4.3. Connecting Multiple Switches
You can configure the serial ports to operate as daisy-chained ports. Daisy-chaining switches
allows one computer or terminal to communicate with up to 32 I
NTELLA P ATCH switches.
You can use the LAN ports to connect any number of switches without using a hub or wall
jack.You cannot, however, mix serial and LAN port connections in a single chain.
4.3.1. Connecting Multiple Switches with Serial Ports
C ONTROL X recognizes from 1 to 32 I NTELLA P ATCH switches when daisy-chained. If you plan to
use multiple switches daisy-chained together, you must first assign a unique device number
to each switch. To do so:
1. Connect the second switch to the host computer using the switch’s COM1 port and a
standard 9-pin straight-through serial cable. (The first switch already has its device
number set to 1 by default.)
2. On the host computer, start C ONTROL X.
3. Select File>Connect. The Login dialog displays:

4. Click the Serial Connection radio button. Leave the field set to 1 for the COM1 port
(or change to the specific COM port number of your workstation).
5. Click the OK button.
