2.4.1 Adding a tiered switch
NOTE: The switch does not support the Avocent® OutLook EL80-DT KVMswitch.
You can tier up to two levels of switches, 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 an 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.
