Two-Tier Configuration
You may cascade MasterConsole II units to create a two-tier configura-
tion. In a two-tier configuration, a mix of devices-computers and
MasterConsoles-may be connected to the channels of the first tier-
referred to as the base MasterConsole II.
See Figure 12.
The second-tier MasterConsole may be any combination of MasterConsole IIs,
or MasterConsole P Models, which may be banked. Only computers may be
connected to the channels of the any second-tier MasterConsole.
