HB Greg Question

[foul hook]

I have a 967 and a 987 that I have been running on a interlink with good success for several years. I have dropped the 967and added a 1197 . Didnt change anything but unit and transducer. The 987 will not communicate with 1197 . What may my problem be ? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Check that they are running the same software version.

Check that they are running the same software version.

X 2. Check your network settings also.

The problem is probably software related. What versions of software are each unit running?

[foul hook]

I dont know ! Both units are registered in Eufaula. I guess I could call them. How else would I find out ?

When your unit powers up...choose the bottom of the 3 listed options...."System Status" I think it's called....

This is where you can see your current sw version that is installed...

foul hook,
Are you sure that you loaded this software into both of these units or is this what is showing your Humminbird account?

To check the software version:
- Power the unit on as normal but when it is still showing the title screen (shows something like: Humminbird 987c Si Combo”); press the MENU button.
- The screen will change to show three or four menu options. Use the Up/Down Arrow to select System Status.
- The screen will change and show the unit’s software version along with some other information.

This is what is showing on my HB account. I talked to Eufala today . They said that the software is not compatible . I will have to change the 1197. I will take it to them next week . Only an HR away. Sorry about the delay. Mu phone line has benn out for a couple of days. I appreciate the help.

foul hook,
Before I even consider making the trip over here; I would make sure that someone knows of a software combination for those two units that will allow both units to work with the InterLink (I do not). That would have to be a much older version of software for the 1197c Si unit and even at that; it may not work well.
