In Line Terminators (part number R58117) from your authorized Raymarine dealer.
The Interface Box provides an internal terminator atboth PORT 1 and PORT 2. You
must attach an hsb2terminator plug at the end of the hsb2cable where it connects
to the last Pathfinder display or DSM on the network. This applies to both networks
if both ports are used.

Network Configuration
Because the USB2 to hsb2Interface Box provides you with two separate hsb2network
connections, you can set up several different configurations:
Single Display
Whenyou are integrating the RayTech PC with a single Pathfinder display, connect
the cables as shown in the following figure. Install a terminator at the end of the
hsb2cable where it connects to the display.
Multiple Units on a Single Network
You can connect multiple Pathfinder displays and DSMs by linking them together
with hsb2cables asdemonstrated in the following figure. Install a terminator at the
end of the hsb2cable where it connects to the last unit on the network. Although the
following illustration only shows displays attached, you can also connect a DSM to
the network.

Multiple Units on Two Networks
By connecting a display to both PORT1 and PORT2 you place each display on a
separate hsb2network. Thismeans you can attach multiple displays and DSMs to
each network by linking them together with hsb2cables. Under normal
circumstances, if you have multiple displays and DSMs installed, you would
distribute the units equally between the two networks. The Interface Box links the
two ports into one contiguous hsb2network.
You must install terminators at the end ofthe hsb2cables that connect to the last
units on BOTH networks.The following figure demonstrates connecting one display
to each network.

Using Multiple Interface Boxes
You can also incorporate multiple Interface Boxes within the hsb2network. Ifyou
have multiple units installed, distribute them equally between the Interface Boxes.
You must install terminators at the end of the hsb2cables that connect to the last
display orDSM on each side of the network. This configuration is demonstrated in
the following figure. For clarity, the power connection cables are not shown.
