Computer systems can be connected at any level. Up to four users (local, remote or global) can simultaneously systems, however, this is by access computer systems situated around the cascade tree. -
Page 18: How Cascade Connections Operate
For instance, a quad group connected to computer ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 of an AdderView CATx unit would always be known as 41, the next quad group connected to ports 5 to 8 would always carry the number 42, and so on. -
Page 19: Addressing Computers In A Cascade
The group at level 2 is numbered 41 because it is a quad group, connected to ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the AdderView CATx. If it was connected to ports 5, 6, 7 and 8, then the group number would be 42 and the overall address for the red computer would be 43 42 02. -

In use, cascaded computers can be accessed using exactly the same methods as for those connected directly to the AdderView CATx. However, by far the easiest way is to use the on screen menu. This is because it displays the computer names and does not require any knowledge of port addresses, some of which (as discussed above) can be up to six digits long. -

Create an ADMIN (administration) password. All AdderView CATx units have a fixed user account that cannot be deleted, named ADMIN. This user account is the only one that is able to make important system changes. If you intend to use security, then it is important to allocate a password to the ADMIN account. -
