I am adding to my Lowrance system and have a question. As background, my current system is a HDS 12 Gen 3 linked to a HDS 9 Gen 3 through an Ethernet cable also 4G broadband radar. I have added the Sonic Hub2 with the Sirius weather and radio module. My issue is that both of the Ethernet ports on my HDS 12 are already full with the link to the HDS 9 and the Ethernet cable from the Radar interface box. I have audio, but in order to get the Sirius weather I am guessing I need to find a network expansion box for the Ethernet connection. Does this sound right? Any help would be appreciated.

You're exactly right TW,
You're going to need an NEP or Network Expansion Port unless you have an open port on the Structure Scan module.
One final thought, look on the back of your HDS 12 Gen3 and there could be an extra port on it as well.
Good luck and happy networking!

Thanks Nelly, the NEP is on order can't wait to finish this upgrade to my system.
