Host Connections
2.3
The GLD can be connected to the KDA (page 7), the NetGuardian (page 9), the NetGuardian G4 (page 11), the
NetGuardian G5 (page 12), the IAM (page 14) or T/MonXM (page 15).
Note: There are host version requirements to connect the GLD. See the individual host sections in this manual for
specific minimum version requirements.
2.3.1 Multiple GLDs
Up to twelve GLDs can be installed at one site. The units can be connected to a host in a daisy chain
configuration as shown in the figure below or in a star configuration. Whether connecting 1, 2, or 12
GLD units to the host, the maximum connection length is 1,500 feet. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ from the host
channel are connected to the ‘IN’ side of the communication plug on the bottom of the GLD. The ‘OUT’
side of the communication plug is for daisy chaining to other GLDs.*
* The ‘+’ and ‘-’ ports are universal and therefore either side may be used as an “IN” port or an “OUT” port.
