4.5.Connecting Optional IPS Satellite Units

If desired, up to 16 optional IPS Satellite Units can be connected to each IPS Master Unit. Satellite units are connected in a "chain", with the Master unit being the first "link" in the chain as shown in Figure 4.4. To connect IPS Satellite Units, proceed as follows:

1.Linking: Use a standard, straight wired RJ-11 cable (such as WTI's AC-10, AC-50, or AC-100 cables) to connect the Master Unit and the Satellite Unit(s). Note that the two RJ11 jacks on the Satellite Unit's "Link" ports are interchangeable; either RJ11 jack can be used.

Note: The distance between each IPS unit should not exceed 100 feet.

2.Address Selection: When connecting the optional Satellite Units, note that an address must be selected for each satellite, and up to four Satellite Units can share the same address. These addresses allow the IPS-15 Master Unit to direct On/Off/Boot commands to a specific Satellite Unit, or group of Satellite Units.

a)The IPS-15 Master Unit always has an address of "1."

b)The Address Selector slider on the front panel is used to

set the address to "2" to "5" for each Satellite Unit. 4-3
