Cascading multiple units	X100		IP
The AdderView CATx (IP) units
support up to sixteen or twenty
four directly connected computer
systems, however, this is by	POWER
no means the limit. Thanks to	IN
an intelligent communication		CAM
system, called Adder Port Direct,
many more computer systems
can be controlled by connecting
other AdderView CATx units.
The combination of units can
be arranged up to three levels
deep forming a tree, or cascade
arrangement, with computer
systems situated at any level
within that cascade tree.

The maximum number of computer systems that can be controlled within a cascade installation depends upon the AdderView CATx unit placed at the top level. If the top level unit is a non-IP version, a maximum of 512 computer systems can be controlled. However, if the top level unit is an AdderView CATx IP, the maximum number of computers drops to 128.

This is due to the extra burden placed on the unit’s memory of administering global (IP) users.

The cascade tree

The diagram shows how multiple AdderView CATx units can be cascaded up to three levels. Computer systems can be connected at any level. Up to four users (local, remote or global) can simultaneously access computer systems situated around the cascade tree.
