Limitations
The front panel buttons are only used to operate standalone switches. To control a cascaded network of switches, only the OSD
commands within Command Mode will be recognized.
Users connected to accessible ports on downstream slaves (i.e. ports not connected to the master, as in the case of multi-user
slaves) will not be able to control switches or CPUs connected upstream. Only control over CPUs and slaves downstream from
a user's connection point will be enabled. (See Fig. 17)

Cable Connections
The same cable used to connect a CPU to the UNIMUX is used to connect two UNIMUX switches together- USBVEXT-xx-MM.
No other cables will be necessary. To connect a slave to a master
1. Connect the USB-A-male end of the USBVEXT-xx-MM to the USER 1 port on the slave.
2. Connect the 15HD male at the same end of the USBVEXT-xx-MM cable to the MONITOR 1 port on the slave.
3. Connect the USB-B-male end of the USBVEXT-xx-MM to the CPU 1 port on the master.
4. Connect the 15HD male at the same end of the USBVEXT-xx-MM to the VIDEO 1 port on the master.
Repeat this procedure for each USER and MONITOR port on the slave that is desired to be controlled through the master. Any
USER and MONITOR ports that do not get connected to the master can be connected to by users. Users connected to a slave
downstream from the master will control only the CPUs directly connected to that slave switch (i.e. users 5 and 6 in fig. 17 above
can only control CPUs 25-40).
