MFD12 sharing N2K data

[wkearney99]

I understand the MFD12 and TZT3 cannot be on the same Ethernet.

I also realize you can't have more than one MFD12 on an N2K network.

Can the TZT3 and one MFD12 both co-exist on the same N2K network?

I'm doing a partial upgrade of a four MFD12 setup where two of them (1 up, 1 down) will be replaced with TZT3-16 displays. Other sensors are already on an N2K network (depth, gps, heading, etc).

The radome is being replaced and the new one won't work with the MFD12, so there'd only be the FA50 left (and I've asked about that over in the Instruments group).

Can one MFD12 share 0183 AIS data to another via their own Ethernet connection?

Likewise, can one MFD12 share GPS and autopilot routing data obtained from an NMEA-2000 connection to the other MFD12?

Yes, but to avoid any possible NMEA 2000 instance conflict, you should change the TZT3 instance numbers.

Yes

Likewise, can one MFD12 share GPS and autopilot routing data obtained from an NMEA-2000 connection to the other MFD12?

Yes that is by design.

Great, thanks again.

Sorry for asking so many questions in separate posts. I'm not shopping for different answers, just trying to clarify the individual things from my perspective of limited understanding.
