4.8.1.3 Master Chart Plotter
Operating mode
To select the Master mode (Primary Station) follow the procedure:
'MENU' + "BASIC SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "INPUT/OUTPUT" + '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 ignored. So, if the two chart plotters are both
operating in Master mode, the C-Link Navigation Data sent by the other chart plot-
ter never processed. Under such condition if the navigation is activated on one of the
two chart plotters, a warning message will be shown to notify that the C-Link Navi-
gation Data will be ignored by the other chart plotter.
4.8.1.4 Slave Chart Plotter
Operating mode
To select the Slave mode (Secondary Station) follow the procedure:
'MENU' + "BASIC SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "INPUT/OUTPUT" + 'ENTER' +
"C-LINK" + 'ENTER' + "Secondary Station" + 'ENTER'
When Slave mode is set, the chart plotter cannot manipulate the C-Link Navigation
Data anymore.
Stop current navigation
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 al-
ready active and to confirm whether Slave mode can be set.
Inhibit navigation operation
As soon as Slave mode is set, the destination cannot be placed anymore either the
C-Link Navigation Data is received from the Master or not. Also, when the C-Link
Navigation Data is received from the Master, it will not be allowed to deactivate the
navigation.
Inhibit Route following
While navigating to the Route received from the Master the destination is reached
(either applying distance or perpendicular criteria), the destination will not be moved
to the next Waypoint on the Route.
