Data connections matrix
The following table details the types of data that can be exchanged using the various combinations of data connections NMEA 0183 (Low / High baud rate), NMEA 2000 /
SeaTalkng ®, and USB).
It is important to choose the right combination of connections in order to exchange the types of data you require.
As an example of how to use the table below, you can see that you can feed GNSS data into the AIS700 via a NMEA 0183 port configured for low baud rate (4,800), and then output it
along with AIS data to the other NMEA 0183 port configured for high baud rate (38,400).
When data is input on one NMEA 0183 port it is output on the other NMEA 0183 port, you cannot receive and send data on the same NMEA 0183 port.

Important:
To avoid potential data conflicts or loops multiple network protocols should not be connected to the same device i.e.:
• Do NOT connect the AIS700 to a MFD using NMEA 0183 and SeaTalkng ®/ NMEA 2000 connections at the same time.
• Do NOT connect the AIS700 to a VHF Radio using NMEA 0183 and SeaTalkng ®/ NMEA 2000 connections at the same time.
• Do NOT connect the AIS700 to a PC using NMEA 0183 and USB connections at the same time.
• If you are connecting to an AIS capable VHF Radio, you must disable the VHF Radio’s AIS function first. Refer to your Radio’s documentation for details on disabling
the AIS function.
