Port Forwarding mode

downstream interface are also set correctly.
See
Setting the Cascading Mode
(on page 165).
4. Connect the master device to the LAN, using a method below.
Bridging mode
:
Use a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher).
Port Forwarding mode
:
Use a standard network patch cable and/or a Raritan USB WIFI wireless LAN adapter. For
information on the Raritan USB WIFI adapter, see
USB Wireless LAN Adapters
(on page 25).
5. Connect the USB-A port of the master device to the USB-B port of an additional Legrand PDU via a USB
cable. This additional device is Slave 1.
6. Connect Slave 1's USB-A port to the USB-B port of an additional Legrand PDU via another USB cable.
The second additional device is Slave 2.
7. Repeat the same step to connect more slave devices. You can cascade up to 15 slave devices.
8. (Optional) Configure or change the network settings of the master and/or slave devices as needed. See
Configuring Network Settings
(on page 155).
Bridging mode
: Each cascaded device has its own network settings.
For example, you can have some devices use DHCP-assigned IP addresses and the others use
static IP addresses.
Port Forwarding mode
: Only the master device's network settings should be configured.
A tip for USB cascading:
Legrand PDUs can be cascaded with Raritan's PX2-based products. For a list of these Raritan products,
see
Cascading with Raritan PX2-Based Products
(on page 532).
