two units or not share them.
18
18
Humminbird Ethernet
Note that waypoints being shared from another unit
will have a green ring around them.
19
19
Humminbird Ethernet
In order for one unit to share its waypoints with another unit two
things have to occur:
#1- Share Waypoints must be turned on
#2- Both units must be turned on
Waypoint 60 was marked and
is located in the Console unit
Waypoint 60 and 10 will show
up on both units if both units are
on and waypoints sharing is
turned on. If a unit is turned off
or if waypoint sharing is turned
off its waypoints will not show
up on the other unit.
Waypoint 10 was marked
and is located in the Bow
unit
20

Humminbird Ethernet
Since Ethernet requires both units to be turned on for the units to
share waypoints between each other a change in the MENU
structure has been made to allow for an EXPRESS way to turn
Sonar on and off since having both units on at the same time can
lead to Sonar to Sonar interference. The Sonar OFF/ON setting is
now accessed by pressing the power button to bring up the menu
below. It only takes two button presses to turn Sonar ON or OFF.

A couple of things to note:
#1- Ethernet and Interlink WILL NOT work at the same time.
Whenever an Ethernet cable is hooked up to a unit the
Interlink functionality is automatically disabled.
#2- Ethernet will not transfer other accessory information like
Weathersense, Cannonlink or XM NavWeather
#3- With Interlink we were using Y cables to allow you to
plug in both Interlink and GPS. With Ethernet the GPS can be
plugged directly into the back of the unit without a Y cable
unless you need to connect another accessory like
Weathersense or XM Nav Weather.

This has to create a million questions. Fire away!
This presentation is primarily for each of the sales reps to read
to gain more information about Ethernet. Within the next few
weeks a more professional sales piece on Ethernet will be made
available to you. This coming piece will be something you can
use in sales presentations and use as a leave behind for dealers.
