2.3 Settings for Two Network Sounders

2.3.1 Two ETR-30N network sounders

When installing two ETR-30N set the HOST NAME control to “0” for the No. 1 ETR-30N and “1” for the No. 2 ETR-30 N. Turn the ETR-30N off and on again after setting the HOST NAME control to register settings. When connecting NET KP, the ETR-30N having the lowest IP address outputs the KP and other ETR-30N receives it. The ETR-30N having high output power and low frequency should be set as the “Master” (HOST NAME control setting “0”).

1.Set tap settings of the No. 1 and No. 2 ETR-30N as in paragraph 2.2.1.

2.Following the procedure in paragraph 2.2.2, confirm that the sounder source for the No.1 ETR-30N is “SOUNDER.” (HOST NAME control is set to “0.”)

3.Set up the No. 1 ETR-30 as shown in paragraph 2.2.3.

4.Set the HOST NAME control of the No. 2 ETR-30N to “1” and then turn on the power.

5.As shown in paragraph 2.2.2, set sounder source for “SOUNDER1” on the NavNet display unit as below.

a)Rotate the [ENTER] knob to choose SOUNDER SOURCE.

b)Press the EDIT soft key.

c)Enter SOUNDER1 with the numeric keys.

d)Press the RETURN soft key.

Note: The HOST NAME control setting and sounder source name (numeric) must agree. (See the table below.) If not, the equipment cannot function.

6. Set the No. 2 ETR-30N as shown in paragraph 2.2.3.
