2.5 Structuring your AdderView MATRIX MP installation
A single AdderView MATRIX MP 216 may be used to manage and control up to 16 computers (see figure 4). For larger numbers of computers, MATRIX MP units may be cascaded in a tree structure with AdderView MATRIX products to form a video switching network (see figure 5). The AdderView unit at the top of this tree structure is normally used to control all the cascaded AdderViews although other configurations are possible.
The AdderView MATRIX MP and AdderView MATRIX are fitted with an intelligent communication system that enables it to detect and communicate with other AdderViews so that it is able to positively verify that all the cascaded AdderViews have correctly responded to a switching request from the user. The AdderViews communicate with each other via the keyboard cables.
AdderView MATRIX MP may be cascaded in a very flexible manner. Either 1 or 2 links may be made between cascaded AdderViews. The number of independent users supported by the system is determined by the number of cascade links that have been installed. If two cascade links are made then two users have simultaneous access to ports on the cascaded AdderViews. The AdderView intelligently manages the cascade links and allocates them on a first come first served basis rather like a telephone network.
AdderView MATRIX MP may also be cascaded to some other Adder KVM switches although some restrictions may apply. Please consult Adder or your supplier if you would like more information.
When cascading AdderView MATRIX MP keep in mind the following rules
The maximum number of layers in a AdderView MATRIX MP / MATRIX cascade is four.
