Cascade (Master/Slave) Configuration
You can connect a second level of one or more Sun KVM Switches to
"PC 1"~”PC 8” po rts of a Master unit. Cascade configuration
expands system ability allowing y ou to select servers connected to
the Master or Slaves. There is only one Master that connects to the
Integra Console directly operated by a user.
Once connected, Sun KVM Switches automatically conf igure
themselves to either Master or Slave. Slaves of dif f e rent Sun K VM
Switch models can be mixed in cascade configuration as shown in
f igure 2.
