Daisy Chaining
To control even more computers, up to 31 additional Master View
ACS-1208A / ACS-1216A units can be daisy chained down from the
First Station.
Note: It would be unnecessarily wasteful and expensive to use
ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL switches for daisy chaining
since there is no point in having consoles on the chained
switches. Therefore, ACS-1208A and ACS-1216A switches
are used, instead. These are similar in all respects to the
ACS-1208AL and ACS-1216AL, except that they come in
standard housings without the built in Slideaway
console.
As many as 256 (ACS-1208AL) or 512 (ACS-1216AL) computers can be
controlled from the unit’s integrated Slideaway
 console in a complete
installation. Tables showing the relation between the number of computers
and the number of Master View ACS-1208A / ACS-1216A units needed
to control them are provided on p. A-1 in the Appendix.
