2. Connect the MCCAT user station to the base switch. For
more information, see the
Quick Installation and Setup
Guide
shipped with the MCCAT user station or Connecting
a User Station (Optional) in the User Guide.
Note: You can also connect input/output devices directly to the
"second-tier devices." However, users operating the
input/output devices connected to the second-tier devices only
gain access to the channels of the second-tier devices where
they access. To view all channels of the whole system, you
must operate the input/output devices connected to the base
switch directly or via the user station.
STEP (D): Specify the Type of the Second-Tier
Device in the OSD
MCCAT cannot detect which types of devices are connected to
its channel ports. Therefore, you must specify the types
manually in the Channel Configuration submenu. Otherwise,
you cannot access the channels of the second-tier devices.
MCCAT supports these device types:
