Cascading multiple units
The.AdderView.CATx.(IP).units.
support.up.to.sixteen.or.twenty.
four.directly.connected.computer.
systems,.however,.this.is.by.
no.means.the.limit..Thanks.to.
an.intelligent.communication.
system,.called.
Adder Port Direct ,.
many.more.computer.systems.
can.be.controlled.by.connecting.
other.AdderView.CATx.units..
The.combination.of.units.can.
be.arranged.up.to.three.levels.
deep.forming.a.tree,.or.cascade.
arrangement,.with.computer.
systems.situated.at.any.level.
within.that.cascade.tree.
The.maximum.number.of.
computer.systems.that.can.be.
controlled.within.a.cascade.
installation.depends.upon.the.
AdderView.CATx.unit.placed.at.
the.top.level..If.the.top.level.unit.
is.a.non-IP.version,.a.maximum.
of.512.computer.systems.can.
be.controlled..However,.if.the.
top.level.unit.is.an.AdderView.
CATx.IP,.the.maximum.number.
of.computers.drops.to.128..
This.is.due.to.the.extra.burden.
placed.on.the.unit’s.memory.of.

The cascade tree
The.diagram.shows.how.multiple.AdderView.CATx.units.can.be.
cascaded.up.to.three.levels..Computer.systems.can.be.connected.at.
any.level..Up.to.four.users.(local,.remote.or.global).can.simultaneously.
