When you need to control more than sixteen host
computers using ServSwitch CX Quad IP units,
there are two main ways to achieve this:
• The preferred method is to use multiple
ServSwitch CX Quad IP units to control groups
of sixteen hosts and then use the
WIZARD.NET utility to manage the interactions
of multiple users with those hosts. This
method is described in the section
Creating
larger installations
.
• The alternative method is to cascade
ServSwitch CX Uno units from the ports of
the original ServSwitch CX Quad IP unit. Up
to sixteen hosts can then be linked to each
of the secondary ServSwitch CX Uno units.
The combination of ServSwitch units can be
arranged two levels deep forming a tree, or
cascade arrangement, with computer systems
situated at either level within that cascade
tree.
The limitation of the latter method is that the local
and global users linking into the ServSwitch CX
Quad IP unit can all only view one host system at
a time due to the single pathways formed by the
connections between the ServSwitch units.
This section details the configuration and
operation of a cascade system for completeness.
Note: It is not possible to cascade two ServSwitch
CX Quad IP units together because they do not
have a Remote User Port on their front panels.
The lower units must always be the non-IP
ServSwitch CX Uno variants.
The cascade tree
The diagram shows how an ServSwitch CX Quad IP unit and multiple
ServSwitch CX Uno units can be cascaded to two levels. Computer
systems can be connected at any level. The local or global users can
access computer systems situated anywhere within the cascade tree.
