Chaining an EX3210 Exciter
To connect the EX3210 Exciter to the EX5100 Exciter, follow these steps:
1. The EX5100 Exciter in the chain that’s directly connected to the PoE/LAN is
called the “master”. The EX3210 Exciter is also a “master”. Each Exciter has its
own ID.
2. Configure the EX3210 Exciter as not connected to the network.
3. Connect the EX3210 Exciter to the Chain Out connector of the EX5100 Exciter.
Power Connection Considerations
As mentioned earlier, an external power supply or AC/DC adaptor can support up
to three chained Exciters, and a PoE connection can support one Exciter. In order to
chain more Exciters than the currently connected power supply can feed, an
additional power supply element can be added using a junction box.
Figure 9: Junction box
1. Connect the junction box to its power supply.
2. Connect the last of the currently connected slave’s OUT to the junction box’s IN.
3. Connect the junction box’s OUT to the next slave’s IN.
4. Connect subsequent slaves to each other as explained above.
If necessary, you can use more than one junction box to supply more power along
the chain.
