When turning on my TWO new AT2s for the first time / updating them / testing them to see that they both work - I only got one source to be recognized by my HDS lives. When I first booted up, it showed that I needed to update two Active Targets, so I downloaded the 23.3 and upgraded them both at the same time - got the upgrade complete on both, too. Problem is, now I only see 1 source to choose when I open up Active Target. I only was prompted to an initial setup for 1 AT2 (where you choose freshwater over saltwater, and 1 other thing I think). I should have had to do this twice for both AT2s, but it never happened.
I'm going to troubleshoot the other AT2 to make sure the problem is in the module itself. I have 1 new AT2 ducer working (pinging audially and showing a recognized screen on all my HDS lives - 2 at the bow and 1 at the console ), So I can use that Ducer on the WORKING module to see if I get a source on my live and that should prove that the ducer for the NON-WORKING AT2 is fine. Then, I can use a working ethernet cord to my NON-WORKING AT2 module to make sure that it's not the ethernet wire (it worked for WORKING module and if it fixes the problem with the NON-WORKING AT 2 then I know it is a bad ethernet wire). I also have my old AT 1 module that worked fine that I could hook up at the SAME TIME as the new WORKING AT2. If they BOTH work and show up as two different AT sources that can both be seen on my lives, then it should prove that I have 1 bad AT2 module.
What other ways (perhaps easier) is there to determine if the AT2 module is bad? IF my non-working AT2 module is bad, what then? I bought from Bass Pros Shop and have a store 45 minutes away even though I bought online. Do I reach out to Lowrance or do I reach out to Bass Pros ? Would I just be able to bring the module to Bass Pros or would they want the whole thing packaged up like it came (that would suck as I've wired that Ducer up pretty well). Thanks.
Here's my network setup:
AT#1 to console Live
Console Live to Bow Live #1
Bow Live #1 to Bow Live #2
AT#2 to Bow Live #2
In this setup all units must be on for complete sharing across the entire network.
