CHAPTER 3: INSTA LL ATION
3.3.3 PARALLEL OPERATION (STACKING)
If you have special configurations, especially at installations with several monitors per workstation or additional support of USB 2.0
transmission paths, the number of connectable CPUs and consoles can be increased by a parallel operation (stacking) of several
Modular KVM Matrix Switches.
One Modular KVM Matrix Switch is defined as the Master Matrix and its IP address entered into the Master IP Address field (see
Section 4.4.1). All other matrices are defined as Sub Matrices. Sub matrices must be connected to the master matrix via a network
connector (RJ-45) on the CPU board. The Enable LAN Echo option has to be activated at the master matrix (see Section 4.4.1).
If a switching command is performed using the OSD, the synchronized matrices will also switch automatically.
NOTE: Switching of stacked devices might be delayed by several seconds.
