Microboards NET Configuration

The Microboards NET configuration allows you to connect multiple 10-drive tower duplicators. They can function together as a single duplicator with 10 drives per tower for ultra high-quantity production, or can operate independently as stand-alone duplicators, each copying from a different master.

It does not matter which tower is set as the Master; the only restriction is that one tower of the chain must have the NET cable connected to the Out port only. The last tower in the chain will only use the In port.

Configuration Options

To set the Multi-Tower configuration, turn on power
	NET MASTER	NET MASTER

configuration options to be displayed, as shown to	YES: SET MASTER	NO: STANDALONE

Basic Configuration

The most basic configuration would be to set the first tower as the Master with the remaining towers as Slaves. For this configuration, you would only need to press the YES button on the Master tower when the configuration options are showing.

The result with a six-tower configuration is shown above. Only the reader and hard drive on the NET Master will be available as source drives.

Net Reboot and Basic Configuration

To run the Net Reboot, press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads SETUP. Press the YES button, then press either the ▲or ▼ button until the display reads NET REBOOT. Press YES and all towers will reboot.
