Cascading Multiple Units - Lindy SC5 User Manual

Cascading multiple units

The SC5 units support up to
sixteen directly connected
computer systems, however, this
is by no means the limit. Instead
of connecting computers to every
output port, you can instead link
other SC5 units. Thus each output
of the original SC5 unit can link
through to many more computers
connected to the secondary units.
The combination of SC5 units
can be arranged two levels
deep forming a tree, or cascade
arrangement, with computer
systems situated at either level
within that cascade tree.

The cascade tree
The diagram shows how multiple SC5 units can be cascaded to two
levels. Computer systems can be connected at any level. The local or
remote user can access computer systems situated anywhere within
the cascade tree.
