It is NOT possible to connect more than 2x Sublimes with HW Rev. 1 together

4.1.3 NCB connection
Via the Network Control Bus system several routers and control panels can be
interconnected.
Up to 16 levels of routers, or combinations of routers, can be controlled. The NCB system
and all RS 232 ports interchange the system status. This means that any control system,
either from Nevion, or from a third party manufacturer, connected to any RS 232 port in the
NCB loop, will have access to all communication data on the bus.
4.1.3.1 Connecting control panels
To get a control panel working with a specific router, configure the control panel to the
same level as the router. Several panels can be configured to control the same router.
Panels can also be connected to a router via the RS-232 interface. Please refer to your
control panel manual for installation.
4.1.3.2 Pin-out and cable type
VikinX Sublime routers and Control Panels use RJ45 connectors for the Network Control
Bus ports. The following pin-out is used:
Pin #1 Not Connected
Pin #2 Not Connected
Pin #3 Data (retour)
