I have a 2 carbons at my console. When selecting transducer i do not see an option for channel 2 so I can select My active Imaging 2 in one xducer. Will it read automatically?

It should say AI 2-1 at the bottom which is non selectable
Im not getting that option. I dont even see a channel 2
I turned off legacy mode... my gen 2 up front must have thrown everything off. I see it now.

Your thread is what made me turn off legacy mode. Im not running live sight but, is the hds gen 2 touch hindering the carbon 12 and 16? Would it be best if I take the Gen 2 off the network?
If the Gen 2 is on the network you cannot run two 2D sources on any unit on the network. There will no option for Channel 2. The 2 in 1 should still work connected to the Structure port. Remember, the channels have NOTHING to do with Structure readings. They only refer to 2D sonar. Channel 1 is the blue plug. Channel 2 is the black plug. You should not have to select the AI transducer. Just go to the Structure page and select This Unit as the source.

Sooo take the gen 2 out of network?
You don’t have too. You only have one 2D source on your Carbon. Your 2 in 1 won’t be affected. You will be in Legacy mode but that shouldn’t matter. Other than getting annoying messages upon startup.

I think the Legacy mode is off. Should I turn it back on. I didnt have this issue when I had the gen 2 touch, gen 3 and the carbon in net work.
Legacy mode is automatic. You can’t turn it on or off. It is triggered by a unit older (Legacy unit) than Gen 3 on your network. What is the actual problem? Your units should work fine with the Gen 2 on the network. I’m not understanding what the issue is.

There may not be one... i just couldnt see the channel 2. I could on my carbon. Im not techy
No problem. You don’t need Channel 2. So I think you are good.

Again please excuse my ignorance. When i fire up my carbon 16 I get this message.
It looks like all my units are up to date. I now have my gen 3 12 at the bow and a carbon 16 and 12 at the console. I get this message on my 16 when i turn my carbon 12 on at the console. What does this message me
It appears all my units are up to date
You previously had a legacy-unit in the (ethernet) network. Assuming you have removed that, save waypoints and hard reset your other units.
Agree with TC. But even if you kept the Gen 2 everything would still work. Like I said in post 9, that is the annoying message. But since you don’t need Channel 2, just disregard it. Now that you have Gen 3 in the system, Legacy mode won’t be an issue.
