To couple external boxes
For the external boxes that you want to connect, set the
same destinations and levels in step 6.
By coupling a number of external boxes, you can increase
the number of inputs.
Example:
External box 1: set to 8 × 1 size
External box 2: set to 32 × 1 size
By coupling these two external boxes, you obtain 40
inputs (=8+32).
