Description
In this session you will:
- Learn how Minn Kota and Humminbird products interact
- Observe Physical Interactions
- Built-In Sonar
- Mega 360 and Mega Target Lock
- Learn the functions of the wired Ethernet Network
- Learn the capabilities of the Bluetooth wireless network
- Discuss troubleshooting issues within the network
- Identifying Minn Kota repairs
- Understand when to refer the consumer to Humminbird Customer Service
Demonstrated Tasks:
- Connect an i-Pilot Link to Humminbird Unit via Ethernet Cable
- Bluetooth connect the i-Pilot Link System to an anchor (Talon or Raptor)
- Bluetooth connect a Humminbird Unit to an anchor (Talon or Raptor)
- View “Device List” within the Anchor’s App.
- View “Device List” on Humminbird Units
Hands-On Use:
- Use Simulated GPS to explore navigation options.
Discussion Topics:
- Built-In Sonar (DSC/US2, Built-in MDI & MSI) Trouble Shooting
- Proper Humminbird Setting
- Proper Connections
- Correct Adaptor
- App Capabilities
- Software Updates
- Some Functions
- Network Monitoring (in some apps)
- Solix/Apex vs. Helix
Key Concepts:
- If more than 2 Ethernet Devices are connected a 5 Port Switch is required to expand the network
- Power Issues at the 5 Port Switch should be considered a possibility any time intermittent connectivity is reported
- The i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link System connects to the anchor. Control from the i-Pilot Link remote has the remote send its signal to the “Head” that then sends the signal to the anchor.
- If two anchors are in use Pair the anchors to each other before pairing them to any other devices
- Observing the device list you can see what devices are connected and see when devices, especially remotes, are connecting and disconnecting
- Built-in Sonar is unfortunately not reasonably tested in your shop
- One Boat Network App gives full motor control for 2024 and newer GPS Enabled trolling motors. It does not communicate with i-Pilot or i-Pilot Link motors, the i-Pilot and i-Pilot Link apps will remain operating.
- One Boat Network includes full accessory control, replaces Talon and Raptor Apps
- One Boat Network App replaces Humminbird Fish Smart App.
