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.
