AS ETH 5PXG and AS ETH 5PGL Compared
Item Number, Description, and Compatibility
Item Number |
Description |
Compatibility |
|
This waterproof switch allows you to quickly and easily connect up to five Ethernet items. A network switch is not needed if networking just two devices. Use it to link multiple network compatible fish finders, share transducers, add an NMEA 2000 network or step up to the Humminbird Radar. With so many options, the possibilities are endless. Note: AS ETH 5 PXG does not have any indicator lights. Note: A Series, X Series and APEX, XPLORE and SOLIX G3 running 5.060 and higher can not be on the same network as fish finders running 4.210 and lower (HELIX, SOLIX G1, SOLIX G2 or Legacy) |

This Ethernet switch allows you to connect to up to five compatible fish finders and Ethernet-compatible devices to create an integrated network capable of sharing information across all connected devices. A network switch is not needed if networking just two devices. The amber power light lets you know you are connected to power, while the amber and green connection lights give you a quick status of what’s connected:
Note: A Series, X Series and APEX, XPLORE and SOLIX G3 running 5.060 and higher can not be on the same network as fish finders running 4.210 and lower (HELIX, SOLIX G1, or SOLIX G2) |

AS ETH 5PGL LED Indicator Lights
- The power indicator light will turn on when there is power to the switch
- Port lights change color according to the speed of the link
- A blinking light indicates activity on the link
| Color | Link Speed | Products |
| Green | Gigabit (1000Mbps) | SOLIX, APEX, 5PXG, 5PGL, and accessories that support Gigabit speed (ex. MEGA Live) |
| Amber | 100Base-T (100 Mbps) | X Series, XPLORE, HELIX and accessories that support 100Base-T (ex. HB 2124 CHIRP Radar) |
Light Status and Meaning
- Solid Amber: Power to the Switch
- Green Blinking: APEX, SOLIX, MEGA Live, MEGA Live TL, AS ETH 5PGL, or AS ETH 5PXG is connected and communicating.
- Amber Blinking: HELIX G3N/G4N, CHIRP Radar, 360 Imaging (Non MEGA), AS ETH NMEA2K, or i-Pilot Link is connected and communicating.
Troubleshooting
Fishing System Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached
- A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing System to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishing System, it goes into Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:
- Check the connections of all transducers that are connected to the control head or Ethernet network. See the transducer installation guide that was included with your Fishing System for connection information. Reconnect if necessary, and power up the Fishing System again to see if this fixes the problem.
- Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and power up the control head again.
- Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.
