3.2.3 Parallel Operation (Stacking)
If you have special configurations, especially at installations with several monitors
per workstation, or you need additional support for USB 2.0 transmission paths,
you can increase the number of CPUs and consoles connected using a parallel
operation (stacking) of several ServSwitch DKM FX devices.
One of the ServSwitch DKM FX matrices has to be defined as the master
ServSwitch DKM FX, and all the others have to be configured as slaves and must
be connected to the master ServSwitch DKM FX via a network.
