names. The On Screen Menu is recommended for selecting computers on cascaded SmartViews as this avoids the need to use long hotkey sequences that may be hard to remember. When using the On Screen Menu, limit the cascade depth to three levels (the maximum number of port digits that can be added to the menu).
For example, consider a situation where two SmartView Pro units are connected together as shown below. To connect to the computer attached to port 3 on SmartView B the user would hold down the hotkey keys then press ‘2’ followed by ‘3’, whilst keeping the hotkey keys pressed. This will have the effect of connecting to port ‘3’ of the SmartView which is connected into port ‘2’ of the first SmartView unit A. (note: if you are cascading 12 and 16 port units then you will need to type a leading 0 before all single digit port numbers).
For example to connect to port 3 on the SmartView SV8PRO cascaded off port 2 of your first SmartView SV8PRO use:
press ba2release 2
press 3release 3ba
For example to connect to port 14 on the SmartView SV16PRO cascaded off port 1 of your first SmartView SV16PRO use:
press ba0release 0
press 1release 1
press 1release 1
press 4release 4ba
