Setting the Cascading Mode
A maximum of 16 PX3TS devices can be cascaded to share one Ethernet
connection. See
Cascading Multiple PX3TS Devices for Sharing
Ethernet Connectivity
(on page 28).
The cascading mode configured on the master device determines the
Ethernet sharing method, which is either network bridging or port
forwarding. See
Overview of the Cascading Modes
(on page 284).
The cascading mode of all devices in the chain must be the same.
Only a user with the Change Network Settings permission can configure
the cascading mode.
Note: PX3TS in the Port Forwarding mode does not support APIPA. See
APIPA and Link-Local Addressing
(on page 7).
To configure the cascading mode:
1. Connect the Raritan device to the LAN and find its IP address, or
connect it to a computer.

For computer connection instructions, see Connecting the
PX3TS to a Computer
(on page 24).

To find the IP address, see IPv4 Address (on page 103) for
non-iX7 products or Device Info
(on page 126) for iX7
™
products.
2. Log in to its web interface. See Login (on page 140).
3. Choose Device Settings > Network.
4. Select the preferred mode in the Cascading Mode field.
Mode Description
None
No cascading mode is enabled. This is the
default.
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(es) but
with a different port number assigned.
For details on port numbers, see
Port
Number Syntax (on page 285).
Tip: If selecting Port Forwarding, the Device Information page will
show a list of port numbers for all cascaded devices. Simply choose
Maintenance > Device Information > Port Forwarding.
