Cascading multiple units
The ServSwitch CX (with IP) units 
support up to sixteen or twenty 
four directly connected server 
systems, however, this is by no 
means the limit. Thanks to an 
intelligent communication system, 
called 
, many more 
server systems can be controlled 
by connecting other ServSwitch 
CX units. The combination of 
units can be arranged up to three 
levels deep forming a tree, or 
cascade arrangement, with server 
systems situated at any level 
within that cascade tree.
The maximum number of server 
systems that can be controlled 
within a cascade installation 
depends upon the ServSwitch CX 
unit placed at the top level. If the 
top level unit is a non-IP version, 
a maximum of 512 server systems 
can be controlled. However, if the 
top level unit is a ServSwitch CX 
with IP, the maximum number of 
servers drops to 128. This is due 
to the extra burden placed on the 
unit’s memory of administering 
global (IP) users.

The cascade tree
The diagram shows how multiple ServSwitch CX units can be 
cascaded up to three levels. Server systems can be connected at any 
level. Up to four users (local, remote or global) can simultaneously 
access server systems situated around the cascade tree.
