Input Modules can be substituted in the example above. Console
interface cards such as the Y1 or those offered by third‑party
manufacturers can be substituted for input modules shown in the
diagrams.
To use other configurations, simply move any pair of input and output
modules. In the following example, the devices connected to port D on the
System Bridge have been swapped to create a 48 x 16 system.

A 48 x 16 system is created by exchanging the units connected to port D on
the System Bridge.
Remember, the total cable length between A‑Net devices should not exceed
500 feet, 150 meters. Cables used to connect A‑Net devices to the System
Bridge are included in this calculation.
