Connecting Master and Slave Towers
The Microboards DVD Premium Pro NET tower line requires a physical connection between the towers. A tower will be designated as a Master or as a Slave tower initially based solely on the configuration of the connection.
The directions below give 2 connection scenarios: a 2-tower configuration, and a Multi-Tower configuration. Please use the appropriate instructions based on the number of towers you have. The diagrams below show the backs of the towers.
For the 2-Tower configuration, connect the OUT port of one tower to the IN port of the other using the provided cabling. Whichever tower is connected by the OUT port will become the Master tower. The tower that is connected by the IN port other will become the Slave tower.
Once the towers are turned on and initialized, press YES on the Master tower to enter NET mode.
For Stand-alone operation, press NO on both the Master and Slave when the configuration display is showing. Each tower will then operate as an independent tower.
To return to NET mode, you will need to restart both towers.

2-Tower Configuration
Master | Slave | Slave |
Tower | Tower | Tower |
| One | Two |
For Multi-Tower configuration (3 towers are shown here), select one tower as the Master and connect one end of one of the provided cables to the OUT port on the Master tower and the other end to the IN port on Slave Tower One. Plug the next cable to the OUT port of Slave Tower One and to the IN port of Slave Tower Two.
If you have more than 3 towers, continue to connect the remaining towers in the same fashion. The last tower will only have a cable connected to the IN port.
Once the Master and Slave towers have initialized, the displays will give you the configuration options.
