Multiple Screen Setup
Multiple screens (EFIS and Engine Monitor) can be connected together to enable data sharing by using a
standard Ethernet cross over cable or Ethernet hub plugged into the back of the units. Once the screens are
connected with the cable you will need to configure each screen for transmit and receive in the calibration
menu.
Every screen on the Network must have a unique IP Number, we use the following format for multiple
screens:
EFIS Screen in front of Pilot
15. Network IP Number this screen 175
Screen on CoPilot side
15. Network IP Number this screen 176
Screen #3 - MFD
15. Network IP Number this screen 177
The 16. Network IP Number Other screen setting controls which other screen the EFIS data will be displayed from.
Any screen that does not have an AHRS should have this set to the address of the remote screen with the AHRS that it
will display EFIS data from or compare AHRS data with.
Dual AHRS Configuration
CAUTION
For Dual AHRS cross checking to work you should always set the AHRS Module Config to TXD
and the Network IP Number Other screen to the address of the remote AHRS.
