There are so many details you did not give. Model number, software version. accessories.
But here is what is listed on the Raymarine website.

  • Applicable for: SPX5, SPX10, SPX30, SPXSOL, SPXCAN
  • Software Version: v3.05 & v4.00 (SPXCAN only)
  • Release Date: August 2012
  • Replaces: v3.00

SPX5/10/30/SOL
v3.00 March 2011
  • Alarm management has been enhanced and adds two new Alarms to inform the helmsman if the Pilot has erroneously dropped into Standby from any of the engaged modes. (E.g. Auto, Track, Vane, Pattern).
    • Autopilot Controllers and Pilot enabled MFD's connected on Seatalk 1 will alarm and display the following:
      • "PILOT RESET" - Autopilot resets due to an external event. (User presses Sleep switch, disables power or a faulty installation / wiring causing Course Computer to power cycle).
      • "PILOT S RESET" - Autopilot soft resets due to Pilot system internal error causing processor to reset.
  • Autopilot Controllers and Pilot enabled MFD's connected on Seatalk NG will alarm and display the following:
    • "DRIVE STOPPED" - Autopilot resets due to an external event. (User presses Sleep switch, disables power or a faulty installation / wiring causing Course Computer to power cycle).
    • "DRIVE STOPPED" - Autopilot soft resets due to Pilot system internal error causing processor to reset.
  • Pilot Data Tunnelling:
    • All Seatalk 1 Pilot commands and calibration data now tunnelled via the Seatalk to Seatalk NG Converter and decoded from Seatalk NG by the SPX Course Computer. This will now allow Seatalk 1 Controllers such as the ST6/7/8002 and the SmartController to be connected via the Converter to the Seatalk NG Backbone. (See example diagrams 2 below).
    • Compatibility Note:
      • The Seatalk to NG Converter software must be at level (v1.10) to function correctly. (TU454)
    • Installation Note:
      • The new SPX software will now detect a Pilot data loop and alarm "Seatalk Fail". Therefore avoid connecting both Seatalk Pilot Controllers via the Converter and Seatalk directly to the Course Computer.

Call Raymarine

When ever I needed help with my Raymarine equipment I called Ray and always got great help with setting up my equipment and some times just called for
advice or just ask questions and they are great always coming to the rescue.
I find that calling from home is not as good and find calling with a full battery on my cellphone at the boat and they will talk to you step by step with help and will help figure out how to find a problem and help fix it.
Yes some times they are very busy and need to call a few times to get to a person to help.
