5-2 Network Cabling and System Performance
Network Overview
The link power system is designed to support free topology wiring, and will accommodate bus,
star, loop, or any combination of these topologies. LPT-11 transceivers can be located at any
point along the network wiring, as can the LPI-10 module and its associated power supply. This
capability simplifies system installation and makes it easy to add devices should the system need
to be expanded. Figures 5.1 through 5.5 present five different network topologies.
