DX2 Sensor Packages
You can cascade up to 12 DX2 sensor packages.
When cascading DX2, remember that the PX3TS only supports a maximum of
32 sensors and/or actuators.
If there are more than 32 sensors and/or actuators connected, every sensor
and/or actuator after the 32nd one is NOT managed by the PX3TS.
Tip: To manage the last several sensors/actuators after 32nd function, you can
release some "managed" sensors or actuators, and then manually bring the last
several sensors/actuators into management. See

end of a DX2 sensor package.

Connect DX2 to the PX3TS:
1.
Connect a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher) to either RJ-45
port on a DX2 sensor package.
2.
If you want to cascade DX2 packages, get an additional standard network
patch cable (CAT5e or higher) and then:
a.
Plug one end of the cable into the remaining RJ-45 port on the prior
DX2 package.
b. Plug the other end into either RJ-45 port on an additional DX2
package.
Repeat the same steps to cascade more DX2 packages.
