Using cascaded computers
In.use,.cascaded.computers.can.be.accessed.using.exactly.the.same.methods.as.
for.those.connected.directly.to.the.AdderView.CATx..However,.by.far.the.easiest.
way.is.to.use.the.on.screen.menu..This.is.because.it.displays.the.computer.
names.and.does.not.require.any.knowledge.of.port.addresses,.some.of.which.
(as.discussed.above).can.be.up.to.six.characters.long..See.the.
.section.in.the.Operation.chapter.for.more.details.
Testing specific links to cascaded computers
As.mentioned.previously,.the.best.and.most.efficient.way.to.access.cascaded.
computers.is.by.using.the.on.screen.menu.and.via.non-specific.routes.through.
the.link.groups..However,.during.configuration.or.troubleshooting,.it.may.be.
useful.to.test.specific.routes.to.computers.in.order.to.verify.the.various.strands.
of.each.link.group..By.using.specific.port.addresses.for.each.unit,.rather.than.
link.group.numbers,.you.can.precisely.navigate.a.route.through.any.part.of.the.
system.
To test a specific link
1. Simultaneously.press.and.hold.
.and.
.
Note:

clashes with other devices or software. If you change the hotkeys, remember 
to use the new ones in place of 
 and 
 when following these 
instructions. 
2. While.still.holding.
.and.
,.in.sequence,.press.and.release.the.full.
address.of.the.required.computer.–.remember.to.use.specific.port.numbers,.
not.link.group.addresses,.e.g..061802,.not.BE02.
3. When.the.last.digit.has.been.entered,.release.all.keys.
