prop-1 / RC-4 question

Hi, I am trying to hook up three RC-4 boards to my prop-1 controller to run a light show. Where do I hook the cables at on the prop-1 and where do they connect on the RC-4 boards to link them all together?

This illustration should help:




Notes:
-- remove the Prop-1's ULN2803A; replace with ULN2003A as shown (leave top socket pins open)
-- each accessory has two sets of serial headers; either can be in or out (they're the same electrically)
-- when mixing the RC-4 with other devices, the RC-4(s) must come first in the chain as they get power from the Prop-1 or Prop-2
-- for the Prop-1 with 2400 baud, remove the Baud (sometimes labeled B/R) jumper from all devices
-- when using multiple devices of the same type (e.g., four RC-4s) you must set the address jumpers differently on each device of the same type


Address     A1     A0
%00 (0) out out
%01 (1) out in 
%10 (2) in  out
%11 (3) in  in
