  • Page 28: Installing A Cascaded Summit System

    4.3 Installing a Cascaded Summit System The ServSwitch Summit’s channel capacity can be easily expanded by installing a cascade of Base Units as shown in Figure 4-7. In a “two-tiered” cascaded system, one or more subsidiary Base Units are connected to the channel ports of a master Base Unit. If you fully populate a second tier, you can add a third tier by connecting additional subsidiary Base Units to the channel ports of Base Units in the second tier.
  • Page 29 SERVSWITCH™ SUMMIT Take these steps to install a cascaded system with multiple Base Units: 1. Connect one end of a CAT5 UTP cable to user port # 1 on the back of the master Base Unit. (If the cascade consists of both 16 x 64 Base Units and other Base Unit models, a 16 x 64 Base Unit must be the master.) Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45 CAT5 port on the back of the USM.

    SERVSWITCH™ SUMMIT Appendix A: Group Settings If you’d like to assign access rights to users and security levels to computer CPUs in a ServSwitch™ Summit system, you can assign users to user groups with defined rights and CPUs to channel groups with defined accessibility. Each group can have multiple users or CPUs assigned to it.
  • Page 56 APPENDIX A: Group Settings (Access Rights) We recommend that your main system administrators be assigned to the user group 00, which can access all CPUs, and that your assistant administrators be assigned to user groups between 01 and 09. Correspondingly, we recommend that CPUs which all users will need to access, such as application or document servers, be assigned to channel group 00, and that computers which need the most security protection be assigned to channel groups from 10 to 99.
