Installation
XP4000 Unit
Placement
In order to successfully configure and install your expansion system, you will
need to address each of the following considerations:
1) XP4000 Series unit Placement
2) Computer/User Console Distribution
3) Transmitter/Receiver Board Configuration
4) Transmitter/Receiver Board and Expansion Cable Installation
There are two basic types of expansion configurations: star and daisy chain.
In the star configuration, each XP4000
Series unit added to the system branches
off from the original unit.
In the daisy chain configuration, each
XP4000 Series unit is attached linearly,
starting with the first unit in the system
and ending with the last attached unit.

As you configure your own system, keep these considerations in mind:
1) The maximum distance between a user and any accessible computer in
the system is 500 feet. If the maximum distance is exceeded, video quality
will be severely degraded.
2) The maximum number of units between a user and accessible computer
is four, inclusive of the units attached to the user console and computer.
If a user attempts to switch to a computer channel over four units away, the
system will remain on the current channel until a switch within four units
is initiated.
The star configuration is most
common and is the recommended
setup for most applications. For
systems operating at distances over
250 feet away or containing over
6 0
combination of star and daisy chain
is recommended. See Chapter 10,
Applications for details.
