3.3.2.Assigning Nicknames

You can assign Nicknames to every Ethernet Sensor, NMEA2000 instrument/sensor/display and NMEA0183 Receive Port for every MFD in a network. This will help you remember locations and assign the sensors designated as the Primary System Data Source during the next step.

IMPORTANT!: As explained in section 3.2.3 NMEA, if you have NMEA0183 sensors connected to the input ports of MFD(s) on the network, you first need to configure the “Own” settings for each MFD(s) before being able to assign Niccknames.

In order to enter new names, a USB keyboard needs to be used. After assigning new names on the left column, don’t forget to push the “Set” button (lower right) in order to validate the new names.
