Computer/
User Console
Distribution
Once you have mapped out your optimal unit configuration, you'll need to
determine the placement of computers and user consoles within your system.
As you plan, consider the following:
1) In order for an attached computer to transmit its signal to users outside its
own XP4000 Series unit, there must be a transmitter present in the unit.
(See below)
2) In order for a user to receive signals from attached computers outside
its own XP4000 Series unit, there must be a receiver present in the unit.
(See below)
3) Each expansion cable connection between a transmitter and receiver pair
utilizes one of the four available paths in each unit. You may have up to
four separate active channels per unit at any one time. See Figure 5-1.

In the above example, the user in Unit 1 has access to its own local computers,
plus the computers in Units 2 and 3 because a transmitter is present in Units
2 and 3 and a receiver is present in Unit 1.
The user in Unit 2 cannot reach the computers in Unit 1 because no transmitter
is present in Unit 1.
The user in Unit 3 has access to the local computers only, because there is no
receiver present in the unit.
