I recently took an AIS FA30 off my old boat where it was networked into a Navnet VX2 system. I am now trying to install it on my new boat via a direct connection into another Navnet VX2. I do not have the RJ-45 to 6 pin cable (as per the installation manual for the FA30) so I am trying to do it with the COM lines. We modified a spare six pin plug as per the Inteconnection diagram in the Operator's manual. Checked the continuity and pin order and it seems fine
The AIS powers up, the receiver light is flashing (showing it is receiving targets) but we get nothing on the NNVX2. I have tried using all of the data ports on the NNVX2 but still no signal. I have hooked up a PC and set up the FA30 COM port as per the Operator's manual but still no signal. I saw in an earlier query that Johnny Electron says to use a cross over cable. Not sure what this is.
Any suggestions? BTW my only spare Data Port on the NNVX2 is Data 3. According to the NNVX2 manuals this is not the on for an AIS. Do I need to network the AIS?
Thanks in advance
