Cascade Console Switches
The IP Console Switch enables Compaq legacy console switches to be cascaded in
the IP Console Switch system. Compatible models include:
• 1 x 4 [PN: 400336 (-001)(-291)(-B31)]
• 1 x 8 [PN: 400337 (-001)(-291)(B-31)]
• 2 x 8 [PN: 400338 (-001)(-291)(B-31)]
• 2 x 8 48VDC [PN: 400542-B21]
IMPORTANT: All Compaq legacy console switches must be upgraded with SoftPaq firmware,
version 2.1.0 or later. If you do not upgrade the legacy console switches, the IP Console
Switch system will not recognize them.
The IP Console Switch system supports only one level of cascading. To be sure that
the equipment performs at optimum levels, follow proper power-on sequences while
cascading console switches.
IMPORTANT: An Expansion Module is considered a level of cascading and, therefore, cannot
be used in combination with a cascaded Compaq legacy console switch.
