Pump Configuration

Chain Pumps - Fleet Package Only

To enable chain activation, put all pumps to be on a chain in the same cluster. Set any readers
you are using to activate chains to cluster zero.

A chain has one or more master pumps. To make a pump a chain master, it must be a pump
type with option #22 set. A chain is started when a master pump is authorized. A master pump
will not be authorized if any pumps in the cluster are currently pumping. All pumps in the
cluster except other master pumps will be activated.

If a slave pump does not pulse during its transaction, its NQN counter will not be incremented.
If a master pump is authorized with a transaction type that does not support chaining, just the
master pump will pump.

Allocation and MPG checks are only performed for the master pump.
