Scoring network BES X Installation Manual, Rev.9, Jun 2018

5.4 - Centers with more than 68 lanes or split-house
If the bowling center has more than 68 lanes additional scoring network switches that act as slaves are
needed.
QubicaAMF will supply one 16 port network switch to be used as main scoring network switch in the place
of an eight port network switch.
The lanes’ groups must be equally balanced in homogeneous groups. QubicaAMF supplies the additional
switches and the network cables.
The connections for the main scoring network switch are:
1 port for the home-run cable;
1 port for the MMS switch;
1 port for the Q-DAC switch;
13 ports for the slave scoring network switches.
Always connect the Single channel video server to a slave scoring network switch, so the slave switch where
the Single channel video server is connected must never exceed the number of 12 lanes (six 4HD/5HD-HUB
units) connected, while the maximum number of lanes for the other four slave switches is 14 (seven
4HD/5HD-HUB units) connected.
When multiple switches are involved it is mandatory not to connect any 4HD/5HD-HUB directly to the main
scoring network switch. Between each 4HD/5HD-HUB and the Front Desk PC there must always be the
same number of switches, and these switches must never exceed the number of two (refer to table
T.20.095).
The 4HD/5HD-HUB units have to be connected to the slave scoring network switch via standard patch
network cables. Refer to tables T.20.079 and T.20.096 for standard installations or to table T.20.082 if XLi
pinspotters with safety kit are present for the correct patch cables’ length.
Example: a bowling center with 100 lanes. QubicaAMF supplies the main scoring network switch (16 port
network switch), the eight additional switches, one kit of cables for a 12 lanes center, six kits of cables for a
14 lanes canter and one kit for a 2 lanes center, the cables needed to connect the slave scoring network
switches to the main scoring network switch (one 50 feet – 30m. patch network cable each slave scoring
network switch), one Cat.5e 300 feet – 100m solid cable coil and two Cat.5e wall mounting boxes for: the
main scoring network, the MMS, the Q-DAC switches and the single channel video server.
The slave switches must be connected to the main scoring network switch in UPLINK mode. UPLINK mode is
automatically set in switches supplied by QubicaAMF, other switches may need a manual setting.
QubicaAMF suggests the installation of a cable conduit along the whole length of the curtain wall, to
accommodate the network and the audio-video cables.
