About multiple
controller networks
Some characteristics of a multiple controller network are as follows:
• Each controller in the network provides control for one station with up to
two channels.
• A hub connects each controller in the network to the supervising PC.
• A single network may have a maximum of four stations (regardless of the
number of controllers cabled to the hub).
• When used in a network, controllers must be registered for automation and
operate in the automation mode.
• Each controller in the network must have a unique ID and name.
For more information about setting up multiple controller networks for FlexTest
SE Controllers, see Appendix D, Using Multiple Automated Controllers in the
FlexTest SE User’s Manual.
