Chapter 3: Initial Installation and Configuration

The first one in the cascading chain is the master device and all the other
are slave devices. Only the master device is physically connected to the
LAN -- wired or wireless.
Each device in the chain is accessible over the network, with the bridging
or port-forwarding cascading mode activated on the master device. See
Setting the Cascading Mode
(on page 231).
Bridging: Each device in the cascading chain is accessed with a
different IP address.
Port Forwarding: Each device in the cascading chain is accessed with
the same IP address but with a different port number assigned.
Cascading restrictions:
In the bridging mode, the master device can have "only one"
connection to the network. If the master device is a PX3-iX7 PDU
with two Ethernet ports, DO NOT connect both ports to the network(s)
in this mode.
Note: The port forwarding mode does NOT have such a restriction. In
the port forwarding mode, you can enable both wired and wireless
networking, or enable both Ethernet ports.
Do NOT connect slave devices to the LAN via a standard network
patch cable or a USB wireless LAN adapter.
An Ethernet-cascaded device must have its Ethernet interface
enabled for the networking to work properly. By default the Ethernet
interface is enabled.
USB-cascading tip:
The "USB-cascading" configuration can be a combination of diverse
Raritan products that support the USB-cascading feature, including PX2,
PX3, PX3-iX7, transfer switch, BCM and EMX.
Troubleshooting:
When a networking issue occurs, check the cascading connection and/or
software settings of all devices in the chain. See
Cascading
Troubleshooting
(on page 688).
