Adding a Tiered Switch
NOTE: The SCS does not support the EL80-DT.
You can tier up to two levels of switches (Figure 2.10), enabling users to
connect to up to 512 devices. In a tiered system, each device port on the main
switch will connect to the ACI port on each tiered switch. Each tiered switch
can then be connected to a device with a SIP or Avocent IQ module.
To tier multiple switches:
1 Attach one end of a UTP cable (up to 30 meters in length) to a device port
on the switch.
2 Connect the other end of the UTP cable to the ACI port on the back of
your tiered switch.
3 Connect the devices to your tiered switch.
4 Repeat these steps for all the tiered switches you wish to attach to your
system.
NOTE: The system will automatically “merge” the two switches. All switches
connected to the tiered switch will display on the main switch list in the local UI.
NOTE: The switch supports one tiered switch per device port of the main switch. You
cannot attach a switch to the tiered switch.
