Appendix D: Two-Tier System 
 
86
 
 
Overview 
When you connect one MCCAT switch or more to a TMCAT17 switch, you 
are organizing a "two-tier" system. 
All MCCAT switches connected to the same TMCAT17 switch are the 
SECOND-TIER devices, and the TMCAT17 switch that connects these 
second-tier devices is the "base switch," belonging to the FIRST TIER. 
You can connect computers to any channel ports available in the system, 
including channel ports on the base switch. 
Note: In a two-tier system, all front panel buttons on the second-tier 
MCCAT switches are automatically disabled.
