Setting up the SDC 8000 system
other synthetics. Despite a thorough testing of the synthetics used by us, we cannot rule out the possibility of staining.
Interconnecting the SDC 8000 system components
Depending on the expansion stage of your system, you have to:
yinterconnect the consoles (all expansion stages),
yinterconnect the central units (expansion stage 3),
yconnect a PC to the “master” central unit if the system is to be PC controlled.
Interconnecting the consoles
To interconnect the consoles via the system cables:
Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the OUT socket of the console.
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket of the console.
Note!
You can interconnect up to 15 consoles in one cable string.
Connecting a cable string to the central unit
After having interconnected the consoles, connect the cable strings to the central unit. You can connect up to six cable strings to a single central unit. To connect a cable string to the central unit:
Connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system cable to one of the RJ 45
sockets labelled PORT 1 to PORT 6 of the central unit.
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable to the IN socket of the first console of a cable string.
Initialize the consoles as described in the section “Turning on the central unit for the first time” on page 76.
Interconnecting several central units
If you have to interconnect several central units, we recommend mounting the central units into a rack.
To interconnect the central units:
At the first central unit, connect the black RJ 45 plug of the system
cable to the MASTER OUTsocket .
If the SLAVE IN socket of a central unit is not connected, this central unit automatically becomes the “master”.
Connect the grey RJ 45 plug of the system cable connected to the
“master” to the SLAVE IN socket of the second central unit.
If the SLAVE IN socket of a central unit is connected, this central unit automatically becomes a “slave”.
To connect additional “slaves”, connect the SLAVE OUT socket of the first “slave” to the SLAVE IN socket of the following “slave”, and so on.
