Installing Expansion Units
To expand your XP4000 system beyond the confines of a single unit, you will
need to integrate transmitter and receiver boards into your system.
Connecting a transmitter in one unit to a receiver in another unit lets you
combine multiple XP4000 Series units into one system. Transmitters allow
the computers attached to one unit to transmit their signal to user consoles
attached to another unit. Receivers allow user consoles to receive the signal
from computers attached to another unit. Accessing computers or user consoles
within the same box does not require a transmitter or receiver. See below.
Transmitters are attached to receivers via an expansion cable. This cable may
be between 3' and 250' long. Two ports are available on each transmitter and
receiver to connect expansion cables between them.
