I've read the docs a couple of times and am still having trouble getting my mind around how to use two M1DBH. The instructions are pretty clear when it comes to doing home runs from all devices, however, I'd like to have two "homes". The first is at the panel itself and the second is out in the garage where I plan to put a second can to hold a couple of input and output boards. The idea is to keep the wire runs down by putting the boards near where they will be used. This means that the two hubs will only have four or five devices each. The docs assume the first hub will be filled up with J9 going to J1 on the next.
So, what to do if the first hub is not filled up? I'd really like to have only one cat5 running between the two cans. Suggestions on how to power the devices in the other can would be helpful too. I'd guess that the cat5 can carry enough current for a few devices, but what if I need more?
Thanks!
