Introduction
The UP-3500 inter-register communication (IRC) system consists of one master machine and up to 31
satellite machines which are all interconnected by the local area network (LAN) to provide data transmission
among them. This system allows the manager to exercise centralized control over the satellites through the
master.

• One of the satellites may be used as a back-up master.
The additional RAM board, UP-S04MB2, must be installed in the master and, if possible, in each
