Master/Slave & Stand Alone 

The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link units in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the first unit 

in the daisy chain will command all other units following. Stand Alone can simply be achieved by 

setting all units to Master. They would no longer be required to be linked in series.
