The following illustration shows a single TACP in a multiple Multiviewer
System.

The TACP can control the Multiviewer system independently once the
configuration has been downloaded from the ACP.

Each TACP is capable of controlling the Multiviewer system from seven
different IP over the Ethernet switch. Also, one RS-232 connection allows you to
directly connect to another group of Multiviewer system.
