Cascade – Expansion for KVM Switches with Cat5/6 ports
Cascade up to seven additional Analog KVM Switches with Cat 5/6 ports to connect up to 128 or
256 servers through a single set of peripherals, a single remote terminal or IP address. The
Cascade Cable for KVM Switches with Cat 5/6 ports (P/N 37208-165) attaches between the
cascade ports on the switches. Equipment is accessed through consoles on the first switch. The
local, remote and IP connections on cascaded switches are not used.
Note: All switches are accessed through the local, remote and IP consoles on the first switch. The diagram
above shows IP KVM Switch P/N 37207-420, which has two IP consoles, as the first switch and P/Ns
37210-220 and 37210-260, which do not have IP consoles, as expansion switches. You may also use P/N
37207-360, which has one IP console, or either of the expansion switches as the first switch. All computers
are accessed through the consoles on the first switch, so be sure to select a switch with the correct number
of IP consoles as the first switch.
Do not mix switches with DB15 and Cat 5/6 ports. These switches have different expansion connections
and use different cacade cables.
