Cascading
To centrally control up to 4 CM1164A units (16 sources), cascade 4 additional
CM1164A units to another CM1164A. As many as 16 source devices can be
controlled from a single CM1164A console in a complete cascade installation.
To set up a cascade installation, make sure that the power to all devices has
been turned off, and then do the following:
1. Connect the console ports of a secondary CM1164A to any of the DVI
KVM ports on the primary CM1164A using the provided KVM cables.
2. To cascade another CM1164A, repeat step 1.
3. Connect the secondary CM1164A units with sources. For detailed steps,
see Single Station Installation, page 15.
4. Connect the primary CM1164A with a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and
a monitor.
5. Change the installation setting to Cascade in the OSD Menu (Advanced >
Expansion) on each primary and secondary CM1164A units.
6. Power off the installed primary and secondary CM1164A units.
7. Power on the installed primary CM1164A unit, and wait for the channel
info to appear on your monitor connected to the primary CM1164A unit.
Only after the CM1164A unit is powered on, power on the secondary
CM1164A units. After all the stations are up, power on the connected
source devices.
Note: Make sure the computers and devices that the CM1164A connects
to are also properly grounded.
8. Each secondary CM1164A unit is recognized as an input source (port 1 ~
4) to the primary CM1164A. To only display the sources of a particular
secondary CM1164A, use any of the following methods:
Press the corresponding front-panel port pushbutton
Press the corresponding port button on the IR remote control
