The unique address
of this host is:
1203
Port 12
at cascade
level 1
Addressing computers in a cascade
Computer systems connected within a cascade arrangement are addressed using
up to four digits, two for each cascade level. The pairs of digits specify which of
the
COMPUTER CONNECTIONS
ports on each of the ServSwitch CX Uno units must
be enabled to reach a specific computer. In the diagram given here, a portion
of the previous cascade diagram indicates how the routes to two particular
computers are formed and addressed.
Each cascade level requires two digits, hence the computer marked in red
requires a longer address (1203) as it is situated at cascade level 2, compared to
the blue computer at the top level with its two digit port number.
The first time that you make a connection between two ServSwitch CX Uno
units, the master unit will detect this and ask (via the on screen menu) if you
want to automatically add computers. If you choose ‘Yes’ then the ports on the
cascade will be automatically added to the on screen menu.
Using cascaded computers
In use, cascaded computers can be accessed using exactly the same methods
as for those connected directly to the ServSwitch CX Uno. 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. See
the
Selecting cascaded computers
section in the Operation chapter for more
details.
