Connecting to the Host
There are three ports on the bottom of the cradle.
COM 1 connects to the host computer; COM 2 is used for daisy-chaining multiple
cradles together; and, the Power Port supplies power to the cradle.
Daisy-Chaining
To daisy-chain two or more cradles together, connect COM 1 of the first cradle to
the host and COM 2 to COM 1 of the second cradle. Then connect COM 2 of the
second cradle to COM 1 of the third cradle. Up to 12 cradles can be daisy-chained
to one host.
NOTE
The cradle supports daisy-chaining when connected to a serial
host and not when using Synapse interfaces.
