Configuring the Master Hub
In a multi-Hub installation, the first UDM Hub in the chain must be configured through the Hub’s built-
in WebConsole as a Master Hub. Subsequent Hubs in the chain should be configured as Target (or
"slave") Hubs. Each system can have only one Master Hub, and in theory there is no limit to the amount
of cascaded (Target) Hubs allowed.
To configure a Hub as the Master Hub in a Cascaded system;
1. In the WebConsole, click on the Setup option.
2. Click on the Cascade master option (FIG. 111).
The "Master" Hub refers to the first Hub in a cascaded chain. All other (downstream)
hubs are considered to be "Target" (or "slave") Hubs.
For all new installations, the recommended method for video distribution uses Solecis
Distribution Amplifiers, rather than the CASCADE IN/OUT Ports (see the Distributing
Video - Using Cascade Kits section on page 79).
See the Configuration section on page 25 for details on the WebConsole.
