EXPANSION
Up to four Total Access 1248 systems can be connected together (see Figure 2-2). One of the
units must be a Total Access 1248 host unit (P/N 1179641L4) and the others are Total Access
1248 client units (P/N 1179641L5).
The client units (also referred to as Expansion units) have RJ-45 jacks, labeled EXPANSION IN
and EXPANSION OUT, for the purpose of expanding one to another.
The Total Access 1248 host unit provides the network connection for all of the client units. All
provisioning for the clients is completed through the host unit.
Beginning with the host, a Category 5e, non-crossover cable is connected from the EXPANSION
OUT jack of the host unit to the EXPANSION IN jack of the first client unit. Further connections
between client unit EXPANSION OUT jacks to EXPANSION IN jacks continue until a total of up to
three client units have been connected with the third client unit having only a connection to
the EXPANSION IN jack.
