                                 Cascaded Devices

 

 

Administrators can connect up to 32 KVM units to the master KVM/net. Each 
cascaded KVM device has two management ports that can be connected to the 
primary KVM/net. 

Note: You must connect the master KVM/net’ KVM port to User 2 on the slave. 

Optionally, you can add a second connection to User 1 on the slave by using a 
terminator. If a KVM Expander is used then User A or User B management 
ports on the KVM Expander can be used. 

Note: In a cascaded configuration, the internal IP modules of the cascaded units are 

not available.

The following table indicates which ports on each cascaded device can be 
used for cascading and which cables need to be used in order to connect them.
