Addressing computers in a cascade
The.addressing.format.used.by.the.AdderView.CATx.units.
incorporates.the.various.
group letters .along.with.a.final.specific.
port.number.to.which.a.required.computer.is.attached..In.the.
diagram.given.here,.a.portion.of.the.previous.cascade.diagram.
indicates.how.the.routes.to.particular.computers.are.formed.and.
addressed....
Each.cascade.level.requires.a.group.letter.followed.by.a.two.
figure.final.port.number,.hence.the.computer.marked.in.red.
requires.a.longer.address.it.is.at.cascade.level.3,.compared.to.
the.blue.computer.at.level.2.with.its.shorter.unique.address..A.
computer.connected.directly.to.the.AdderView.CATx.at.the.top.
level.would.simply.have.a.two.digit.port.number.
The.group.at.level.2.is.lettered.‘A’.because.it.is.connected.to.
ports.1,.2,.3.and.4.on.the.AdderView.CATx..If.it.was.connected.
to.ports.5,.6,.7.and.8,.then.the.group.letter.would.be.‘B’.and.the.
overall.address.for.the.red.computer.would.be.
CB02.
The.first.time.that.you.make.a.connection.between.two.
AdderView.CATx.units,.the.master.unit.will.detect.this.and.
ask.(via.the.on.screen.menu).if.you.want.to.automatically.add.
computers..If.you.choose.‘Yes’.then.the.ports.on.the.cascade.will.
be.automatically.added.to.the.on.screen.menu.
