I've been asking questions related to the DFF3D and Navpilot 711C as they relate to a NN3D/TZT combined system. At the core this is all about communication so it seems most appropriate to ask additional questions here. And I very much appreciate this forum and all the valuable information it provides.
I've identified another boater that has a NN3D/TZT system connected per Furuno guidelines, however, he has a DFF1-UHD and DFF3D connected to the HUB101. He is not having any problems with the DFF3D connected to the hub and can run it on the TZT while running the DFF1-UHD on the MFD.
Can the IF-NMEA2K2 be used to connect the TZT N2K to the MFD8 NMEA0183 data output?
Or is this a stupid question because it's a TZT N2K connection which violates the rule?
So then the question is what other data does the MFD feed to the TZT via the ethernet connection? The literature says a TZT must have heading sensor data so is all the PG700 data communicated to the TZT? What about the Yamaha engine data?
Is is possible to provide a list of what NMEA data is provided to the TZT via the MFD? Yes I understand that the MFD needs to output the PGN's, but are all available?
Can I assume that everything navnet connected to the hub is going to work with the TZT just as it would work on the MFD (except for the DFF3D)?

C-Bass provided the following regarding NN3D/TZT that is very helpful:
When these two products are connected via Ethernet they have active waypoint synchronization. So if you were to activate a waypoint on the TZT it would feed the information to the MFD8 via Ethernet. Now if the MFD8 was connected to a NMEA2000 backbone and you also had the NavPilot 711C connected to the backbone the MFD8 would communicate the waypoint information to the NavPilot 711C that originated from the TZT.
