Installing a Repeater in a Daisy-Chain
Configuration
This section describes how to install and configure a repeater in a sequential
(daisy-chain) configuration. In this configuration, one repeater connects to a
second repeater instead of connecting directly to the base. When installing
repeaters in a daisy chain, remember the following rules:
• Each base unit supports a total of six repeaters.
• Each repeater supports two direct connections to other repeaters.
• No repeater can be more than three connections or "hops" from the base
unit.
You must have a repeater configuration programming kit to set up
the daisy-chain configuration.
The following figures show sample layouts of different daisy-chain
configurations. In these figures, the repeater designated as Repeater N (M, O,
etc.) is always directly connected to the base unit (that is, one hop from the base
unit). (See
Figure
(two hops), and Repeater N1a is connected off of Repeater N1 (three hops).
