Adding, Removing or Swapping Cascaded Devices
Change the cascading mode first before adding any device to a cascading
chain, or before disconnecting a cascaded device from the chain.
If you only want to change the cascading mode of an existing chain, or
swap the master and slave device, always start from the slave device.
Note: If the following procedures are not followed, a networking issue
occurs. When a networking issue occurs, check the cascading
connection and/or software settings of all devices in the chain. See
Cascading Troubleshooting (on page 535).
To add a device to an existing chain:
1. Connect the device that you will cascade to the LAN and find its IP
address, or connect it to a computer.
2. Log in to this device and set its cascading mode to be the same as
the existing chain's cascading mode. See
Setting the Cascading
Mode (on page 162).
3. Connect it to the chain, using either USB or Ethernet cable.
To remove a device from the chain:
1. Log in to the desired cascaded device, and change its cascading
mode to None.
Exception: If you are going to connect the removed device to another
cascading chain, set its cascading mode to be the same as the
cascading mode of another chain.
2. Now disconnect it from the cascading chain.
To swap the master and slave device:

In the bridging mode, you can swap the master and slave devices by
simply disconnecting ALL cascading cables from them, and then
reconnecting cascading cables. No changes to software settings are
required.

In the port forwarding mode, you must follow the procedure below:
a. Access the slave device that will replace the master device, and
set its role to 'Master', and correctly set the downstream
interface.
b. Access the master device, set its role to 'Slave'.
c. Swap the master and slave device now. You must disconnect ALL
cascading cables connected to the two devices first before
swapping them and reconnecting cascading cables.
