Daisy Chaining
To manage even more devices, up to 15 additional PN0108s can be daisy
chained down from the top level unit. Up to 128 devices can be managed on a
complete installation. To set up a daisy chained installation do the following:
1. For each PN0108 that you add to the chain, use the DB-9 to DB-9 PON
cable that was provided with it to connect the parent PN0108's PON OUT
port to the child PN0108's PON IN port.
2. Power up the daisy chained PN0108s in sequence starting with the highest
level parent and working down. In each case, wait for the PN0108's
Station ID to be ascertained and displayed on the Station ID LED before
powering on the next unit.
The Station ID for First Stage unit is 01; the ID for the Second Stage unit is
02, etc.
3. After all the PN0108s are up, power on the devices.
