Daisy Chain:
Daisy Chain is used for linking mulple registers together to use one printer or modem to link mulple registers to the
database.
To Daisy Chain the Registers use a two wire 22 gauge shielded cable. Nominate one Register to be the Host.
Once you’ve chosen which Register will be the Host the other Registers will be considered the clients. Run the 22
guage wire from slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN on the Host Unit to slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN on the Client Unit.
To e the Client to the next Client unit on the Daisy Chain, run the 22 gauge wire from slot A and B of DAISY CHAIN to
slot A and B of the next client’s DAISY CHAIN.
