Typical Remote Controller Installation
(WSC) and the older WSCs is the number of polling groups. The older WSCs had
one polling group for all eight ports. The newer WSCs have two polling groups.
Divide the TWINAX brick in two. Ports 0-3 comprise one polling group and
ports 4-7 make up the other polling group. The TWINAX Brick Detail illustrates
a proper connection.
COLLAPSED RINGSCOLLAPSED RINGS
The Ring mode is seldom implemented as depicted in the previous section.
Typically, fiber optic cables star out from a central location. Therefore, a ring is
created by interconnecting the fiber optic star segments at the central location.
This technique is known as a collapsed ring.
