2. If you want to cascade DX packages, get an additional standard
network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) and then:
a. Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the
prior DX package.
b. Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX
package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX packages.
3. Connect the first DX sensor package to the PX.
 Plug the adapter cable's RJ-12 connector into the RJ-12
SENSOR port of the PX.
4. If needed, connect a DPX2 sensor package to the end of the DX
chain. See
Connecting a DPX2 Sensor Package to DX
(on page
47).
Note: If your PX has "two" RJ-12 SENSOR ports, see Guidelines for PX
with Two Sensor Ports (on page 54) for sensor connection restrictions.
Connecting a DPX2 Sensor Package to DX
You can connect only one DPX2 sensor package to the "end" of a DX
sensor chain. It is strongly recommended to use an RJ-12 to RJ-45
adapter for connecting the DPX2 to the final DX in the chain.
The maximum number of DX sensor packages in the chain must be less
than 12 when a DPX2 sensor package is involved.
When connecting a DPX2 sensor package containing three
DPX2 sensors:
A maximum of nine DX sensor packages can be cascaded because
12-3=9.
