Using cascaded computers
In.use,.cascaded.computers.can.be.accessed.using.exactly.the.same.methods.as.
for.those.connected.directly.to.the.AdderView.CATx..However,.by.far.the.easiest.
way.is.to.use.the.on.screen.menu..This.is.because.it.displays.the.computer.
names.and.does.not.require.any.knowledge.of.port.addresses,.some.of.which.
(as.discussed.above).can.be.up.to.six.characters.long..See.the.
.section.in.the.Operation.chapter.for.more.details.
Testing specific links to cascaded computers
As.mentioned.previously,.the.best.and.most.efficient.way.to.access.cascaded.
computers.is.by.using.the.on.screen.menu.and.via.non-specific.routes.through.
the.link.groups..However,.during.configuration.or.troubleshooting,.it.may.be.
useful.to.test.specific.routes.to.computers.in.order.to.verify.the.various.strands.
of.each.link.group..By.using.specific.port.addresses.for.each.unit,.rather.than.
link.group.numbers,.you.can.precisely.navigate.a.route.through.any.part.of.the.
system.
To test a specific link
1. Simultaneously.press.and.hold.
.and.
.
Note:
and
are the standard hotkeys and can be
clashes with other devices or software. If you change the hotkeys, remember
to use the new ones in place of
and
when following these
instructions.
2. While.still.holding.
.and.
,.in.sequence,.press.and.release.the.full.
address.of.the.required.computer.–.remember.to.use.specific.port.numbers,.
not.link.group.addresses,.e.g..061802,.not.BE02.
3. When.the.last.digit.has.been.entered,.release.all.keys.
