In a cascade configuration, any port on the MASTER can be
used to cascade to the CONSOLE ports of the SLAVE.
For example: To select a computer which is connected to port
#5 on the SLAVE, when port # 1 of the MASTER is used as the
daisy-chain port, press and release the left CTRL key twice,
then press and release the #1 key, then press and release the
#5 key. (See Figure 8.)

A slave MUST have an equal or less number of computer ports
than the master. Do not attempt to configure a slave with more
ports than its’ master.
