Right now in the Productivity software you can drag 'n drop different chassis into remote units and select the remote slave you are using in the chassis. However you cannot be using a P3000, and add in a remote P2000 this way. You can only select other systems of the same type you have as your main base chassis. Since the platforms are extremely similar, support should be added so that you can mix the two models in a system and have remote units be whatever model of Productivity you want. { "alt ": "Click image for larger version Name:\tdragndrop.png Views:\t1 Size:\t33.2 KB ID:\t107022 ", "data-align ": "none ", "data-attachmentid ": "107022 ", "data-size ": "full "} Also, could you add a 15 slot base for the P3000's? Sure it would take up a lot of width, but it would be nice to be able to have more high speed output capabilities on the 3000 platform

This would be a great feature to add at the same time as adding the capability of opening the remote io enet port to other systems.
