Frames
If you have older FR6802+QXF, FR6802+XF, and/or FR6802+DM frames that contain
low-end resource modules, you can chain them to an FR6822+QXFE frame to create a
communication network.
By chaining three of these older frames to the FR6822+QXFE frame and connecting them
to the Ethernet network, you can monitor and control all four frames and their installed
devices.
To create a 6800+ communication control network, follow these steps:
1 Connect one FR6802+XF, FR6802+DM, or FR6822+ frame to a FR6822+QXFE frame by
using a customer-supplied BNC coaxial cable.
Connect each end of a BNC cable to the Communication loop through of each frame’s
rear panel. These BNCs have input and output functions.

2 Repeat this coaxial cable connection between other FR6802+XF, FR6802+DM, and
FR6802+QXF frames until all frames (up to a maximum of four) are connected to each
other.
Note: When connecting frames for control via 6800+ETH, no other frames in the chain
should contain a 6800+ETH or an ICE6800+. If they do, the connection will fail.
Figure 2-16 shows a typical system configuration for FR6822+ frames.
