Some characteristics of a multiple Controller network are as follows:
• Each Controller in the network provides control for one station
with up to two channels.
• A hub connects each Controller in the network to the supervising
PC.
• A single network may have a maximum of four stations
(regardless of the number of Controllers cabled to the hub).
• When used in a network, Controllers must be registered for
automation and operate in the automation mode.
• Each Controller in the network must have a unique ID and name.
For more information about setting up multiple controller networks for
FlexTest SE Controllers, see Appendix D, Using Multiple Automated
Controllers in the FlexTest SE User's Manual.
