Figure 3-11. Chain Port Connections
Figure 3-12. Typical Chaining Configuration
Figure 3-12 shows a standard Chain Port implementation. Each Access-T can be
a Series 200, 400, or 1500 unit. Chain limits are:
•
Up to 30 Series 100/200/400 units.
•
Two fully loaded Series 1500 units.
•
Any number of Series 100, 200, 400, and 1500 units, so long as the total
number of Access-T 1500 modules, Series 100, Series 200 units, and
Series 400 units does not exceed 30.
Note:
The Chain Port can also be used for an RS485
TABS-Interface connection to a single Access-T or to a
chain of slave Access-Ts, if desired. Modem connec-
tions are not supported.
