Input numbering is based on the sequence in which the cards appear in the cascade and should
therefore be cabled as follows:
The next section shows how to create a cascade from scratch.
Creating a Cascade from Standalone Cards
In this example, a cascade will be built from available Quad cards in the frame shown below.
There are four standalone quad cards, (shown with white circles with a ‘1’ in them) in the frame
with IP 192.168.100.3. One quad card is shown with a question mark ‘?’ in a white square. This
indicates that it is a slave card that has become orphaned and is no longer associated with a
master card. This card can be made available for the new cascade from within the editor using
the Break command as we will see later.
However, not all of them can be cascaded; only those with a ‘+C’ in a white square that is not
crossed out in red have been licensed for cascade. This means that the number of cascadable
cards is only four.
The next section shows the steps required to create the cascade.
