NexSys v. 3.0 Crest Audio Inc.
A NexSys Network with CK family amplifiers and hubs
While a node itself can only be set with a single address, NexSys may report its address with
multiple levels or tiers. This is because multiple NexSys networks may be interconnected
using NexSys hubs or because data-concentrating devices (such as Supervisors) may reside
on the network.
Loosely defined, a bus represents a group of nodes connected together via twisted pair
cable, with a terminating resistor at each end. that are not separated by a hub. The group of
all busses that are interconnected via hubs is referred to as the network.
