Daisy Chaining

To control even more computers, up to 31 additional Master View ACS-1208A /ACS-1216Aunits can be daisy chained down from the First Station.

Note: It would be unnecessarily wasteful and expensive to use ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL switches for daisy chaining since there is no point in having consoles on the chained switches. Therefore, ACS-1208A and ACS-1216A switches are used, instead. These are similar in all respects to the ACS-1208AL and ACS-1216AL, except that they come in standard housings without the built in Slideaway console.

As many as 256 (ACS-1208AL) or 512 (ACS-1216AL) computers can be controlled from the unit’s integrated Slideaway console in a complete installation. Tables showing the relation between the number of computers and the number of Master View ACS-1208A / ACS-1216A units needed to control them are provided on p. A-1 in the Appendix.
