3.3 HOW TO SET UP A MASTERBUS
NETWORK
Every device that is suitable for the MasterBus
network is equipped with two data ports. When two
or more devices are connected using these ports,
together they form a local data network, called the
MasterBus.
Keep the following rules in mind:
Connections between the devices are made by
standard straight MasterBus cables. Mastervolt
can supply these cables. These cables are also
commonly available at computer supply stores.

The electric power for the network comes from
the connected devices.
At least one device in the network should have
powering capabilities (see specifications).
One powering device can power up to three non-
powering devices.
As all powering devices are galvanically isolated,
multiple powering devices are allowed.
