    USA Networking 4 Helix's, 360 and Ultrex Help

    So I have 4 Helix G2 un its, (3) Helix 10 and (1) Helix 12 . I have have my Ultrex 112, as well as a Non mega 360 Image. That makes 6 units, I have a switch under the my dash to bring all the erthent cables too. Is there a splitter or adapter to add the 360 or disconnet the Ultrex from the nework and hook the 360 up to it. Is there any real value in have the Ultrex on the network? The last option by a second switch, and a short cable. Please share any input you all may have.

    If you want 6 connections, you need two AS ETH 5PXG Ethernet Switches. You connect the two Switches with an Ethernet cable and that gives you 8 ports for device connections.
    You should already know if iPilot LINK is useful to you.

    That is what I thought I was going to have to do.. I guess it's only money.... So I assume you did the same with your set up.

    No, I don't use all of them at any time. I use different combinations depending on where and why I am on the water. Sometimes I will have just one unit either at the console or bow.
