Installation (continued)
Daisy Chaining Plus Cascading Expansion
B060-032 units can be daisy chained to other B060-032 units to produce extremely large KVM matrixes. Under Protocol Interface Expansion, up to 8 daisy chained 32-port B060-032s can have an 8-port B007-008s cascaded from each port, allowing up to 2,048 computers and 32 consoles in a full installation (8 x 32 x 8).
The four consoles belonging to the Master B060-032 can access and control all of the ports on all of the switches on the entire installation. The four consoles belonging to each of the Slave units can access and control all of their own ports and all of the ports on all of the switches that are cascaded down from them.
Under Physical Interface Expansion up to 8 daisy chained 32-port B060-032s can have can have 16-port B022-016s cascaded from each port, and the B022-016s can be daisy chained to 32 levels, allowing up to 131,072 computers and 32 consoles in a full installation (8 x 32 x 32 x 16).
Protocol Interface Expansion
To set up a daisy chained/cascaded installation under Protocol Interface Expansion, refer to the diagram below, and do the following:
1.Follow the cabling procedures given in the Cascading and Daisy Chaining sections.
2.Power up the daisy chained B060-032 Stations according to the sequence given in the Daisy Chaining section (p. 10).
3.After all the daisy chained B060-032 Stations are up, power on the cascaded Stations.
4.After all the cascaded Stations are up, power on the computers.
