Each port on the GCG001 operates independently through an embedded Ethernet switch.
The switch permits the network to be daisy-chained through the GCG001 to other I/O
devices.

Genius Serial Bus Connector
The GCG module is equipped with one active six-
terminal Genius Serial Bus connector. Two terminals
each are provided on a removable terminal block
connector for Serial 1, Serial 2, and Shield connections.
When the bus is terminated at the GCG001, a bus
termination resistor should connect Serial 1 to Serial 2,
with SHLD OUT unterminated.
When the GCG001 is not at the end of the bus, the two
sets of terminals accommodate two bus cables as
shown at right. The Genius bus will continue to
operate even in the absence of power to the GCG001.
(Removing the connector, however, will disrupt the
Genius bus.)
