You may manage a maximum of 128 outlets from a single work station by connecting slave PM IPDUs to the master PM IPDU device. See Making a Direct Connection for Console Access on page 20 for more details.

To daisy chain a PM IPDU:

This procedure assumes that a master PM IPDU is already connected to a work station or to a Cyclades console server, terminal server, KVM switch, or OnSite appliance.

1.Connect one end of an RJ-45 cable to the OUT port of the main Cyclades PM IPDU, which is connected to a work station or to a Cyclades console or KVM device (master).

2.Connect the other end of the RJ-45 cable to the IN port of the secondary Cyclades PM IPDU (slave).
