Chapter 2: Run the Cables 10
Optional Network Cable (DNC)
The DNC cable is used in Type A, Type B and Type C systems.
The Duo system is designed to have a stand alone basic scoring functionality, without the need to connect any
computers at all. However, if you wish to control the lanes from a computer on the front counter, you will need to
connect the Network Cable. (DNC) This cable is shown here in Blue. This optional CAT5e or Cat 6 cable will allow
the Duo system to interface with the Center Command software suite and allow you to fully control your systems
functions including several optional software modules such as Point of Sale, League Secretarial and System
Management. See Chapter 10 for more information on setting up your computers and printers for use with the Duo
Scoring System.
The DNC Cable is run from the Duo CPU module forward to a convenient place where a Gigabit (1000Mbit)
network switch for all lanes is located. A second switch or a router can then be placed near the optional system
management computers so that just a single cable need be run from the office to the lanes area.
