  1. Humminbird Ethernet Overview

  2. What Is Ethernet? • Ethernet replaces Interlink • Ethernet shares • GPS signal that updates 4x per second on each unit! • Waypoints • Routes • Tracks and Sonar* • Interlink did not allow you to share tracks or sonar! * Only Side Imaging units can share/receive Side Imaging…you cannot see Side Imaging on a 788 ci HD connected to a 998c SI.

  3. What Is Ethernet? • Ethernet shares information faster! • Interlink required you to “sync” units. When many waypoints were involved, this process may have been time consuming. • Ethernet will allow units to share waypoints and information instantly!

  4. Humminbird Ethernet • 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. • 700 Series capable units (788ci HD and 798 ci HD) are Ethernet capable with use of and adapter cable.

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

  6. 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

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

  9. Humminbird Ethernet 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.

  10. Humminbird Ethernet 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.

  12. Humminbird Ethernet 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

  13. Humminbird Ethernet 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

  14. 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).

  15. 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.

  16. Humminbird Ethernet 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.

  17. 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

  18. 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.

  19. Humminbird Ethernet 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 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.
