I'm also working on a SeaTalk 1 system upgrade. I'm installing a e125 MFD to replace my classic C-series. I'm planning on using my SPX-10 course computer to power a SeaTalkng network using SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkNG converter(s) to tie in devices on the existing SeaTalk1 network. Right now I have two questions.
1) The SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkNG converter installation manual states that a RS125 GPS antenna must have a dedicated SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkNG converter. No other devices can be on that SeaTalk1 spur. Is this still the case even with the converter's firmware/software fully updated?
2) I'll be connecting the SPX-10 to the MFD through the new SeaTalkNG network. Should I connect my ST6001 control head directly to the SPX-10 with a SeaTalk1 cable or should I connect the ST6001 to the SeaTalk1 spur that will be connected to the SeaTalkNG network via the SeaTalk1 to SeaTalkNG converter?
