5 port Ethernet hub 2 units and ipilot link?

http://www.crappie.com/crappie/images/icons/icon1.png 5 port Ethernet 2 units and I link ?

Ok so I have a 1199 up on front deck. I have a 999 I'm putting at the console. The i link for the Terrova is already connected to the 1199. I have the 5 port Ethernet hub , I have 2 Ethernet cables and 2 pigtail adaptor cables. The question is Do I need another ethernet cable for the link to run back to the ethernet hub ? I'm sure I do but wanted to hear from you guys that already have a similar set up . Thanks in advance. Brian from BBG is on vacation or I would have just called him .
i posted this under electronics go no answers ?

1 cable for each unit and 1 for the ipilot link all run to the Ethernet hub Right ?

I have the Link, 958 and a 1198 connected to the hub. Works like a charm.

I watched that already that for the onyx similar , I one cable short

Did I miss your question in the Electronics forums ...??

These guys are correct ... Ethernet only allows 2 devices ... You have 3 ...

So all 3 devices (2 head units and iLink) have to go to the 5 port Ethernet switch ...

And the xx9 series units must have the AS EC QDE adapter cable (which you said you already have for both of your xx9 series units) ...

Thanks Rick

So now that that is all worked out where do I get some of that black mesh sleeve to go over the cables to make it all neat and clean ?

Humminbird Greg said my cable on the ilink should be 30'. No way on mine if it was Id enough for 12 feet hanging out the back. It barely makes it to the front of my console

Hmmm, interesting... the manual states: " CABLE, ETH (M12-M-M12-F, 30’ "
So how long is it?

Ill measure it tonight Greg

So while looking for other items that grew legs and walked off I came across a 30' Ethernet cable oh yeah that came with the pilot Duh. so now I have 2-15 footers a 10 footer and the 30 footer Geez

So now Ya got enough cable to reach plum over to your buddy's boat ...

:biggrin

Rickie

I seem to be missing the 30ft cable

Gobob I'm doing the same to my boat, I guess I need one more cable, a 10fter will do me

The 30 footer came with the link i just misplaced mine

lol I found mine today it was with the old terrova head cover

I thought I could unhook the short cord it comes with and just run the 30' but NOOOO it's hard wired oh well it is what it is lol waiting on a couple switches to come in from my boat dealer that match the others as the ethernet hub needs to be on a switch and I thought well since I'll have all the access covers and such off might as well add some blue water LED's to the mix so I need a switch for them. It never ends lmbo :banghead

Spent the day standing on my head pulling cables to the console, waiting on a rocker switch from my dealer so it matches the others. This is for the ethernet port it has to be switched, Not a lot of room to pull cables through ended up drilling a hole under the dash eliminated the risk of cutting a cable, powered them and went through the network set up. Will need to fine tune once the ice is gone. All that's left is mounting the ducer, maybe tomorrow , still fighting this cold for the 3rd week .
