1.2.1 System Architecture Overview
IVD Master has the capability to subtend up to 6 Slaves. The hardware interface of Master unit
covers Alarm relay, console, management with RJ45, Gigabits optical interface with SC connector,
GE subtend interface with RJ45 connector. Users can connect the IVD slave to an subtend
interface of Master, Ethernet WAN switch using a straight-through Category 5 UTP 8C8P cable
with RJ-45 connectors. Then, connecting the other end of the cable to subtend interface, users
can stack multiple IVD Slave units up to the number of ports available on the Ethernet switch as
shown in the following page
.
