Connecting Master and Slave Towers
The Microboards DVD Premium Pro NET tower line requires a physical connection between the
towers. A tower will be designated as a Master or as a Slave tower initially based solely on the
configuration of the connection.
The directions below give 2 connection scenarios: a 2-tower configuration, and a Multi-Tower
configuration. Please use the appropriate instructions based on the number of towers you have.
The diagrams below show the backs of the towers.
For the 2-Tower configuration, connect the OUT port of
one tower to the IN port of the other using the provided
cabling. Whichever tower is connected by the OUT
port will become the Master tower. The tower that is
connected by the IN port other will become the Slave
tower.
Once the towers are turned on and initialized, press
YES
on the Master tower to enter NET mode.
For Stand-alone operation, press NO on both the
Master and Slave when the configuration display is
showing. Each tower will then operate as an
independent tower.
To return to NET mode, you will need to restart both
towers.
For Multi-Tower configuration (3 towers
are shown here), select one tower as
the Master and connect one end of one
of the provided cables to the OUT port
on the Master tower and the other end
to the IN port on Slave Tower One.
Plug the next cable to the OUT port of
Slave Tower One and to the IN port of
Slave Tower Two.
If you have more than 3 towers,
continue to connect the remaining
towers in the same fashion. The last
tower will only have a cable connected
to the IN port.
Once the Master and Slave towers
have initialized, the displays will give
you the configuration options.
