Hello again,
Thank you for the time taken and answers given on this forum. I am sure many of us do appreciate your support.
My new to me VX2 had a ETR 6/10 sounder connected at some distant past. I procured a DFF1 and would like to connect through a hub as I have other Furuno equipment that I would like to connect in the future.
Currently I am using cable type (MJ-A6SPF/TM11AP8-Co5o) to connect to the display unit. This cable came with the DFF1 and I assume it is a crossover and should connect with no issues. How do I tell if the DFF1 is actually talking to the VX2?
The green light on the DFF1 blinks slowly when powered up.
The VX2 shows the network port connected to ETR0. In the setup menu I have ETR0-ETR9 available. Should the DFF1 show up in the network setup as a DFF1? And, should that be a choice in the sounder network menu?
Also, I just upgraded the VX2 to version 4.1 from 3.1, no issues and seemed to load fine. Display now shows 4.1 as the version.
If the firmware is upgraded on the VX2 does that automatically update the firmware on the DFF1? I assume if it's connected properly.
