Figure 4: Daisy-Chaining KDS-DEC3 Decoders
When daisy chaining decoders, consider the following:
Some DHCP servers may encounter problems when assigning an IP
address to a new decoder daisy chained to an existing decoder in your
KDS-EN3
environment. To avoid potential problems, we recommend you
first connect a new decoder directly to the network. You can daisy chain the
new decoder to a decoder in your
KDS-EN3
environment
after
the decoder
is assigned an IP address through DHCP.
When daisy chaining network connections, the maximum number of
KDS-DEC3
decoders connected together is ten (10). Depending on your
hardware and network settings, the number of decoders you can daisy chain
on the same network jack may be lower.
