Daisy Chaining
To display even more computers/video source devices, up to 3 additional
CM1164 units can be daisy chained from the original CM1164. As many as 16
computers/video source devices can be controlled from a single console in a
complete installation.
To set up a daisy chained installation, make sure that power to all the devices
you will be connecting up has been turned off. Do the following:
1. Use an RJ-45 cable to connect the DCC Out port of the parent CM1164
unit to the DCC In port of the child CM1164 unit (first station out to
second station in, second station out to third station in, etc.).
Note: 1. You cannot use the chain in port of the First Station, since it is the
highest level parent.
2. Daisy chain cable sets require a separate purchase. See your
dealer for details.
2. Cable up the computer and the switch according to the information
provided under Single Station Installation, page 11.
3. Repeat the above for any other switches you want to add to the chain (up
to three).
4. Power up the installation: plug in the power cord for the first station, then
power on each station on the installation in turn (second station, then third
station, etc.). After all the stations are up, power on the computers/video
source devices.
