Cascade Configuration (Master/Slave)
A cascade configuration consists of one master unit and one or
more slave units. The master unit has the PS/2 keyboard, PS/2
mouse and VGA monitor directly connected to its’ console ports,
from which the operator will access any computer. Additional
levels of one or more Master-IT PRO switches can be connected
to PC Ports 1~8 of a MASTER or SLAVE unit to expand the
number of computers that can be accessed and controlled,
thereby creating a cascade configuration.
The Master-IT PRO will automatically configure itself to be either a
master or a slave. All models can be mixed in a cascade
configuration. A master must have an equal number or more PC
ports than the slaves. Do not attempt to configure a slave with
more ports that the master. See figure 2.
