Introduction

1. INSTALL AN ETHERNET CONNECTION

If your Humminbird control head has a built-in Ethernet connector, the unit can be connected to the Ethernet network. When you
connect the units together, data is shared between the two units.

Before you start, please note that the Ethernet network installation has the following requirements:

pdate Software: Your model may require a software update to enable Ethernet. Log in to your account at humminbird.com

• U

to download the latest software update. For assistance, contact Customer Service.

• Install the control heads and sources (GPS, transducers, temp/speed accessories, etc.) for your Fishing System. See the

equipment installation guides for details.

• Purchase Ethernet Connection Cables (separate purchase required): Your network configuration and Ethernet port shape will

determine which Humminbird connection cables you will need to purchase.

Purchase Ethernet Cables and Equipment

1. Review the illustrations on the following pages. Find your control head models and locate the Ethernet port on each control

head.

The shape of the Ethernet port determines the cable(s) you need to purchase, as shown in the following table. The Ethernet
port will be round or shaped like an hourglass.

2. Review the illustrations on the preceding pages. Find your control head models and locate the Ethernet port on each control
head.

3. Connect the Ethernet cable(s) together and route them to each control head. Connect the Ethernet cable(s) to each Ethernet
port, noting the following:

• The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the port.

• On round cable connectors, hand-tighten the screw nut to secure the connection.

• If the control head has a round Ethernet port, the Ethernet cable can be connected directly to the control head. If the control

head has an hourglass-shaped port, it will connect to the unit through a cable collector or cable tray. Consult your control
head installation guide for details.

CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded. If cables are installed in a
splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric
grease can be purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.
