5.5. Scalability
If you wish to synchronise more devices, multiple OEM U16S can be connected together (either
in a star topology or daisy chained) to allow up to 96 devices to be managed from a single host
computer simultaneously
In order to daisy-chain multiple OEM U16S, each OEM U16S needs to be connected to mains
power individually and the first OEM U16S in the chain should be connected to the local
computer through the "host port". The host port of the next board in the daisy-chain is then
connected to any of the first OEM U16S downstream USB ports. More boards are added in the
same way.
Using this daisy-chain approach, a maximum of three additional boards can be linked, allowing
a total of 96 devices to be sync'd from a single host computer.
