Physical Installation
When only two LPAs (one Master, one Slave) are required and there is no
requirement to
connect the Master/Slave group to an external network, a
two LPA interconnection cable may
be used to connect directly between
the Ethernet ports of the two LPAs.
All other cables (e.g. I/O cable) must be connected in the same way as the
standalone LPAs.
When more than two LPAs are to be connected together or connection to a
network is
required, a Printer Connection Box complete with ethernet
patch cables is required.
The Connection Box allows up to four LPAs (one Master and three Slaves)
to be connected
together, allowing them to share common encoder and
print signals as well as providing
ethernet connectivity via the integral
network switch (hub).
In addition to this, the connection box also allows the group of LPAs to be
connected to a
wider Ethernet network.
