Daisy Chain Configuration
In a daisy-chain configuration, the first remote in the chain is connected to the host. The
first remote connects to a second remote, and the second to a third, and so on.
When remotes are daisy-chained, the failure of one remote in the chain can cause the
downstream remotes to lose signal. A Dali optical bypass switch ensures the continuity
of signal flow by rerouting the signal from the failed unit to the next remote in the chain.
Contact Dali Customer Service about installation and configuration of this option.
The number of daisy-chained remotes depends on maximum round trip delay between
the host and the furthest remote. For example, an office building with a dedicated base
station could support 20 or more daisy-chained remotes.

Host units can also be daisy chained, for more optical port capacity.
