Note

 

Each slave must be connected directly to the network and configured 

the following parameters configured before being connected to the 

MASTER: 

 

Transmission Range: Select the desired transmission range of 

the slave Exciter so that the LF coverage is sufficient and some  

overlap exists between the chained Exciters' LF coverage 

 

 

Connected to network: Make sure the Connected to network 

checkbox is unchecked. 

 

Chaining and External Connections: Check the Exciter is Slave 

Checkbox   

 

Resetting the EX5500 Controller IP Address
