Daisy-Chained Host Adapters
Up to 64 CPUs can be connected in a daisy-chain to a create a segment of CPUs controlled by a single user from a User Station. (A
"segment" is a User Station connected to 1 or more Host Adapters) The first Host Adapter is connected to the User Station via the "OUT"
port. Additional Host Adapters in the segment will have CAT5 cable connected from their "OUT" port to another Host Adapter's "IN" port
to enable communications between the user and each CPU in the system (see the illustration on the next page). A Terminating Plug must
be installed in the "IN" port of the last Host Adapter in the segment.
