Livescope with 2 Echomap plus units.

[G3Ray]

I am currently hooking up Livescope in my boat and I have an Echomap plus 93SV and a 73SV. Can anyone point me in the right direction to where I can get my units talking again? Livescope made me unplug my ethernet cable between the two.

Thanks,
Ray

you need a black box to network

When I go on their site, there is about 6 black boxes.

GMS 10 will get the job done.....all you need to do is run power to the power cord and plug your e-net cables to the box and thats it.

Ok thank you, just scored one for a great deal.

I am using a cheap 4 ports desktop switch + standard Ethernet cable (no need crossover cable at all), super good and stable. all you need to pay attention is put the switch under console or the place has no water in, and for the Ethernet cable, you need purchase Garmin Marine Network Cable Connectors install on one of the end of the cable to connect 93sv

Ok have an update hopefully someone can help me out. I got a GMS-10 Box for a great deal from ebay. I ran a wire to my cranking battery and plugged the power cable into the box and nothing is lighting up. The power LED doesnt light up. I called garmin and they said I should check with a volt meter and see if the cable is bad. The cable has 13v's running to the end of the power cable. With those who have the box, when you put your power cable into the box does anything light up? I think my GMS 10 box is bad. Thanks for any help

Live scope will work with this?

This is a sometimes thing. I've seen it work and see it not work. One thing to consider is if you have trouble on your network you'll be out of luck with Garmin Tech Support.

yes, working perfectly on both two EM+ units.

Does the switch need a power source?

[MonteSS]

Black box might not show power until the head unit talks to it and turns it on. Otherwise it would drain the battery.
