Connecting the ICIM to Additional
Chassis
Chassis-to-Chassis ICIM Connections
 The Prisma II platform allows the ICIM to be
located in one chassis and control modules
located in several other chassis. This
communication “daisy-chain” can be enabled
by connecting cables to the ICIM IN and ICIM
OUT. This connection is required if an ICIM in
one chassis is to communicate with or control
any module located in a separate chassis.
 Note: An ICIM can control up to 140 modules
6 to 7 chassis, typical deployment 3 to 4
chassis per ICIM.
