CHAPTER 3: Installation and Preconfiguration
3.4.3.B Split Bus
With daisychained 4-User models, you can use a split bus arrangement if you have
two users on one ServSwitch Affinity and one or two users on another. Because
each Expansion Cable carries signals for two user stations, one set of cables can
carry a video bus in one direction (toward one pair of users) while the other set of
cables carries a video bus in another direction (toward the other pair).
Figure 3-8 shows a “traditional” split bus with the pairs of users at opposite
physical ends of the daisychain. Figure 3-9 shows a split bus cabled to place a
“logical end” of the daisychain on unit 2.
