Cascading multiple units

The ServSwitch CX Uno IP 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 ServSwitch CX Uno units (not IP variants). Thus, each output of the original ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit can link through to many more computers connected to the secondary ServSwitch CX Uno units.

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

Note: It is not possible to cascade two ServSwitch CX Uno IP units together because they do not have a Remote User Port on their front panels. The lower units must always be the non-IP ServSwitch CX Uno variants.

The cascade tree

The diagram shows how an ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit and multiple ServSwitch CX Uno units can be cascaded to two levels. Computer systems can be connected at any level. The local or global users can access computer systems situated anywhere within the cascade tree.
