Step 11 Daisy Chaining
To manage more devices, up to 5 additional IP Power Manager R can be daisy chained to
the first unit. Follow instructions below to set up a daisy chained installation.
1. For each IP Power Manager that you add to the chain, use USB cables to connect it to the
parent IP Power Manager’s C-Link Port. The upper C-Link port( ) of child IP Power
Manager is connected to lower C-Link port( ) of its parent IP Power Manager and the lower
C-Link port( ) of the lowest level IP Power Manager is connected to the highest level
parent’s upper C-Link port( ) to form a cyclic(ring) structure as illustrated in the following
figure.
2. The daisy chained installation can operate in Auto mode or Manual mode. Use
Daisy-chaining Mode DIP Switch (C-link DIP) to set the operation mode.
Auto mode: For the master IP Power Manager, set all the DIP switches of the C- link to ON
by moving all the switches downward; for all the other IP Power Manager in the Daisy Chain,
set all the DIP switches of the C- link to OFF by moving all the switches upward. After setting
the DIP switches for all the IP Power Managers in the Daisy Chain, the Daisy Chain ID can be
assigned for each IP Power Manager automatically.
