======Connecting modules to the 52/XS Core======

The control modules and I/O boxes have to be connected to the APC ports of the 52/XS Cores 52-18xx. It is important to connect the peripheral modules to the correct APC port. 

<WRAP center round important 80%>
**Important**\\  Use always shielded CAT5 or CAT6 ethernet cables (at least S/UTP, F/UTP or SF/UTP) to connect these modules to the XS core.

In the following table you can find the assignment of the control modules, I/O boxes, DeviceLinks and TFT/Touch displays to the APC ports. 

^Name of the APC port^52-1810^52-1830^
|APC 1|TFT/touch display (52-4018)((APC port 1 can be used as port for I/O box or DeviceLink if PC TFT View Software is used instead of TFT module.))|TFT/touch display (52-4018)((APC port 1 can be used as port for I/O box or DeviceLink if PC TFT View Software is used instead of TFT module.))|

Because of this, for example a 12 fader mixing console with three I/O boxes or a 16 fader mixing console with two I/O boxes are the maximum configurations for a 52/SX.))|n. a.|
