Establishing a Two-Tier System

Basically, there are five major steps to establish a two-tier
system:
•
STEP (A): Programme an MCCAT switch as a second-tier
device
•
STEP (B): Connect the second-tier MCCAT switch to the
base switch
•
STEP (C): Connect input/output devices to the base switch
•
STEP (D): Specify the type of the second-tier device in the
OSD
•
STEP (E): Connect computers to the MCCAT system
STEP (A): Programme an MCCAT Switch as a
Second-Tier Device
Each MCCAT switch is programmed as a base switch (first-tier
device) by default. To establish a two-tier MCCAT system, you
have to change the default programming of the MCCAT
switches that you want to set as the second-tier devices.
1. Turn OFF the MCCAT switch.
2. Press and hold down the channel number 2 button on the
front panel, and turn ON the MCCAT switch
simultaneously.
3. Continue to hold down the channel number 2 button until
you hear the beep sound.
4. The TIER LED is lit continuously, indicating the MCCAT
switch is now programmed as a second-tier device.
