MX500 USB Feature Overview
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, and is a data port
in the MX500 that allows the use of USB flash drive
(memory stick) to save and restore waypoints, routes
and configuration data. In addition it can also be used to
download the MX500 firmware for software updates. Not
all commercially available USB flash drives are compat-
ible with the MX500.
USB Formatting:
Before the USB device (i.e. flash drive) can be used for
the MX500, it is important to format it to FAT32 file sys-
tem. This is available from any PC running Windows XP or
higher.
USB Waterproong:
When the USB port in the MX500 is not in use, please
close the rubber flap in order to maintain splashproof
integrity.
Do not remove the USB rubber ap completely from
the MX500 unit. This will affect the splashproof
integrity.
MX500 Networking Overview
The MX500 networking technology lets you connect two
or more MX500 units in Dual-Control or Multiple Unit
Control configuration via LAN (Local Area Networking)
in order to share navigation data among the units. A
change to routes and waypoints in the master or in a
slave unit is mirrored on all the networked units.
One MX500 is designated as the master and all others as
slaves or repeaters. The only restrictions on the network-
ing are the following:
There must be one and only one master unit operat- •
ing in a network.
All MX500 units must have the same software version. •
