For instructions on USB cascading, see Cascading All Devices via USB
(on page 26).
Suggestions for extended cascading:

Ethernet cascading is recommended because of the longer distance,
lower latency and more reliable connection it supports.

The "green" ETH1 port (ETH 10/100/1000) on a Raritan master
device is recommended for network connection because it supports
up to 1000 Mbps.
To cascade SRC PDUs via Ethernet ports:
1. Make sure all Raritan devices are running firmware version 3.3.10 or
later. Note that SRC must run 3.5.10 or later.
2. Choose one SRC as the master device.
3. Log in to all devices one by one and select the same cascading mode.

Bridging mode:
Set the cascading mode of all devices to Bridging.

Port Forwarding mode:
Set the cascading mode of all devices to Port Forwarding. Make
sure the cascading role and downstream interface are also set
correctly.
See
Setting the Cascading Mode
(on page 187).
4. Connect the master device to the LAN, using a method below.

Bridging mode:
Use a standard network patch cable (CAT5e or higher).

Port Forwarding mode:
Use a standard network patch cable and/or a Raritan USB WIFI
wireless LAN adapter. For information on the Raritan USB WIFI
adapter, see
USB Wireless LAN Adapters
(on page 12).
5. Connect the available Ethernet port of the master device to either
Ethernet port of another SRC via a standard network patch cable.
This additional SRC device is Slave 1.
6. Connect Slave 1's available Ethernet port to either Ethernet port of
another SRC via a standard network patch cable. The second
additional device is Slave 2.
7. Repeat the same step to connect more SRC PDUs. You can cascade
up to 15 slave devices.
8. (Optional) Configure or change the network settings of the master
and/or slave devices as needed. See
Configuring Network Settings
(on page 169).
