I’ve daisy-chained multiple Switches; now I want to add another console. What
do I need to do to get it running?
• If you want to add your console to a Switch that is already in your daisy-chain
with its DIP switches set from 00 through 01, you simply have to connect your
monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
• Connect the Switch to the computers following the same procedure that you would
for a standalone Switch. Before you power-on the BANK, connect the daisy-chain
cable to it and one of the Switches on the end of the chain (be sure to use the IN
port on one BANK and the OUT port on the other). Turn on the Switch. Bring up
the OSD on one of the other consoles, and enter Setup Mode. Go to the Passwords
page and click the “Broadcast Passwords” button. The new console is ready to use
and is synchronized with the remainder of your daisy-chain.
