The MS-5000 concentrator’s function is to control the flow of data between
the host and two or more decoders (or scanners, printers, etc.). Each
device in the multidrop network is assigned an address. The concentrator
polls each device for data and relays that data, along with the device
address, to the host. The concentrator also directs select commands from
the host to individual multidrop devices, to an auxiliary monitor, or to the
concentrator itself.
Note : See chapters 3, 4, and 5 for details of configuration.
