Configuring The Master Hub - AMX UDM-1604C Operation/Reference Manual

Cascading Hubs

Configuring the Master Hub

The "Master" Hub refers to the first Hub in a cascaded chain. All other (downstream)
hubs are considered to be "Target" (or "slave") Hubs.
In a multi-Hub installation, the first UDM Hub in the chain must be configured through the Hub's built-
in WebConsole as a Master Hub. Subsequent Hubs in the chain should be configured as Target (or
"slave") Hubs. Each system can have only one Master Hub, and in theory there is no limit to the amount
of cascaded (Target) Hubs allowed.
For all new installations, the recommended method for video distribution uses Solecis
Distribution Amplifiers, rather than the CASCADE IN/OUT Ports (see the Distributing
Video - Using Cascade Kits section on page 79).
To configure a Hub as the Master Hub in a Cascaded system;
1. In the WebConsole, click on the Setup option.
See the Configuration section on page 25 for details on the WebConsole.
2. Click on the Cascade master option (FIG. 111).
