How To Interconnect
Units
To interconnect any two Switch 4900 Series or Switch 4050/4060 units
you will need to order the XRN Interconnect Module Kit (3C17715). The
kit consists of two XRN Interconnect Modules and an Interconnect Cable.
Both Switches must have an unused expansion slot to allow an
Interconnect Module to be fitted.
