GMI 10 and GMI 20 devices on a NMEA 2000 network and using the Auto On feature

The GMI 10 and GMI 20 have a feature called Auto Power On that will allow the device to turn on when power is applied to the device.

Every GMI 10 and GMI 20 have the ability to turn this feature on or off. If however, more than one is connected to a NMEA 2000 network, all of them will use the Auto Power On feature even if only one of the them has this setting turned on. In this scenario, if two have the feature turned off and one has the feature turned on, all of the devices will be turned on when power is applied to the NMEA 2000 network.
