Page 19: Cco Settings
If this Flowire unit fails, the star configuration will not function in any case, whether or not it is the CCo, as all other Flowire units are routed through it. In order for the FCDC3 in the rack to be configured as a CCo, it is necessary to set the device-side Flowire units to not CCo. - Page 20 Having more than 50 Flowire units in one multicluster group should also be avoided. L To avoid exceeding the limit of clusters or devices in a multicluster group sufficient physical separation should be implemented between the Flowires installed on the systems side. Figure 11 Multicluster Groups A100K11958 FCDC3 Flowire Converter Configuration Manual...
- Page 21 Interference issues are more likely to occur the more stations from other clusters that are visible. In order to reduce the number of stations associated in a multicluster group the signal output power can be reduced. There is an option for reducing signal power in the web interface. A100K11958 FCDC3 Flowire Converter Configuration Manual...
- Page 22 The available options for adjusting signal strength are -5, -10, -15 and -20 dB. The effect of reducing the power should then be seen as the number of unassociated devices go down. Do not reduce the power so much that the connection to assiciated devices is lost. A100K11958 FCDC3 Flowire Converter Configuration Manual...
