For instructions on USB cascading, see Cascading PX3TS via USB (on
page 30).
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) of the master device is
recommended for network connection because it supports up to
1000 Mbps.
To cascade iX7
™
PDUs via Ethernet ports:
1. Make sure all Raritan devices are running firmware version 3.3.10 or
later.
2. Choose one iX7
™
PDU 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 282).
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 17).
5. Connect the available Ethernet port of the master device to either
Ethernet port of another iX7
™
via a standard network patch cable.
This additional iX7
™
device is Slave 1.
