Chapter 1 Concepts for Using MKY02 (HUB)

1.4 Basic HUB Connection
When adding HUBs to the HLS, connect them so that the HLS can be a tree structure as shown in Figure 1.6.
In such a tree structure, the route node close to the center equipment is called the “center side”. Be sure to
connect port 0 to the center side.
The number of HUBs to be added in the routes derived from the center equipment is called the “number of
inserted (HUBs)”. The “number of inserted” HUBs is determined by the type of center IC and settings made
at the center IC by the user system.
In the system using the MKY36 as a center IC, the user can add up to seven HUBs. No
HUBs can be into a system using the MKY33 as a center IC. For details on each of center
ICs, refer to
“User’s Manual”
for the center IC.
