7.3 Configuring the primary and slave units

After connecting the cascaded DX Centrals you must configure them to be primary
or slave (secondary level) units.

To do so, connect a DX User to the each DX Central – primary and slave, as
explained above in section

4 on page 11. (Where you don’t have enough DX Users

for all the slaves, after configuring one slave connect the DX User to the next
slave.)

Power on the DX units in the following order:

1. Primary DX Central.

2. Slave/s DX Central(s).

3. The DX User connected to the primary DX Central.

The Configuration wizard appears on the DX User’s monitor, see Figure 18.
