GPS works in OpenCpn but not OpenPlotter NMEA 0183 Multiplexer

Morning,

I recieved my GPS dongle from Sailoog and spent a few min trying to get it working.

• Created seriel connection in the OpenPlotter NMEA 0183 tab.
  
• Checked the NMEA inspector to see if anything was popping up.
  - Got a whole bunch of information in the top window- After about 20min it updated the correct time but still nothing under Lat and Long information
• Opencpn was listening to the network connection created by the multiplexer, but was not getting any info from the GPS.
  
• After giving the GPS an hour I then created a serial connection in Opencpn to see if I could get it working that way, and it works fine, picks up the gps and plots my position in opencpn.
  

I dare say this is not the desired way to use the system as I would not be able to access the gps data through the network port created by the multiplexer.

Please advise,

N Dekker
