Daisy Chaining

To manage even more outlets from the same single session as a standalone eco

PDU, additional units can be daisy chained, as described in the following

configuration.

Note: The maximum distance between any two units must not exceed 15 m;

the total distance from the first station to the last must not exceed 100 m.

eco PDU to eco PDU

Up to 5 additional eco PDU stations can be daisy chained down from the top

level (master) device – allowing up to 120 outlets to be managed on a complete

installation. To daisy chain an eco PDU, do the following:

1. Set the RS-232/RS-485 switch (see page 14), of the child device to the RS-

232 setting.

2. Use Cat 5e cable to connect the PON OUT port of the parent device to the

PON IN port of the child device.

3. Repeat the procedure for any additional devices you wish to connect.
