Installation Daisy Chaining To control even more computers, up to 31 Master View ACS-1208A / ACS1216A units can be daisy chained down from the CL-1208 / CL-1216. Note: It would be unnecessarily wasteful and expensive to use CL-1208 / CL1216 switches for daisy chaining since there is no point in having consoles on the chained switches. Therefore, ACS-1208A and ACS1216A switches are used instead.
