8.1.3 Linking three Main Stations in a daisy chain
You can daisy chain stations following all the instructions of the previous sections using the
second port on one of the HLI-ET2 or HLI-FBS module to connect to a third station. Then
enable linking on the third station. The advantage of daisy chain is that it does not require any
additional equipment for interconnection. The disadvantage is that if you disconnect or power
down a station in the middle it will break the chain and prevent audio from prevent audio from
passing between the units either side of the break.
You can also mix Ethernet and Fiber in the chain using an additional slot in a station in the
middle of the chain.
Alternatively, you can save a slot by using an HLI-FBS module in the middle station,
populating one port with a fiber SFP transceiver and one port with a 10/100Base-T electrical
SFP transceiver.
