Setting the Cascading Mode 

A maximum of eight PX devices can be cascaded using USB cables and 
therefore share only one Ethernet connection. See 

Cascading the PX 

via USB

 (on page 29). 

The Ethernet sharing mode applied to the USB-cascading configuration 
is either network bridging or port forwarding. This mode is determined by 
the master device. See 

Overview of the Cascading Modes

 (on page 

137). 

Only the Admin user or a user with the Administrator Privileges 
permission can configure the cascading mode. 

To apply the "Port Forwarding" cascading mode, all cascaded PX 
devices must be upgraded to version 2.5.20 or later, or those devices not 
supporting the "Port Forwarding" mode cannot be accessed over the 
network. See 

Updating the PX Firmware

 (on page 317). 

Note: The PX in the Port Forwarding mode does not support APIPA. See 

APIPA and Link-Local Addressing

 (on page 2). 

 

To configure the cascading mode: 

1.  Log in to the master device's web interface. 

2.  Choose Device Settings > USB Cascading. The USB Cascading 

Configuration dialog appears. 

3.  Verify that the "Position in cascaded chain" field shows 0 (Master), 

indicating that this PX is the master device. 

4.  Select the preferred cascading mode in the "Cascading mode" field. 

  Bridging: Each device in the USB-cascading configuration is 

accessed with a different IP address. This is the default. 

  Port Forwarding: Each device in the USB-cascading 

configuration is accessed with the same IP address but with a 
different port number assigned. For details the port numbers, see 

Port Number Syntax

 (on page 139). 

Note: If reversing or disconnecting the USB cable from a slave 
device, causing the slave device to become a master or standalone 
device, you must plug an Ethernet cable to it to update its 
USB-cascading status. 

5. Click 

OK. 

6.  If selecting Port Forwarding, a list of port numbers for diverse 

networking protocols will be available on the "Protocol to Port 
Mapping" tab of each cascaded device.
