Appendix C - Multiple unit control | 153
The interface among the units takes place over a high speed (100 Mbps) data link. The
master unit must be connected to the antenna. The master unit receives the NMEA
signals from an MX antenna and pass it along to the slave and repeater units at a one
second rate. Due to the high speed data link, there is virtually no visible position delay
among the units.
When the units are first configured as master, slave, and repeater, the master unit
mirrors to the slaves and repeaters, and the Common Data Base (see Table D-1) is
downloaded from the master to the slaves and repeaters. This function also takes
place each time the units are powered up. If you happen to have the CFG1 Dual Control
screen active, the status bar will indicate Mirroring during the database update period.
The Table D-3 below shows all the possibilities in the Multiple Unit Control system.
