3240S System Applications
The 3240S can operate in Point-to-Point or Master/Slave Ring applications.
In a Point-to-Point application, the multiplexer is an extension of the computer port that connects two
points on a one-to-one basis; see Figure 3. Use the point-to-point application for either a managed or
a non-managed 3240S.
Figure 3. Typical Point-to-Point Application
In a Master/Slave Ring application, one multiplexer is designated as the master; it supplies the clock
to the slave units; see Figure 4. Use the master/slave ring application with a non-managed 3240S.
Note:
The SNMP Module supports only local status and control for Master/Slave Ring applications.
