4.3 HOW TO SET UP A MASTERBUS
NETWORK
Each device that is suitable for the MasterBus network is
equipped with two data ports. When two or more devices
are connected to each other through these ports, they
form a local data network, called the MasterBus.
Keep the following rules in mind:
Do not make T-connections in the network
Do not make ring networks
The electric power for the network comes from the
connected devices.
At least one device in the network should have
powering capabilities (see specifications).
One powering device can power up to three non-
powering devices.
As all powering devices are galvanically isolated,
multiple powering devices are allowed
OK
As with all high speed data networks, MasterBus
needs a terminating device on both ends of the
network

Connections between the devices are made by
standard straight UTP patch cables. Mastervolt can
supply these cables. These cables are also commonly
available at computer supply stores.
