3754.0. "Can a TL822 master become a slave?" by SANITY::LEMONS (And we thank you for your support.) Thu May 15 1997 21:54

    Hi
    
    I have two TL822-BA (master) units.  I may need to connect them
    together.  Can a -BA master be used as a -AC (slave)?  If so, is any
    special hardware/instructions needed?
    
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can. Just disconnect MUC the slave unit doesn't need MUC, and
    connect serial cable to unit 1 of the master unit (LUN 1 for the MUC).
    
    See manual for multiple units config.

    Hi Tran
    
    Which manual(s) should we be looking at to plan and execute the
    connection of a slave to a master?  The 'Facilities Planning &
    Installation Guide'?  The 'Service Guide'?  Other?
    
    Thanks!

    On p.4-25 of the 'TL82X Facilities Planning & Installation Guide', I
    read:
    
    	"If you have multiple units attached to one another, you must
    	cable each of them to the MUC.  The required cabling is in the
    	Cabinet-to-Cabinet Attachment Kit (P/N 6205016) and is purchased
    	separately"
    
    To my knowledge, I haven't ordered this kit.  Must I have this, in
    order to attach two towers together?  If so, what should I be ordering?
    
    On the same page, I also read:
    
    	"Refer to Document 6207127, 'TL82X Cabinet to Cabinet Mounting
    	Instructions', for instructions on how to mount to cabinets for
    	a multi-unit configuration."
    
    That isn't a Digital document part number; where can I find/order it?
    
    Thanks!

    If you wan tot convert master to slave you have to order cab-to-cab kit
    from ATL. In there, there is a document which is not a DIGITAL p/n. If
    you order TL82x-AC or TL893/896-AC you will get the kit.

    Uh oh.  Your response in .1 led me to believe I had all the stuff I
    needed.  Please let me know ASAP what I need to order and how.
    
    Thanks!
