Dual Root Cascading
Dual Root cascading allows switches to be added to your Dual Root Master and
Slave setup to support additional KVM Ports.
Before setting up switches in a Dual Root Cascade, you must first set up the
Dual Root Master and Dual Root Slave Switches that make up Layer 1
(
See Dual Root, page 48 for details).
Switches cascaded from Layer 1 of a Dual Root setup must have 4 connections
from both the Dual Root Master Switch (A) and the Dual Root Slave Switch
(B).
The Cat 5e UTP Cable connections are as follows: (4) KVM Ports from A & B
to (4) Console Ports, on each switch respectively. Dual Root cascading can
accommodate up to 8 KM0532/KM0932 Switches. To install switches in a
Dual Root Cascade, use the diagrams that follow:
Note: Daisy Chain Connections will not work in a Dual Root Setup.
