Cascading multiple units

The AdderView CATx 1000 units support up to eight or sixteen directly connected computer systems, however, this is by

no means the limit. Instead of connecting computers to every output port, you can instead link other AdderView CATx 1000 units. Thus each output of the original AdderView CATx 1000 unit can link through to many more computers connected to the secondary units.

The combination of AdderView CATx 1000 units can be arranged two levels deep forming a tree, or cascade arrangement, with computer systems situated at either level within that cascade tree.

The cascade tree

The diagram shows how multiple AdderView CATx 1000 units can be cascaded to two levels. Computer systems can be connected at any level. The local or remote user can access computer systems situated anywhere within the cascade tree.
