2 From each of the Principle Extension Unit’s eight ports, connect up to eight
dependent controllers IN ports as shown in Figure A-10.
Figure A-10. Connecting SmartBits Chassis to an Extension Unit
Note: In this example, we are using a 3-foot cable to connect the Primary Controller to
the Principle Extension Unit. Each cable that connects the extension unit to the next
SmartBits chassis may vary in length and can be any variable under 47 feet (50 - 3 = 47) in
length (14.33 meters).
3 You can connect another extension unit to the Principle Extension Unit by connecting
a cable from the OUT expansion port of the Principle Extension Unit to the IN port of
the Subordinate Extension Unit as shown in Figure A-11. You may continue adding
extension units and chassis until you reach 512 chassis.
