T To Daisy-Chain AlterPath PMs to the CS
This procedure assumes that you have one AlterPath PM connected to a serial
port on the CS.
1. Connect one end of a UTP cable with RJ-45 connectors to the “OUT” port
of the AlterPath PM that is connected to the serial port on CS.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the “IN” port of the next AlterPath
PM.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until you have connected the desired number of
AlterPath PMs.
