on the Humminbird web site is mentioned about AS EC 20E | Networking | 720073-3 that allows the connection of two Ethernet capable units to be connected.
what is not saying: this 2 units will share transducers, way points, routes, video signal ; WHAT is the main purpose of this cable ?
I have an 898 ci si at the console with and want to use another 898 or 998 at the bow with a quadra beam transducer ;
if I connect this two units with an ethernet cable what is happening exactly ?
I can also use TS3 switch to connect si and quadra beam to the same unit and connect with an ethernet cable to the 2nd unit at the bow;
I can also use an Ethernet switch AS ETH 5PXG | Networking | 408450-1 to to link the 2 Humminbird head units, share transducers, but is more expensive ;
can you guys help with any advise and any schemes to connect the units ?
thanks in advance
