WS Hardware Setup
Use the provided duplex fiber optic patch cables (orange) to connect the WS's
factory installed, Optibit optical interface card to a TDT processor device. The fiber
optic ports on each device and the patch cables are color-coded and use key and
notch connectors to ensure correct wiring.
Connecting Multiple Devices
Multiple processors (or other interface-dependent devices mounted in a zBus
chassis) can be connected to the WS's Optibit interface in a communications loop.
The most common configuration consists of multiple RZ devices, such as multiple
RZ2s used for processing higher-channel counts. The strands of the duplex cable
can be separated as needed to make the required connections. See the diagrams
below for additional configurations.
