Thread: Confused by Network Settings

I networked a Helix 10 Gen2 to my older Humminbird 898. There is one transducer and it is for Helix. Everything I read said how easy networking was, just connect the two units with the proper cables. Then I discover there is a network manual that is about 40 pages long. I realize most of it does not apply tp my network. But, I read that I have to turn CHIRP off on the Helix in order to have data on the 898. So, in Network Settings I turned CHIRP off. Guess what. I have no Down Imaging or Side Imaging functions on the Helix. What good is that? Anyone?

Thanks for reply. In turning CHIRP off I had read the Networking Manual and I called Humminbird. Their rep had me go to the Network tab of the Menu and un-check the boxes for CHIRP Down and side imaging. I will turn them back on and go to Configuration in the Setup tab as you said. I was wondering about the 2D, and you have answered that. Can't thank you enough for all of your help. I will post back with results when I get boat back in the water--might be a few days (rain, rain and more rain).
