Guest guest Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 where do you plug controllers 5 and 10 into? You've, of course, got two RJ45s to work with, and two cables in and out of 1,2,3,4, and 6.Are you thinking you do some sort of duplex adapter?Don't believe you can do it that way, would think you either need the two on a second network, or put an ELL at the end of your main line of controllers, and remote numbers 5 and 10.

A conventional Cat5 splitter won't work.Another option would be a second network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 one more question do the controllers have to be plugged in order or can I hook up contoller #1 from my computer then go from #1 to # 3 then all the way to #10 then from #10 to #2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 any order you want mine go from the ELL to controller 3 on one port and 4 on the other then they travel two diffrent directions one goes to unit 1 the other goes to unit 2 and 5 it does not matter what order the controllers are in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
