+This document explains how to connect to Raymarine MFDs using an Ethernet connection. Also, the last chapter explains the Raymarine specifics when connecting on NMEA2000.
 The integration technology used is called [[http://www.raymarine.com/multifunction-displays/lighthouse3/lighthouse-apps.html|LightHouse Apps]] by Raymarine.

 ===== 7. NMEA 2000 =====
-The MFD can also be connected to the Victron system using NMEA 2000, see the [[ve.can:nmea-2000:start|]].
+A Raymarine MFD can also be connected to the Victron system using NMEA 2000. If you’re new to NMEA2000 & Victron, start with reading the [[ve.can:nmea-2000:start|]].
-In order to properly display the NMEA 2000 data from Victron equipment, you need to change the data instances of the PGNs that are sent out. See here for how to do that: [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ve.can:changing_nmea2000_instances|Changing NMEA2000 Instances]], section Data instances.

+If you have more than 1 battery be sure to adjust the settings of the Axiom to the correct amount of battery(banks).
 The following Victron related PGNs are supported:

+When the NMEA2000/STNg network has GPS data the GX device sees this as a GPS source and is able to use the GPS position in VRM.
 Below list of Victron related PGNs are not supported by the Raymarine, ie. in our tests we could not get such data to show on the MFD using NMEA2000 (use the Marine MFD App instead to see the same data!):
