Raymarine ST1000/2000 with ST to STng, here's how you do it!

How can I connect an ST1000/2000 to a SeaTalk ng network via the SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk ng converter?

To connect an ST1000/2000 autopilot to a SeaTalk ng network via the SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk ng converter, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the converter: The SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk ng converter is a device that enables communication between older SeaTalk 1 devices and the newer SeaTalk ng network. Make sure you have the converter and necessary cables available.
2. Connect the ST1000/2000 to the converter: Connect the ST1000/2000 autopilot to the SeaTalk 1 port on the converter. This is usually done with a SeaTalk 1 cable that has the correct connections for the autopilot and the converter.
3. Connect the converter to the SeaTalk ng network: Connect the SeaTalk ng port on the converter to the SeaTalk ng backbone with a SeaTalk ng cable. The SeaTalk ng backbone is the main communication line for SeaTalk ng devices and can have multiple connection points.
4. Check the connections: Make sure all connections are properly made and that the cables are securely connected. Check that the converter is powered and that the ST1000/2000 autopilot is correctly connected to the SeaTalk ng network.
5. Configure the devices: Once the connections are made, configure the ST1000/2000 autopilot and other SeaTalk ng devices to ensure they communicate correctly. This may involve adjusting settings on the autopilot or other devices in the network.

By following these steps, you can successfully connect an ST1000/2000 autopilot to a SeaTalk ng network via the SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk ng converter.
