Cascading
To centrally control up to 4 CM1284/CM1164A units (16 computers/video
sources) from a CM1284 unit, cascade 4 additional CM1284/CM1164A units
to the primary CM1284. As many as 16 computers/video source devices can be
controlled from a single CM1284 console in a complete cascade installation.
To set up a cascade installation, make sure that the power to all devices has
been turned off, and then do the following:
1. Connect the console ports of a secondary CM1284/CM1164A to any set of
the KVM Ports on the primary CM1284 using the provided KVM cables.
Note: Make sure to connect the Console HDMI Port 1 of the secondary
CM1284 instead of its Port 2 to the primary CM1284 to be able to
display multi-view modes.
2. To cascade another CM1284, repeat step 1.
3. Connect the secondary CM1284/CM1164A units with computers/video
sources. For detailed steps, see Single Station Installation, page 21.
4. Connect the primary CM1284 with a USB keyboard and a USB mouse.
5. Power up the installed CM1284/CM1164A units. After all the stations are
up, power on the connected computers/video source devices.
Note: Make sure the computers and devices that the CM1284/CM1164A
connects to are also properly grounded.
6. Change the installation setting from Daisy Chain to Cascade in the OSD
Menu (Advanced > Expansion).
7. Each secondary CM1284/CM1164A unit is recognized as an input source
(port 1 ~ 4) to the primary CM1284. To only display the sources of a
particular secondary CM1284/CM1164A, use any of the following
methods:
Press the corresponding front-panel port pushbutton
Press the corresponding port button on the IR remote control
