Daisy-chained Configuration
In a daisy-chained configuration, multiple slave PMs are connected to one
another and managed by a single master PM. The PMs are linked together
with RJ-45 cables connected to one PMs OUT port and the other PM’s IN
port. This example shows four AlterPath PMs operating in a daisy-chained
environment. PM #1 is connected to the local work station and is the “master”
PM, while the other three PMs are “slaves.”
