Remote Control switch can have 8-port and 4-port Slaves, and so on.
For example, the 16-port unit can support 136 computers, with 8 16-
port Slave KVMs, each connected to 16 computers. The Slave KVMs
must be connected to the PC 1~8 ports, not the A~H ports.

When turning on your cascaded switches, turn on the Slave switches
prior to turning on the Master switch.
