Repeat the above procedure for each slave, and give each one a unique IP address.
7.4 Changing the cascade status
The Configuration wizard only appears automatically the first time you connect and
switch on a DX Central. When you change the cascade status of the DX system,
e.g. by adding or removing an already configured DX Central, you configure the
new cascade status in the same way as above, by connecting a DX User to the
newly added DX Central. You then invoke the Configuration wizard from the
Settings window. This is explained on page 44 – (Configure cascade options).
7.5 Connecting the DX Users when cascading
Once all the slaves are configured, connect all DX Users to the primary DX
Central.
For each DX User in the system connect a CAT5 cable from the primary DX
Central Server port to each DX Central secondary level User port. Figure 16 shows
the CAT5 cables for 1 cascaded DX Central. Figure 17 shows CAT5 cables for 2
cascaded DX Centrals.
