4.3.10 Cascading
For applications exceeding the number of available ports, the system can
be extended by cascading.
In this case, the Draco major devices are connected by so-called "tie
lines". The tie lines are dynamically configured to support connections in
both directions.
To access cascaded matrices from a console, one of the matrices has to
be configured as sub matrix (see Chapter 5.3.1, Page 67).
