A major difference between the newer workstation controllers and the older ones is the number of polling
groups. The older WSCs had one polling group for all eight ports. The newer WSCs have two polling groups.
Divide the twinax brick in two. Ports 0 through 3 make up one polling group, and ports 4 through 7 make up
the other polling group. The twinax brick detail illustrates a proper connection.
