3.3 Cascading StackMaster™TR Units

Cascading the StackMaster™TR cascades ONLY the SNMP management. To cascade the StackMaster™TR units, use the RI/RO connections at the front.

NOTE: Use only the special six-inch DB-25 (male-to-male) cables (PN 6005).The StackMaster™TR 16-Port DOES NOT require terminators.

To cascade a Stack in which the top unit has an SNMP management board installed:

1.Connect six-inch DB-25 (male-to-male) cable to Cascade B of StackMaster™TR 16-Port Unit.

Cascade A

240-220

Cascade B

110-120

2Connect six-inch DB-25 (male-to-male) cable from StackMaster™TR 16-Port Unit above to Cascade A of next StackMaster™TR 16-Port Unit.

Cascade A

	240-220
Cascade B	110-120
	110-120
Cascade A
	240-220
Cascade B	110-120

3.Connect six-inch DB-25 (male-to-male) cable from Cascade A to Cascade B of same StackMaster™TR 16-Port Unit.

Cascade A

	240-220
Cascade B	110-120

4.Continue steps 2 and 3 until all StackMaster™TR 16-Port Units are connected.
