Daisy chain
The IP stations have a built-in two port switch. The ’AUX’ port can be used to connect a second IP station, and to the ’AUX’port of the second station can be connected to a third station. Up to 10 IP stations can be daisy chained in this way.

Loop configuration, using the spanning tree protocol
- Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in the network. For an Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between two stations.
- To provide path redundancy, STP defines a tree that spans all switches in an extended network. STP forces certain redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If one network segment in the Spanning-Tree Protocol becomes unreachable, or if STP costs change, the spanning-tree algorithm reconfigures the spanning-tree topology and reestablishes the link by activating the standby path
