OK, I spent a little time (actually a lot of time) today playing with LibreOffice Draw to make the base diagram of the components that need to be connected and configured. This is kind of patterned after the diagram Rogers Electronics in Portland did for Harvey's system, which has a bit more stuff than I do.
I did not show anything that gets connected to the N2K backbone which for now are the Suzuki MFD and N2K GPS. I see there is an extra box on top of the Digital Sounder Module that needs to be deleted! What remains is to add the colored lines corresponding to the wires in each cable showing all the connections, then to figure out routing and configuration for the Miniplex 3 USB-N2K multiplexer, and finally the settings for the Raymarine C-80 so it can accept and display the 38,400 baud AIS output along with the 4,000 baud output of everything else. I am hoping with the collective wisdom here, we'll get 'er done!
