I've been searching threads on the networking topic trying to figure out the best course of action for networking all of my current equipment with my new gS165. I have the Cummins Vessel View and the 7001 Raymarine Auto Pilot as well as the Raymarine VHF all communicating across what I assume is NMEA 0183. I see an E85001 Interface that my E120 was connected to using just bare wire spurs. The gS165 will accept 0183 data but I want to install Fusion Audio and other goodies down the road so I figure Ill install a Seatalkng backbone to network all of the new equipment. I'm wondering the best way to get the vessel view which I assume was operating thru the E85001 to the E120 to talk to the New gS165 display. It seems to me the vessel view is on 0183 which is converted to Seatalk1 now. Do I now convert again to Seatalkng or go from 0183 directly to Seatalkng? Id like to have all the old stuff that still works and is communicating on 0183 on a single back bone that then interfaces to SeaTalkng. Are you as confused as I am yet? I think Im getting a handle on what I need to do Just looking for more guidance from those who already invented the wheel
