scx 20 not showing on tzt

[sailence]

I have the scx20 running to my tzt and connected to the nmea wire from a t connector into the tzt. The only other thing we have is a transducer connected to a dff3d and the dff3d connected to the tzt. The dff3d is showing on the network. I have double checked connections and all are tight.

Thoughts? Do I need a power cord for it or does it power through the MFD?

You're a bit green about how NMEA2000 works... Every device needs a T, you also need a power input, and terminators.. it's practically a scam to sell lots of expensive little parts.
Simplest thing is to get an "actisense 4 port self contained boat network" for your equipment.

Thats what I needed to know.

Hi Sailence,

Di you set up you SCX20 via the TZT14 or via PC tool?

The tzt14 does not have a built in interface to custom configue the scx20.

The scx20 will work out of the box without a need to custom configure.

Custom configuration if desired will require a supported third party nmea2000 to usb interface to allow connection of the scx20 (while in a nmea2000 network) to a windows based computer.
