Daisy Chain Installation

To control even more computers, one additional CS724KM unit can be daisy
chained from the First Stage unit.
To set up a daisy chain installation, refer to the installation diagram on page 11
(the numbers in the diagram correspond to the steps below), and do the
following:
1. Cable up the computers according to the information provided under
Single Stage Installation, page 7.
2. Repeat the step above for the Second Stage unit. When setting up the
second stage unit, connecting a keyboard and mouse to the console ports is
optional (see Note 2, below).
3. Use an RJ-45 cable to connect the Serial port on the Primary unit to the
Serial port on the Secondary unit.
4. On the Primary unit, set the Station Switch to P.
5. On the Secondary unit, set the Station Switch to S.
Note: 1. In a daisy-chained installation, set one Station Switch to P and the
other to S. If the Station Switch on both CS724KM units are set to the
same position (P or S), the console on both CS724KM units will not
work.
2. If two CS724KM units are connected with a console (keyboard/
mouse), the console on the Primary unit can control all computers
connected to the Primary and the Secondary units; however, the
console on the Secondary unit will not be able to control any
computers on the installation.
3. After both units are up, power on the computers.
