Cascading

Another way of adding capacity to your installation is to cascade additional KVM switches from the B060 Series KVM’s CPU ports. Up to 16 or 32 additional KVM switches can be cascaded depending on the model. Cascading does not increase the number of consoles that can be used to control the computers (unlike daisychaining).

Note: 1. While you can daisy chain B060 Series KVM’s, you cannot cascade them.

2. Switches cannot be cascaded beyond the second stage.

In a cascaded installation, the B060 Series KVM is considered the First Stage unit; cascaded KVM switches are considered Second Stage units. The B060 Series KVM supports two types of cascade: 1) Protocol Interface Cascading (see the installation diagram under Protocol Interface Cascading section), and 2) Physical Interface Cascading (see the installation diagram under Physical Interface Cascading section).
