redsea300 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 So I just need to purchase 2 more of them and run each one independent from the computer? Or can I daisy chain them together?ThanksDon C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-klb- Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Each USB-485B needs to plug into either the computer, or a USB hub plugged into the computer. Each one will get its own COM port number, which you configure into the network preferences tab. Then you also set the preference to display the network ID in the channel properties grid, so you can assign each controller and channel to the right network.

Gary Blair Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Does this mean that if you use Light Linkers you will need additional pairs for the new networks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsea300 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I looked on the property grid section. The network tab does not open. Will it open once I have multiple usb's attached. Also how should I break it all up. 405 channels, 12 ccr's and 8 lor floods?Thanks for all the help.Don C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a second network just because you have ELL's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbzeus Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 At what point do you need to consider multible USBs? I now have 240 channels plus two CCR.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
