Networking question.

[Bigwill3435]

Right now I'm running an onix on the console and a onix on the bow with 360. All networked to the 5 port Ethernet switch. I'm moving my onix that is on the bow and going with double onixs on the console. I'm getting a helix 12 di to replace the bow unit. My question is, right now the heading sensor for the 360 is connected to the bow onix unit. When I move it back to the console , do I need to hook up the heading sensor up to the new helix or do I leave it hooked to the onix that will now be on the console. Will I lose the ability to share the heading sensor on my onixs if it's hooked up to the helix? Just a little help please.

I tried to leave my HS connected to the Onix units when I added my Helix 12' for 360. I was not able to see waypoints on the Helix in 360 mode. You will need to add, or move your current HS to the Helix to see waypoints on the Helix in 360 mode.

That sucks. Guess I'm in the market for a heading sensor!!

You can hook it up to the Helix with an adapter . I have my heading sensor hooked to mine.

Exactly what I did. Didn't want to live without HS on any units.
