The control signals should be daisy-chain connected to all racks that are going to respond to the backup
looks. In remote mode, rack 1 upper control module is the module that sends the LCD information to the
HHT, while all the other control modules just listen. For this reason, if each of the control modules is not set
up with its own unique identity, then the system may not respond in remote mode properly.
