Daisy Chaining
To display even more source devices, up to 3 additional CM1164A units can
be daisy chained from the original CM1164A. As many as 16 source devices
can be controlled from a single console in a complete daisy chain installation.
Each CM1164A in a daisy chain requires its own monitor as the video signals
cannot be passed through to other units on a daisy chain. For daisy chain cable
length restriction, see the table below.

To set up a daisy chain installation, make sure that the power to all devices has
been turned off, and do the following:
1. Use a Cat 5 cable to connect the DCC out port of the primary CM1164A to
the DCC in port of the secondary CM1164A unit(s) (first station out to
second station in, second station out to third station in, etc.).
2. Plug a DVI display into the Console DVI port located on each unit's rear
panel.
3. Cable up the computer and the switch according to the information
provided under Single Station Installation, page 15.
4. Repeat the above for any other switches you want to add to the chain (up
to three).
5. Power on the installation: plug in the power cord for the first station, then
power on each station on the installation in turn (second station, then third
station, etc.). After all the stations are up, power on the computers/video
source devices.
Note: Make sure the computers and devices that the CM1164A connects
to are also properly grounded.
6. Make sure the Expansion setting is set to Daisy Chain in the OSD Menu
(Advanced > Expansion) on each primary and secondary CM1164A
units.
