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.
Selecting
cascaded computers .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 altered to avoid
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.
