Gen 1 Networking issue

    Hello All-
    I have 2 HDS 8 Gen 1 Lowrance units network connected to the side imaging unit and I cant get them to both show the same sonar and side imaging information. I have tried the Auto-configure under the Network setting in the Menu and have tried searching the web and YouTube for videos but I’m not having much luck. Hoping someone on here can give me some guidance as to what I am missing. Thanks all!

    If they are networked via ethernet and not the NMEA network, it should be no problem. I haven’t had a gen 1 in a long time, but you should only have one side imaging transducer, so if you select side imaging on both, you should see the same thing. Sonar you would need to select which transducer you are using if you have one in your TM and a skimmer or thru-hull. There may be some limitations with sharing in the gen 1 units. I remember there being some limitations on what Gen 1 could do, but don’t remember details. Lowrance on-line chat is usually fairly helpful so you could try there.
