Installation - Cascading units
The UltraView Pro units can be cascaded together to expand the number of
computers that can be accessed from the KVM station.
When cascading units, one unit becomes the “Master” unit and all others
are “Slave” units. Each computer port on the master unit can be connected
to a slaves KVM connector. Figure 9 illustrates the addition of two 8-port
slave units. Using 16 port units, the master unit can connect to 16 slave
units.
The UltraView Pro must be configured to properly manage the cascaded
units. The maximum number of computers, the number of slave units
connected, and the number of ports (width) on each slave unit must be
entered into the menu system and saved. In the example in Figure 9, the
maximum computer entry would be 22, the number of slave units is 2, and
the number of ports on each slave unit would be 8. It is recommended that
all slave units have the same number of computer ports.
It is only necessary for the “Master” unit to be equipped with an OSD.
Slave units can be an UltraView or ServeView product without an OSD. All
units should have the same or latest firmware revision.
