Appendix D Two-Tier System

You can connect multiple MCCAT switches to organize a two-tier system,
expanding the number of available channels. Different models can be
mixed in the system. If the system completely comprises the
16-channel-port models, the number of connected computers can be
expanded up to 256 computers.
Note: User documentation for MCCAT switches can be downloaded from
Raritan website's Firmware and Documentation section
(http://www.raritan.com/support/firmware-and-documentation/).
