Daisy chaining your decoder units
You can daisy chain the network connections for your decoder units by connecting one decoder to
another.
When daisy chaining decoders, consider the following:
 For daisy chaining to work from one decoder to another, a decoder must be powered. If
power is lost, the connection to the next decoder is also lost.
 When daisy chaining network connections, the maximum number of decoders
connected together is ten (10). Depending on your hardware and network settings, the
number of decoders you can daisy chain on the same network jack may be lower.
Resetting your unit
To reset a Decoder or Encoder unit, press and hold the Reset button on your unit with the tip of a
paper clip:
 Reboot – Holding for less than 2 seconds reboots your unit and keeps your settings. This
keeps all your unit settings, including the IP address and password.
 Factory reset – Holding for more than 5 seconds (until the LED turns amber) reboots
your unit and restores the factory settings. This
resets all unit settings, including the IP
address and password.
