TIWAY I NETWORK CONFIGURATION
TIWAY I is a multi-drop communication network which consists of a main trunk cable
(the “spine”) and dropline cables. The network can connect up to 254 secondaries (e.g.,
TI505 P/Cs) to a host computer. The TI505 NIM provides the interface to the network
host, enabling the host and the P/C to communicate with each other.
Also included with this manual is a “TIWAY I Network Configuration Data Sheet” (Ap-
pendix B). This will assist you in maintaining a complete, up-to-date record of the config-
uration of your network, which is especially important if you are using several different
types of secondaries.
