Avocent AutoView 1515 - Manual (Page 23)

Chapter 2: Installation 11
In this configuration, the local port OSCAR interface is disabled in switches cascaded below the
main AutoView switch.
To cascade multiple AutoView switches:
1. Connect the cascaded AutoView switch to each server as described in the previous Installing
the AutoView Switch section.
2. Connect the local peripherals to analog user A and/or B of the main switch as described in To
connect local peripherals.
3. Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling that will run between your main and cascaded AutoView
switch to the RJ-45 ACI port on the cascaded AutoView switch.
4. Attach the other end of the CAT 5 cable to one of the RJ-45 ARI ports on the main
AutoView switch.
NOTE: The system will automatically “merge” the two switches together as one. All servers connected to the
cascaded AutoView switch will display on the main AutoView switch server list in the OSCAR interface.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all additional (secondary) cascaded AutoView switches you wish
to attach.
