HDS gen1 not working with point1 #11562400 04/24/16 08:15 PM

I Have an hds12 gen2 touch at the console, and an hds7 gen 1 non-touch at the bow. Today I installed a point 1, hooked it up the the N2K network and it's working great on the hds12, but can't get it to show up at all on the hds7 up front. I also can't get the units to share waypoints

i was curious, so we hooked up my friends hds9 gen2 touch at the bow and everything linked up perfectly. The point1 showed up and I was able to share waypoints.

is there anything special I need to do for the gen1 unit? I should note that I do NOT have a yellow Ethernet cable connecting the gen1 to the hds12 gen2 at the console. I figured I would still b able to see the point1 on the gen1 since its hooked to the NMEA2000.

I posted this in general equipment, but the amount of views isn't nearly like it is here, and I miss hoping for a solution by tomorrow

On keypad units such as your Gen 1, press MenuMenuNetwork Data Sources. Then selecting GPS, then All Data. You should see the Point-1 listed in this menu.

It's not listed. Just shows HDS7

I would check the connection on your HDS 5 N2K plug. Check the network devices on your HDS 12 and see if the HDS 5 shows up. If you checked your connection and it still does not work then I would just run an ethernet to share waypoints. The units only share waypoints via N2K if both units are on when the waypoint is marked anyway.

Just to clarify - your Point1 will not work through an ethernet cable. It must go through the NEMA. Check on the back of your unit to make sure all of the male pins are good. I had one break off and it quit recognizing my Point1.

Then something is wrong in that the HDS7 is not a working member of the NMEA network. If you have two HDS units, your NMEA network needs at least FOUR T connectors. (the fourth one is for power, one for Point-1, and two for HDS units.) The T connector at each end of the network must have a terminator on the unused end. Each network member must be attached at the base of the T, not the left or right facing connection. I suspect you have not connected the NMEA network correctly.
