Connecting units in cascade

The.method.for.cascading.AdderView.CATxIP.1000.and.AdderView.CATx.

1000.units.is.straightforward.and.requires.no.hardware.settings.or.lengthy.

conﬁguration.process..

The.method.of.linking.units.is.the.same.regardless.of.the.cascade.level,.or.

number.of.devices.attached..Put.simply:.

• A single cascade link is made by connecting a computer connections

socket of the ADDerVieW cAtxip 1000 unit to the remote user port

socket of the ADDerVieW cAtx 1000 unit below it.

Please.consider.the.following.when.making.cascade.connections.between.units.

Tips for successful cascading

•. The.maximum.number.of.levels.for.a.cascade.is.two.

•. For.each.cascade.link,.use.a.standard.category.5,.5e.or.6.twisted-pair.cable,.

terminated.at.each.end.with.an.RJ45.connector..There.must.be.no.crossover.

connections.within.the.cable..The.cascade.link.cables.can.be.up.to.50m.(160.

feet).in.length..Also.ensure.that.the.total.length.from.the.top.AdderView.

CATx.1000.to.any.CAM.does.not.exceed.10m.

•. The.procedure.given.opposite.may.be.carried.out.in.any.order.but.for.

clarity.the.instruction.will.begin.at.the.AdderView.CATxIP.1000.unit..The.

procedure.remains.the.same.regardless.of.exactly.which.cascade.levels.are.

being.connected..The.basic.rule.is.that.each.link.is.made.by.connecting.a.

COMPUTER CONNECTIONS.port.of.the.ADDERVIEW CATxip 1000 (upper.switch).to.

the.REMOTE USER PORT.(on.the.front.panel).of.the.ADDERVIEW CATx 1000.
