Daisy Chain RS232 vs. Individual LAN Connections
The following table shows compares connecting large-screen displays individually via LAN vs. using an RS232 daisy
chain between displays:
Connection Method
Daisy Chain RS232 Individual LAN Connection
Operation Speed
Slower. Limited to one operation on one
display on the daisy chain at a time.
Faster. Simultaneous (parallel) operations to
each display (up to maximum limit set in the
application Preferences).
IP Addresses One IP address required for all displays. One IP address for each display.
Connectivity
Single RS232 cables daisy chained
between displays.
Individual LAN cable runs from each display to
a hub/switch/router.
Robustness
Failure or removal of one display or cable
will disrupt communications to all others
further along the daisy chain.
Failure of a display or cable will not impact
communications to other displays.
