QS Rule
Establishing a Two-Tier System
To increase the total number of servers a user can access,
establish a two-tier system.
In the two-tier system, the 1st tier comprises only one MCD
switch, which is called 'base switch' in the following context.
The 2nd tier comprises 1 to 32 additional MCD switches.
Tip: You can also use one MCD-LED KVM drawer as the base
switch, but this product cannot be a 2nd-tier KVM switch
because it does not have a console port.
STEP (a): Connect the 2nd-tier switch(es) to the base
switch
STEP (b): Connect the keyboard, mouse, monitor and
audio devices to the base switch
STEP (c): Connect servers to the two-tier system
Step (a): Connect 2nd-Tier Switches to the Base
Switch
You can mix identical or different MCD models in a two-tier
system. For example, you may connect a MCD-116 switch to a
MCD-232 base switch.
To cascade MCD switches:
1. Turn OFF all MCD switches, including the base switch.
