gBME COMM interconnect ports — If the matrix switcher system consists of more than one BME, the BMEs must be connected together in a daisy chain using Extron-supplied RJ-45 cables.

a. Connect the first daisy chain from BME 0’s BME Comm Out connector to the nearest BME’s BME Comm In connector (figure 2-9). In a rack where BMEs are arranged so that their physical location matches the BME address numbering, this would be BME 1. But since not all systems are configured alike, call this module BME n.

b. Connect the next RJ-45 cable from BME n’s BME Comm Out connector to the nearest unconnected BME’s (BME n+1’s) BME Comm In connector.

c. Continue connecting RJ-45 cables from each daisy-chained module’s BME Comm Out connector to the next module’s BME Comm In connector until all modules are included in the chain. When all of the BMEs are connected, each of the BMEs in the system is connected to at least one other BME via the BME Comm connectors.
