    Question Dual Solix MSI+ g3 not reading 2d

    Hello all
    I have 2 Solix 12 g3 mega si+ on my council.
    Left one has mega si+ with splitter for 2d in in hull, ethernet, nmea 2000, head sensor and power
    Right one has ethernet mnea 2000 and power
    Both connected to: AS ETH 5PGL - 5 PORT ETHERNET SWITCH
    My question is on the right one I don't get the depth reading. Is the a setting I'm missing or do I have to connect a physical transducer to it?

    You have to select the left one as the source for 2D in the right one's Sonar Source menu.

    The left unit should be listed and you highlight the circle in the 2D source column.

    You could swap the sonar connection to the right unit and see what happens.
    Also your main unit (left) should be allowed to boot fully before you start the right or bow units.
