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.
