898c si connected to my 958c di
« on: December 17, 2011, 01:39:51 PM »
Having trouble getting my front machine (958c di) to see gps and waypoints from my machine at the console (898c si). Is there a setting or something that i need to turn on or off? Thanks in advance!
They are hooked together with Ethernet cable. The back machine works fine.

Just make sure that the software in both units is up to date.
958c DI – 5.880
898c Si – 5.700

The 958c di is new with the latest software. The 898c si doesnt have the 5.7, it has the version just before it. You are telling me that i have got to update my 898c si right.

I would just in case there were changes made that could affect the Ethernet.  None were in the documentation I saw for this update… but it is best to update just to be sure.

Greg, uploaded new version software to 5.7 to my 898c si still nothing on front unit, however i went back through settings and found front unit not to be setup right. I had to check the box beside the gps at console selection under the network tab. Sorry!

No problems.  I thought that it would automatically select the other unit’s GPS Receiver since it did not have one connected to it.  So we both learned something!
