To cascade PX3TS devices via USB:
1. Make sure all Raritan devices are running firmware version 3.3.10 or later.
2. Choose the appropriate one as the master device.
▪
When the Port Forwarding mode over "wireless LAN" is intended, the
master device must be a Raritan product with two USB-A ports, such
as PX3, Smart Rack Controller, EMX2-888, PX3TS or BCM2.
3. Log in to all devices one by one and select the same cascading mode.
▪
Bridging mode:
Set the cascading mode of all devices to Bridging.
▪
Port Forwarding mode:
Set the cascading mode of all devices to Port Forwarding. Make sure
the cascading role and downstream interface are also set correctly.
See Setting the Cascading Mode
4. Connect the master device to the LAN, using a method below.
▪
Bridging mode:
Use a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher).
▪
Port Forwarding mode:
Use a standard network patch cable and/or a Raritan USB WIFI wireless
LAN adapter. For information on the Raritan USB WIFI adapter, see
USB Wireless LAN Adapters
5. Connect the USB-A port of the master device to the USB-B port of an
additional PX3TS via a USB cable. This additional device is Slave 1.
6. Connect Slave 1's USB-A port to the USB-B port of an additional PX3TS via
another USB cable. The second additional device is Slave 2.
7. Repeat the same step to connect more slave devices. You can cascade up
to 15 slave devices.
8. (Optional) Configure or change the network settings of the master and/or
slave devices as needed. See
▪
Bridging mode: Each cascaded device has its own network settings.
For example, you can have some devices use DHCP-assigned IP
addresses and the others use static IP addresses.
▪
Port Forwarding mode: Only the master device's network settings
should be configured.
