Ethernet cross-over joiner cable 0.5 m (1.6 ft) female / female.
This can be used to connect no more than 2 network devices together e.g a
radar processor and a GB40 NavComputer.
The cable has female connectors at each end. Two standard ethernet cables
are required to link to network devices.
Connector ends are red in color.
Tip:
When deciding which standard ethernet cables to order, locate the
crossover joiner where logically a network linker could be placed in the
future if the system was upgraded.
If more than 2 ethernet devices are going to be used please use the Navico
8 Port Linker (see G).

5.4 Radar system checklist
When you've finished the wiring, visually check that:
• Each component is securely mounted and able to withstand rough sea conditions.
• All the cables are correctly installed; and
• any cable shield mesh is correctly configured,
• all cable entry points are watertight, and
• water can't leak into the scanner.
Now you are ready to interface to your choice of display head.
5.5 Setup the radar with the GB40 or 8000i
Starting up the Radar
When commissioning the Navico radar, leave the unit on Standby for 20 minutes
before transmitting. This makes sure the magnetron reaches optimum operating
temperature, extending the lifetime and aiding the auto tune function. Normal use
afterwards only requires the standard standby count down.
• Select Radar on your OP30 controller or touch screen (8000i),
• Radar Mode shows the current radar mode.
• Select Radar Mode to display an option list:
