Important points regarding FRAME LINK2
- This product is only compatible with the DS-3200 (current model). The DS-3100 (older model) is not compatible.
- The inter-chassis connection box (DS-0394) is absolutely necessary.
- The DS-3200 (main unit) needs to be equipped with an inter-chassis connection interface (DS-0392A).
- Commercially available USB hubs cannot be used. You must use the enclosure-to-enclosure USB hub (DS-0393).
- A license for the DS-0321A (FFT analysis function) software is required. DS-0321 will not operate on its own. ●Operates in FFT-A analysis mode. It will not operate in any other mode.
- ●It is also possible to connect multiple enclosures and a PC directly via USB without using the inter-enclosure USB hub (DS-0393).
- It is not possible to use inter-chassis interface cables of different lengths together.
