dc4 and x10

[ReefLurker]

New question: I plan on having my Controller in the basement where my sump is located. I'll be connecting it to my computer on the frist floor with some Cat5. I'll also need (2x) DC4's in my basement sump room as well as a DC4 on the first floor to run my lighting. If I must daisy chain the DC4's, does this mean I will have to connect the DC4 on the first floor to the DC4 in the basement with an extension cord?
Thanks,
Jeff

Yes, the DC4s are daisy chained together through a telephone cord. The power for the two DC4s can be plugged into separate circuits.

ReefLurker,
I'm doing sort of what you described now. I have my ACIIIPro and two DC4's in the basement fish room with another two DC4HD's up on the first floor to controll all my lights. There is about 25ft of Cat6 cable between the basement and first floor DC4's and it is pretty reliable except now and again one of my lights will come on and go off all by itself. I think this is due to noise from one of the basement DC4's which controlls my heaters since they tend to switch on and off pretty often. I have both DC4's on the first floor set to the A channel but I'm thinking of setting one to another channel to see if that fixes my problem.
