Setting the Control/Expansion DIP Switch

You must follow the instructions in this section if you are installing multiple carriers. Other- wise, skip to “Installing a Single Carrier on a Shelf or Desk” or “Installing a Single Carrier on a Wall.”

If you are installing multiple carriers, you must designate one carrier (the leftmost carrier) as the control carrier and the remaining carriers as expansion carriers. The control carrier acts as the “lead” carrier—its transmit and receive patterns control the expansion carriers, ensuring that all of the linked carriers function as a single system.
