Expand-D Connections
The following characteristics apply to Expand-D units connected to Remote RMX-
3200:
All connections from Remote RMX-3200 to Expand-D are via Ethernet.
Two external switched Ethernet ports are available for connections.
User devices can connect to the open Ethernet port on Expand-D.
Expand-D does not run the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on its Ethernet ports.
Important: Because Expand-D units do not run STP, users should never
network Expand-D units in an environment where Ethernet switching
loops can exist.
Expand-D Identification
Each Expand-D has a name that is defined in the following format:
DEP-XXXXXX
XXXXXX represent the low order 3 bytes of the peripheral’s MAC address (for example,
DEP-305E7D). DEP stands for Discrete Expansion Peripheral.
